Originating in the late 60s, the iconic Gazelle trainers have been a permanent fixture in the adidas South Africa collection of sport-meets-street-style shoes. Full leather, synthetic suede, nubuck or Primeknit uppers are combined with a distinct rubber outsole and a soft OrthoLite® sockliner for maximum comfort and durability. Vintage-era and contemporary colours let you pick your favourite style for this classic sporty look.
The adidas Gazelle made its debut as a training shoe for indoor football, handball and other games in which speed and agility are the key to success. They’ve long since ventured beyond the pitch and indoor arena to become fashionable footwear for kids, teens and adults alike. The ultimate in simplicity, they impress with clean lines and a low-key profile enhanced by the iconic T-toe and a reinforced heel tab. The serrated 3-Stripes on each side and the adidas logos on the tongue and heel are featured in contrasting colours to underline the brand identity. A wide range of uppers allows you to pick your favourite material, while the Gazelle print (mostly in gold) gives these trainers a discreet fashion appeal. Most models feature a white rubber outsole for all-terrain use, while some are equipped with a translucent gum rubber outsole that’s specifically for indoor wear.
For decades the adidas Gazelle has been a treasured item of footwear on and off the pitch. Its athletic yet fashionable appearance quickly saw it become an iconic trainer everywhere. Ever since its debut in the 1960s the design has remained virtually unchanged, making the adidas Gazelle instantly recognizable among its fellow sneakers. The snug fit, soft uppers and springy cushioning together with a low-level rubber cupsole guarantee the best possible comfort indoors and out. Adult models all come with a lace closure, while toddlers and kids can benefit from hook-and-loop straps for easy on and off.
