Some sneakers transcend their original purpose to become cultural icons, and few have achieved this status quite like the Adidas Gazelle.

Originally designed as a training shoe in the 1960s, the Gazelle has evolved into one of the most recognizable and beloved silhouettes in all of sneakerdom.

Right now, Adidas is offering its legendary sneaker at a significant discount of $80 in several appealing colors.

Back with a Vengeance

The Adidas Gazelle has staged a striking resurgence in popular culture, morphing from a 1960s training shoe into a colorful icon embraced by celebrities, street style, and fashion week runways across the globe

The revival has been driven mainly by influential figures such as Harry Styles, whose frequent wear of the Gazelle—especially high-profile collaborations like the Gucci x Adidas versions—has contributed to a surge in popularity and sales.

The Gazelle’s enduring appeal lies in its simplicity and attention to detail. The shoe features a premium suede upper that looks sophisticated and improves with age, developing a unique patina that tells the story of your adventures.

The iconic three stripes aren’t just decorative — they’re constructed from supple leather, providing structural support as well as visual contrast against the rich suede base.

But comfort is where the Gazelle has always truly shined, thanks to Adidas’ decades of refinement. The shoe features a cushioned insole that provides all-day comfort whether you’re navigating urban landscapes or standing for extended periods. The rubber outsole offers excellent grip and durability, with a herringbone tread pattern that provides traction on various surfaces. The low-profile silhouette sits close to the ground, offering a natural feel that doesn’t sacrifice stability.
