Sporty & Rich x adidas Handball Spezial 'Pink Gum'

The adidas Handball Spezial ‘Sporty & Rich Pink’ reimagines a classic terrace silhouette through the lens of vintage-inspired luxury and modern streetwear aesthetics. This collaboration between adidas and Sporty & Rich, the label founded by Emily Oberg, brings a soft yet striking Pantone pink colorway that highlights the model’s timeless appeal.

The upper is crafted from premium suede, delivering a rich texture and durable finish. Tonal suede overlays enhance the layered construction, while Cream White leather details on the Three Stripes and heel tab introduce a subtle vintage contrast. The result is a balanced design that feels both nostalgic and refined.

Co-branded elements reinforce the collaboration, with “SPORTY & RICH” replacing the traditional SPEZIAL branding along the side panel. Additional adidas branding appears on the heel, maintaining authenticity while aligning with the minimalist aesthetic of the partnership.

A gum rubber outsole completes the design, offering reliable traction and a classic finish that ties back to the silhouette’s sporting roots. The inclusion of Pantone-colored laces adds an extra pop of pink, enhancing the overall visual harmony.

The adidas Handball Spezial ‘Sporty & Rich Pink’ was released on May 23, 2024, with a retail price of $100.
