adidas Skateboarding x Mike Arnold Handball Top Shoe
Couldn't load pickup availability
For his second iteration of the Handball Top, adidas Skateboarding pro Mike Arnold looked to the visual language of speed and friction for inspiration - sparks, smoke, and exhaust translated into a skate shoe. The upper is constructed from a variation of suedes and nubuck, with rubber stripes layered over an embroidered suede base that uses a collage of orange and grey to capture the concept of speed Mike set out to create. Available to shop in-store and online at No-Comply Skateshop in downtown Austin, TX, the Core Black/Semi Impact Orange colorway is the most direct expression of that concept - black as the base, orange as the spark.
CORE BLACK/SEMI IMPACT ORANGE
Style: JR7105
| Technical Component | Specification Detail |
|---|---|
| Design and Pro Collab | Mike Arnold's second Handball Top for adidas Skateboarding - the first was a clean, minimal execution; the second goes further, using the Handball Top's silhouette as a canvas for a visual concept built around speed, friction, and motion. The Core Black/Semi Impact Orange colorway is the most direct expression of that concept: black as the base, orange as the spark. Arnold is one of adidas Skateboarding's most technically precise and creatively distinct pros, and the Handball Top II reflects that. |
| Upper Construction | Multi-textured paneling utilizing a technical variation of suede and nubuck across the upper - different textures in different zones create a layered, collage-like construction that reinforces the speed and friction concept. Signature rubber stripes layered directly over an embroidered suede base with contrast Semi Impact Orange and grey detailing that references sparks and exhaust. |
| Underfoot Architecture | Durable low-profile rubber cupsole unit engineered to handle high-friction street sessions and impact. The cupsole construction keeps the Handball Top close to the ground, maintaining the low-profile indoor court silhouette that defines the model. |
| Fit Profile | Unisex true-to-size fit. Available in US Men's sizes M5/W6 through M13/W14 - one of the widest size runs in the adidas Skateboarding lineup. |
WASH & CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Gently brush away loose surface dirt from the suede and nubuck panels using a soft sneaker brush or specialized suede eraser. Spot clean carefully with a dedicated suede and nubuck cleaner only - do not saturate the multi-textured upper with excessive water. Take care around the embroidered suede panels and rubber stripe detailing when cleaning. Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight or high heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
