Handball socks Hummel
Low for training, high for the match or grip for the hall? The handball socks Hummel cater to all three, made by a brand born in Hamburg that has made handball one of its cornerstones.
Pro, Elite, Blaze, packs of three pairs Basic and Fundamental: the page covers the whole week of a player, in adult and junior sizes.
Hummel Pro: low, rising or Grip
The Pro line is the most extensive on the page. The Pro Low comes in bright colour combinations, from white and red to blue and yellow. Other Pro versions feature white or black, with pink or red accents. The Pro Grip, available in white or black, promises arch support and a moisture-wicking treatment in its description.
Elite, the Hummel sock designed for play
The Elite is the sock placed in the match category on the page. It targets players who want a sock that stays in place during feints and receptions. The details of the cushioning and support are outlined on each model's product page.
Blaze, the low training socks
The Blaze are low training socks in more trendy colours: pale yellow and white, black and blue, sky blue, black and orange. They leave the ankle free for physical preparation and shooting sessions. A good pair for the week, complementing the rising ones for the weekend.
Basic and Fundamental: the packs of three pairs Hummel
To never run out of clean socks, Hummel sells its Basic and Fundamental in packs of three pairs, in black, white or grey. These are simple basics, suitable for training, the gym, or everyday wear. One pack per player is often enough to cover the week's sessions.
Hummel, a bumblebee born in Hamburg and adopted by handball
Hummel was founded in Hamburg in the 1920s and has since moved to Denmark, in Aarhus. Its name means bumblebee in German, and the chevron has become its trademark. The brand has made handball one of its cornerstones and supplies the International Handball Federation (IHF).

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between Hummel Pro and Elite socks?
The Pro line focuses on variety, with low, rising, and grip options. The Elite is focused on matches, with support designed for feints and receptions. For training, the Pro Low is often sufficient.
Are the Hummel Pro Grip socks made for handball?
They are marketed for football and team sports in general. Their arch support and moisture-wicking treatment are just as useful indoors. Just make sure their colour and height match your team's.
How do Hummel socks fit?
They are sized in shoe size ranges, for adults and juniors. For those between sizes, the smaller size holds better during feints. The size guide on the product page provides the exact correspondence.
Do the Basic packs work for matches?
They can be a quick fix if their colour matches the team's, in black or white. For matches, a more technical sock like the Elite provides better foot support. Save the packs for training and everyday use.
How to maintain the elasticity of the socks?
Wash them inside out, at a moderate temperature, and avoid the tumble dryer, which can damage elastane. Don't twist them to wring them out. A well-maintained pair keeps its support much longer.
