Training Icon. Fashion Staple.The adidas Originals Gazelle is one of the most famous sneakers ever released by the brand. The history of the shoe dates back to the 1960s, when it was created as an all-purpose training shoe. A “cross-trainer" before the concept even existed, the Gazelle was marketed for use in multiple sports, from soccer, to handball, to running. The Gazelle started out as a performance design, but as athletic shoe technology progressed throughout the years, its simplicity transformed it into a top-rate option for casual wear. Its fans loved the clean, simple, and low-profile design, with signature elements like the “T-toe" overlay, slim sole, big 3-Stripe branding, and premium suede upper. Worn by everybody from b-boys and b-girls, to rockstars, to club kids, the Gazelle has proven to be one of the most versatile sneakers on the market for decades.An Enduring ClassicAll these years later, the Gazelle is just as popular as ever, thanks to its timeless look and casual comfort. The Gazelle has specifically received a major resurgence in popularity in the last few years, due to adidas Originals bringing the silhouette back in a big way.
