Hummel Perfekt, the retro handball sneaker
Fine silhouette, prominent chevrons and a microfiber upper: the Hummel Perfekt showcase a retro everyday sneaker style, perfect for wearing in the city, at the office or in the stands.
Two silhouettes, SP and CL, a wide range of colours and children's versions to share the same style with the family.
Perfekt, a retro sneaker from the Archive range
The Perfekt is part of the models that Hummel lists under its Archive label: a retro design, coming from the brand's archives, with chevrons as its signature. Hummel is clear about its use: it’s a shoe meant to be worn every day, not for intense sports. It accompanies the player before and after the match, not during.
Perfekt SP or Perfekt CL
The Perfekt SP has a slim line, inspired by court shoes. It comes in bold shades like white, red, and blue, silver grey, or catawba grape purple. The Perfekt CL maintains a more classic look, in colours like black, chestnut brown, green gables, or faded denim. The choice is mainly a matter of taste.
Perfekt: microfibre and TPR sole
The upper is made of microfibre, a material that mimics the look of suede while remaining easy to maintain. Underneath, the TPR sole, a thermoplastic rubber, ensures grip on the pavement. A soft brush and a damp cloth are enough to keep it clean.
Child sizes of Perfekt
The Perfekt SP also comes in child sizes, in white, black, or pale lilac. A young player can thus wear the same sneaker as the older club members to go to school.
For playing, an indoor Hummel
If you’re looking for a match shoe, Hummel has what you need. The Topflight combines a TPU thermally bonded upper and Reach cushioning. The Algiz is aimed at defenders looking for stability, while the Dagaz targets attackers who want lightweight footwear. For another archive model, the Liga GK brings back a handball shoe from the eighties.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Perfekt a goalkeeper shoe?
No, it’s a style sneaker. Hummel states that it is not designed for intense sports. A goalkeeper needs a stable, cushioned indoor shoe like the Algiz.
Does the Perfekt fit normally?
Hummel does not mention any particular sizing. The unisex models follow the brand's men's size guide: compare the length of your foot to what is indicated on the size chart.
How to clean a microfibre upper?
Brush it dry to remove dust, then wipe a barely damp cloth over stains. Let it air dry, without a source of heat.
Can it be worn in the rain?
It can handle a shower, but a microfibre upper is not waterproof. Let it dry stuffed with newspaper to keep its shape.
Can it be used for weight training?
For a few light exercises, it will do, but it isn't meant for jumping or repeated weight-bearing. For physical training, a cross training shoe will hold your foot better.
