Lifestyle and handball: taking your sport off the court

Lifestyle is the everyday wardrobe of athletes. Brands born on the field, often those that dress the clubs, adapt their styles into pieces made for the city: thicker cotton, looser fits, and prominent logos and stripes. A chevron sweatshirt or a pair of sneakers designed for the court can be worn with jeans or joggers. The difference with matchwear is in the materials and cuts, which are more comfortable than technical.

Men, women, juniors: the three entry points of the page

Start with your audience. The Lifestyle men page gathers sweatshirts, t-shirts, trousers, shorts, and jackets in men's or unisex cuts. The Lifestyle women page adds leggings, crop cuts, and boxy sweatshirts. The Lifestyle junior page dresses children and teenagers, with baby sizes for the littlest ones.

City sneakers: three pages by shoe size

Sneakers have their own pages. The men's sneakers page includes retro models, court shoes, and urban running shoes. The women's sneakers page combines retro models, court sneakers, and classic leather styles. And the junior sneakers page fits children's feet, with easy-on styles for the youngest.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a Lifestyle sweatshirt and a training sweatshirt?

The Lifestyle sweatshirt focuses on thick cotton or soft fleece, with a generally looser fit. The training sweatshirt prefers lightweight polyester that wicks sweat and dries quickly. For traveling and everyday wear, the Lifestyle one is more comfortable, while the other is more practical for warming up.

Can you play handball in Lifestyle sneakers?

No, even when their design comes from handball, city sneakers lack the grip and lateral support of indoor shoes. They wear out quickly on a court and increase the risk of sprains. Save them for travel and change shoes in the locker room.

Do Lifestyle sizes fit like matchwear?

Not always. Boxy or oversized cuts are intentionally loose, while matchwear is often fitted. Check the size guide on each product page and the cut description before choosing.

How do you wash a cotton sweatshirt without it shrinking?

Wash it inside out at a low temperature and avoid the tumble dryer, which is the main cause of shrinkage. Lay it flat to dry to maintain its shape. Prints and embroidery also age better when washed inside out.

What to choose for a handball fan as a gift?

A sweatshirt or t-shirt from a brand that outfits the clubs, like Hummel or adidas, is always appreciated. To avoid sizing mistakes, a backpack, a pair of socks, or a cap are sure bets. Retro sneakers inspired by handball also appeal to enthusiasts.
