The Adidas Gazelle has been released in a wide variety of color ways, but always features the brand’s traditional three stripes on the side and trefoil logo on the tongue. The Adidas Gazelle is also very lightweight, making it good for dancing. B-boys and other hip-hop heads have adopted the Adidas Gazelle as their shoe of choice.
The Adidas Gazelle is named after the gazelle, which is a small African antelope. The shoe’s design clearly gets its inspiration from it’s name itself.
