A team is also recognized by its feet, and the adidas socks for handball play this card with a wide range of club colours, from bright red to royal blue.
Match models, footless sleeves, thinner training socks: each use has its reference, available in adult and junior sizes.
The Adi model carries the page. It comes in knee-high, plain or two-tone styles, available in the most common club colours: black, white, bright red, blue royal, yellow, green, orange, and light grey. Its plain variants from the brand complete the palette. A team can almost always find its shade, from the red of the jersey to the blue of the shorts.
The Team Sleeve is a footless sock: a sleeve that covers the calf and is worn over a trainer sock or anti-slip sock. The concept comes from football, where one keeps their grip sock on and puts on a sleeve in the club colours. In handball, the idea works well if the whole team adopts it, as socks and anything worn on the lower leg must all be the same colour for the entire team.
For training, the page offers models from the Performance range and Light socks, which are thinner than match models. They are suitable for physical preparation sessions, strength training, and recovery runs. Save the knee-highs for the weekend and wear these during the week.
The adidas socks come in shoe size ranges. The page includes junior models, useful for dressing a team of under eleven in the same colours as the seniors. A quickly growing child should take the upper range, provided the heel of the sock stays in place.
adidas outfits the French handball team. For a club already equipped with the brand, getting socks from the same manufacturer makes it easier to match the shades with the jerseys and shorts, as the colours share the same names from one piece to another.
For a sock designed primarily for handball, check out the socks Hummel, with their Pro line, or the socks Kempa, from a brand focused on handball. The socks Select are available in bulk for an entire club. All brands are gathered on the page handball socks, with clearance items on the page clearance textile.
Yes, a knee-high football sock performs the same role indoors: support, protection from chafing, team colour. Just make sure that the colour is the same for the whole team. For the week, a thinner model is enough.
It's better to avoid this during a match. The IHF rules require socks of the same colour for all team players. If the sleeve is used, the whole team must adopt it.
Make sure to get your true shoe size, not too big or too small. A sock that is too large will bunch and twist around the foot. With a Team Sleeve, wearing an anti-slip trainer sock underneath solves the issue.
Wash them inside out, separate from colours, and avoid fabric softener which sets dirt in the fibres. Soaking before washing helps after a match on a dusty surface. Air drying preserves elasticity.
It’s not mandatory, but it’s more practical. The knee-highs in club colours stay clean and intact for the weekend. The thinner models can handle the wear and tear of the week.
