Handball socks Kempa
Bernhard Kempa left his name to a gesture, this pass caught in suspension and shot before falling back down, and to a mark: that of these handball socks, fully oriented towards handball.
Logo Classic low or high, STMNT with message, Team Classic in sets: each pair is chosen in the colours of your club, in adult or junior size.
Logo Classic: the sock Kempa low or high
The Logo Classic is the cornerstone of the page. In low version, it comes in black and white, white and red, blue and white, white and royal blue, white and black, or in black and gold. In high version, it offers the same combinations, plus a flash blue. A team chooses its height, then its colour combination.
STMNT, the socks Kempa that make a statement
The STMNT line plays on style. Its models display messages like "No Pain No Glory" or "Only Now", in white and grey, in white and black, or in beige and black. These are training or everyday socks, for anyone wanting to show their state of mind down to their ankles.
Team Classic in a pack of three: the basic equipment Kempa
The Team Classic is sold in packs of three pairs, in black or white. It's the sock that you keep in your bag for the week. For a club, the pack simplifies ordering and ensures everyone has several identical pairs.
Kempa, a brand born for handball
Kempa is the handball brand of the German group Uhlsport. It is named after Bernhard Kempa, a German player associated with the famous "Kempa", this move where a player receives the ball while suspended above the area and shoots before landing. The whole page is focused on handball, a sign of a brand that stays true to its roots.
Kempa adult or junior: finding the right size
The socks Kempa come in adult and junior sizes. Choose the size range that fits, without going up: a sock that’s too long will crease underfoot. For a youth team, the junior Logo Classic allows for exact colour matching with the seniors.
Hummel, Select, adidas: other handball socks
For comparison, the socks Hummel offer a Pro line and an Elite, the socks Select offer a Basic model available in packs for clubs, and the socks adidas come in a wide range of colours. All brands are on the handball socks page. For good deals, check out the Black Friday textile when the time comes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Low or high socks for a handball match?
The IHF regulations do not specify: they just require that the socks are the same colour for the whole team. The high ones cover more of the calf, while the low ones allow for more freedom. The choice often falls to the club.
What does STMNT mean at Kempa?
It’s the name of a line that focuses on printed messages, a way to express a state of mind. The STMNT models are more about style and training than team kits. For matches, the Logo Classic is easier to match.
Can you wear message socks in a match?
Only if the whole team wears the same model, in the same colour. In practice, clubs prefer understated socks that match the jersey. Save the statement models for practice sessions.
How can you prevent white socks from yellowing?
Wash them quickly after the session, inside out and separately from colours. Avoid fabric softeners, which set deposits in the fibres, and drying in sunlight. Regular soaking keeps the white bright.
Do Kempa socks go with shoes from another brand?
Of course, a sock doesn’t need to match the shoe brand. What matters is the right size range and a thickness that suits your footwear. Try your shoes on with the socks you’ll wear in the match.
