Adidas Gazelle

Adidas Gazelle, 50 years without ever running out of steam

At the end of the 60s, Adidas was in the starting blocks. The brand with the 3 stripes is preparing to launch on the market one of the most iconic models in its history and sneaker culture. They decide to name their new shoe after a small mammal, the gazelle. Slender, agile and very fast, able to cover great distances at sustained speed, we understand the analogy. Indeed, these sneakers are designed for athletics, promising track enthusiasts comfort, support and shock absorption. In the end, it's more of a pair of multisport sneakers. The German firm has also imagined two different versions: a blue one for indoor sports and a second in red more suited to outdoor activities. Whatever the terrain, the gazelle took off with a bang and there was no stopping it. Adidas even made it the slogan of its original advertising campaign: “You need equipment that just doesn't stop”.

An elegant shoe that everyone likes

The gazelle took off again at the beginning of the 80s. Thanks to a timeless line and a distinctive look, it gradually became more popular and quickly became a lifestyle shoe. It is in turn adopted in Europe by football fans who like to match the color of their sneakers to that of the jersey of their favorite club, then by American skaters. For them, Adidas has created a special model designed for urban sports with a grippy outsole and double-thickness reinforcement at the forefoot. It is then highlighted by international stars. Jamiroquai, the English singer, big fan of oversized hats and who loves to be stylish from head to toe, features the Gazelle in several of his clips. Hip Hop has also adopted them and the American group Beastie Boys has made them their favorite pair.
