adidas Gazelle History
The Adidas Gazelle first hit the market in 1968, designed as a versatile training shoe for athletes. Its slim silhouette, suede upper, and grippy gum sole made it ideal for a range of sports, from soccer to track, quickly gaining popularity for both performance and style. The original Gazelle came in two colors—red and blue—each representing different training functions. Red featured microcell technology for indoor sports, while blue provided extra grip for outdoor training.
As the decades passed, the Gazelle evolved from just performance wear to a cultural icon. During the ’80s, it became a favorite among football fans in Europe, particularly with the British “Casuals” scene, where it symbolized rebellion and street style. This period cemented its place as a fashion staple in the Adidas lineup.
The Gazelle’s timeless design has since attracted countless collaborations and special editions, from high-profile partnerships with artists like Pharrell Williams to special releases with brands like Palace Skateboards. Each iteration pays homage to its heritage while adapting to new trends, making the Adidas Gazelle one of the most enduring and versatile sneakers in streetwear.
