adidas Handball Spezial Sporty & Rich Green

The adidas Handball Spezial Sporty & Rich Green, released in May 2024, blends the heritage of the classic indoor court sneaker with a modern collegiate aesthetic curated by Sporty & Rich. This edition features a premium dark green suede upper contrasted with white leather Three Stripes, heel tab, and laces, creating a vivid yet sophisticated colourway that effortlessly transitions between sport and street environments.

The sneaker highlights fine craftsmanship with subtle gold foil branding on the side, supplanting the traditional "Handball Spezial" text with the "Sporty & Rich" logo. A wedge-shaped gum rubber sole anchors the design, providing durability, comfort, and vintage flair characteristic of the original model. The padded collar and cushioned insoles ensure all-day wearability.

Sporty & Rich’s refined approach to reinterpreting adidas classics is evident in this model’s clean lines, premium materials, and balanced silhouette, making it a desirable piece for enthusiasts who appreciate the fusion of retro style with contemporary luxury.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
