The Birth of Men’s adidas Gazelle Shoes

When the first pair of men’s adidas Gazelles landed in 1966, following in the footsteps of a previous three-stripes collection, the Olympiade, they catered to the needs of athletes, with grippy outsoles and uppers made of premium-quality suede. During these days, two models were in circulation, distinguished by their colours: red and blue. The former targeted those interested in indoor sports, while the latter inserted itself into the training market.

With time, the collection became more widespread, with people all around the world putting them to the test. This is a testament to the shoe’s versatility and broad appeal, two factors that have allowed it to survive into the modern day.

After a short-lived hiatus from the market, the ’80s saw the return of the men’s adidas Gazelle, which was effectively repositioned as a lifestyle sneaker. The casual appearance of the collection combined with its classic feel made it a hit; unsurprisingly, sneakerheads continue to clamour to get their hands on a pair.

How to Style Men’s adidas Gazelles

The adidas Originals line is at the height of its popularity right now, with millions of sneakerheads choosing to embrace the nostalgic look of the retro era. If you’ve found yourself consumed by the trend and set your sights on a pair of men’s Gazelles, you’ll surely want to know how to style them properly.

These shoes are commonly paired with jeans, giving a relaxed appearance, but they’re versatile enough to be used with many different clothing types, including tracksuits and smart-casual attire. These clothes can come in various colours, but we recommend selecting ones that complement your chosen sneaker; neutral shades go well with most palettes, whereas vibrant ones need more thought.
