Mike Arnold x adidas Handball Top "Black" JR7105

The Mike Arnold x adidas Handball Top “Black” brings a sharp mix of skate influence and retro sports style. It keeps the low-profile shape of the classic Handball Top but shifts the vibe through richer textures and small visual hits that feel bold without going loud.

The upper blends suede, nubuck and leather in deep black. Each layer adds a different feel under the light. The Three Stripes sit on embroidered suede, giving them a raised look that hints at motion — a nod to Mike’s idea of speed and the movement of skate lines. It’s subtle, but once you notice it, you can’t unsee it.

Touches of Semi Impact Orange break through the darker tones. They sit closer to sparks and exhaust streaks than a bright pop, which ties cleanly into the theme Mike wanted to express. The mix keeps the shoe grounded while still offering personality.

Inside, you get a soft textile lining for everyday wear. The rubber outsole grips well on concrete, making the shoe easy to trust for casual skating or just city walking. Fit stays true thanks to classic lacing and a secure shape.

If you’re after a pair that blends old-school adidas DNA with a more expressive edge, the “Black” colourway fits that sweet spot. Keep an eye on UK stockists — this one won’t sit around for long.
