I bought these a few months ago and have only worn them about 5 times. They're still in great condition. The heels are hardly worn down. The box and the white laces that came with them are also included. The following is a quote: This Handball Spezial is a model that forms the basis of a relaxed style. Originally designed in 1979 for indoor handball, it has become a popular low-profile sneaker that can be worn anywhere, from the stadium to the street. The upper is made of high-quality suede, combined with soft leather details and a gum sole, creating an iconic design that is both sporty and sophisticated. A small logo on the side pays homage to the sport that is the root of this shoe. This classic and versatile style is easy to match with any item, from denim to dresses, connecting the best of the past and the present.
