Adidas Gazelle shoes

In recent weeks we have looked closely at some of Adidas Original’s most defining footwear creations, last time it was the recently re-released City Series’ Hamburg which got us talking, this time we continue our celebration of their most cherished silhouettes by looking at the much-loved Gazelle, a multi-purpose shoe which has become a cult classic over the years and is now available in a multitude of different colours and fabrics.

OG- meaning original- is a reference to the shoe which was first introduced in 1968 and since that day its appearance has barely changed at all. Despite that, it has remained ever popular and is without a shadow of a doubt one of the brand’s all-time best selling designs. Terrace Casuals, Britpop icons and a whole host of other movements in between have been infatuated by these shoes and they continue to attract new generations of fans to this day.
