Adidas Originals and Sporty & Rich are teaming up for an innovative new collection, which is the latest installment of their collaborative partnership. Both labels created a trio of new colorways for the Handball Spezial.
Up first is the mauve pink colorway, which features a suede upper complete with leather stripes, and a leather heel mustache, as well as gold foil Sporty & Rich branding. White laces complete the model, which is rounded out by a tan-brown gum sole.
Next are the teal green and black colorways, which also boasts Adidas’ signature leather three stripes and a leather heel mustache alongside a tan brown gum sole and the gold foil Sporty & Rich branding. The white laces assist with providing a standout and complementary contrast.

The Adidas’ iconic Trefoil logo, first used in 1972 and championed by those who continue to shape and define creative culture, finishes all three silhouettes. What’s more, each pair will arrive in a custom box exclusive to the collection, which collectors will be able to use.
The fourth Adidas Originals x Sporty & Rich collection launches on May 23rd via Confirmed, and sportyandrich.com. The capsule will also be available through Adidas stores and select retailers. Pricing is set at $169.
Founded by Emily Oberg in 2014, Sporty & Rich began as a mood board for life; a collection of images from past and present that represent a life surrounded by beauty. Rapidly expanding into a print magazine and other categories, the brand now offers collections of simple, yet thoughtfully designed products that emphasize longevity over momentary relevance.
