Adidas Gazelle, sneakers for everyone

This shoe that was introduced to the Adidas catalog in the late 60s, has had to compete with great models from the German company, such as the Adidas Stan Smith, Adidas Indoor Super, Adidas Campus, Adidas München... And a long list of shoes that have kept a simple design, in which its main material was premium suede on a rubber sole, the design of which is characterized by the classic three stripes on the side of the shoe.

Adidas Gazelle Antique

Regarding its name, it is said that it was due to the athlete Wilma Rudolph, who because of her sporting success was nicknamed"The Black Gazelle", hence the origin of the name Adidas Gazelle, but it is something highly debated, since this athlete retired several years before the launch of this shoe, why then would they be inspired by a retired star? And another theory related to the German handball team, with which the German brand tested several shoes by naming them after fast mammals, such as Jaguar, Panther and perhaps Gazelle was one of those names. This second anecdote is more convincing seeing that the model has a great resemblance to the shoes used to play handball at that time.

From the 80's onwards, this shoe took over all the streets due to the large influx of young people who were interested in fashion at that time, among them different subcultures such as English MOD, skaters, music icons, professional athletes. All this made the Gazelle become one of the most popular shoes in Great Britain and part of Europe.

Currently they offer a wide range of colors that do not leave anyone indifferent, it is also true that they have undergone a great variation of materials and a major update to the Adidas Gazelle Super version, although this model did not stand out in the same way the main model did, going from being a shoe to being part of the purest StreetWear style. This model has been a favorite of world stars such as British singer Noel Gallagher, who has Adidas with his face printed on the tongue in the style of the Stan Smith and British model Kate Moss, to name the most prominent. These celebrities have been joined by more stylish young girls such as Veronika Heilbrunner, Alexa Jung and Gigi Hadid.

If you have a great fondness for shoes and you still haven't had the chance to step with the Adidas Gazelle, you have to know that these shoes will never go out of fashion, with more than 50 years on the feet of several generations and all of them have had something in common; their favorable opinion about the comfort of this simple footwear.
