Adidas Gazelle ADV Shoes in Bluebird and White. A skateboarding version of the classic adidas Gazelle, a footwear style originally designed to be a training shoe for sports such as indoor football and handball, this edition features bluebird tone uppers and contrasting white accents for a contemporary look with skate-focused features at the core. At the toe a double-layer of suede provides additional durability in a key area whilst on either side of the foot three white stripes add signature branding with gold metallic ‘Gazelle’ lettering to one side to signify the model. The lace up fastening works to keep the foot in place when active and the cushioned tongue features a woven branded label which is furthered by a printed trefoil emblem on the back of the heel. A soft fabric lining runs throughout the inside of the shoe alongside a moulded Adiprene sockliner and the white rubber midsole has a higher foxing tape strip than other models which works in harmony with the Geoflex outsole to provide elevated grip.
As one of the most recognised adidas footwear styles in history, the Gazelle has a rich history that dates back to the 1960’s and continues to make its mark with new editions that refresh key features associated with the design in selected colour combinations and high quality materials. With a simple but effective aesthetic, the Gazelle has been a favourite style within sportswear, fashion and music culture since its inception and has been included within a variety of high-grade collaborations as a go-to style with classic appeal.
