The Gazelle is one of the oldest names in the Adidas archive and still one of the most loved. It is a simple suede sneaker with three contrasting stripes, and it comes in more colours than almost any other model. That combination of heritage and colour is what keeps it relevant year after year.

The story of the Adidas Gazelle

The Gazelle first appeared in the 1960s as a training shoe. It was light, flexible and made with a suede upper at a time when that was far from standard for sports shoes. Over the years it was used for training, for indoor sports and eventually for everyday wear.

In the nineties the Gazelle became a big part of British music and fashion culture, worn with denim, tracksuits and parkas. That image of a laid-back, slightly rebellious classic has stuck. When the terrace and low profile trend came back, the Gazelle naturally returned with it, alongside the Samba, Spezial and Campus.

Gazelle Indoor and Gazelle Bold

Most pairs in this collection are the Gazelle Indoor. This version has a gum outsole, a slightly lower and longer shape and a T-shaped overlay on the toe, which gives it a sportier, more vintage feel than the classic Gazelle. It sits between the slim Samba and the softer Spezial, and it is a great pick if you want a bit of both.

The Gazelle Bold takes the familiar upper and puts it on a stacked platform sole. It adds a few centimetres of height and gives the shoe a playful, fashion forward look. The Gazelle Bold is mostly released in women's sizing, and it is popular with anyone who wants a classic shape with a little extra.

Adidas Gazelle for women, men and kids

The Gazelle is unisex. Many colourways are women's releases, marked (W), but anyone can wear them in the right EU size. Men often go for the Gazelle Indoor in Scarlet, Collegiate Green or Blue Bird. For kids we sometimes have pairs like the Gazelle Bold Wonder White Clear Sky (Kids); use the size filter to see what is available.

Adidas Gazelle sizing and fit

Most people take their usual size in the Gazelle. The Gazelle Indoor is a little narrow and low, similar to the Samba, so if you have wide feet you might prefer half a size up. The suede upper is soft and gives a bit with wear. The Gazelle Bold usually fits like the regular Gazelle, but the platform sole makes it feel different when walking. If you are unsure, try on a few sizes in our store in Tilburg.

Styling and care

The Gazelle is easy to style. Wear it with straight jeans, a pleated skirt, a tracksuit or wide trousers. Bright colourways like Scarlet or Collegiate Green work as the eye-catcher of a simple outfit, while Wonder Clay or Magic Beige blend in with neutral tones. Suede likes some care: brush it regularly and use a protective spray from our sneaker cleaning collection. New flat laces are an easy way to refresh your pair.
