Emily Oberg's Sporty & Rich has carved out a unique niche within the lifestyle and fashion industry, blending retro athletic aesthetics with luxury. The brand's partnership with adidas has flourished, offering fresh takes on classic silhouettes. In 2024, this collaboration continues to blossom by introducing a pack of adidas Handball Spezial colorways, further solidifying Oberg’s penchant for vintage sportswear. Alongside this Handbal Spezial collection, Sporty & Rich will team up with adidas on the SL72 silhouette.
This exciting release features the adidas Handball Spezial in three new colorways: Pink, Brown, and Green. Each sneaker is crafted from premium suede that envelopes the shoe in a singular, tonal color. Creamy leather accents enhance the midfoot's iconic Three Stripes and heel tab, elevating the traditional athletic look to sophisticated leisure. Unique to this collaboration, the usual Handball text on the lateral midfoot is replaced with Sporty & Rich branding, signifying Oberg’s direct influence on the design. The tongue tag and insoles bear co-branded details, showcasing the successful partnership between adidas and Sporty & Rich, all sitting atop a classic gum rubber sole that complements the shoe’s rich upper with a timeless finish.
The Sporty & Rich x adidas Handball Spezial Pack will release May 23, 2024, through Sporty & Rich, adidas, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $120. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app for updates on this release and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
