Best Laces for Adidas Handball Spezial

The Adidas Handball Spezial’s iconic silhouette and sleek 6 eyelet design demand an exact fit with its vintage indoor soccer profile. Whether you want a clean loose laced look, choosing the right Lace Lab width and style keeps your pair looking retail fresh. Here’s our exact guide to the best lace options, sizing, and colors for the Spezial.

Navy Blue - Thin Oval Laces
If you want your Spezials to look like a limited edition collaboration rather than a DIY project, exact color matching is everything. Our 45" Navy Blue Flat Laces seamlessly mirror the upper’s native tones while offering a subtle texture upgrade over standard flat laces. They tie up tight, keep the silhouette low profile, and look like they came straight out of the factory box.

Lace Length
Getting the right lace length for the Adidas Handball Spezial comes down entirely to its eyelet design. A lace that's too long leaves you with floppy loops that drag on the ground, while a lace that's too short forces an awkward knot that pulls the eyelets in too tight. Sticking with the right size lace gives you that sweet spot: enough length for a clean proportioned tie.
Frequently Asked Questions
What length lace is best for the Adidas Handball Spezial?
Since the Handball Spezial features a low profile build with 6 to 7 eyelets, a 45" lace is the sweet spot for a clean or a neat untied look. If you prefer tying larger bows or using every single eyelet up to the top a 54" lace works best.
Should I use flat, oval, or rope laces on my Spezials?
Thin oval or flat laces match the retro indoor soccer silhouette best. Bulky options like thick rope laces stack up too high on the low eyelets and overpower the vintage suede upper.
How many laces come in one order from Lace Lab?
All Lace Lab laces are sold in pairs, so one order covers both your left and right shoes!
Can I customize my Handball Spezial laces with metal tips?
Yes! While standard Lace Lab laces come with clear aglets, you can add gold, silver, or gunmetal aglets (sold separately) to elevate your lace swap with a premium finish.
