The Adidas Gazelle is making a MAJOR stylish comeback with the fashion set

Designed in 1966, the Adidas Gazelle was the German-based company’s first trainer made from suede, giving drab leather alternatives a fair run.

Now, the swiftness of the gazelle is also a reminder of how quickly Gen Z is recycling and reinvigorating tried-and-true trends. While the undeniably cool sneaker never completely went out of style, in our nostalgia-obsessed age, it’s made a comeback with fashion’s assemblage of influencers.

Ivanka Trump is the latest celebrity to step out wearing a look from the sports brand’s collaboration with luxury fashion house Gucci. And she is not the only one. Everyone wants Gazelles right now, and you will too!

The Gazelle shoe was originally designed as an indoor soccer shoe.

Some think it is named after Wilma Rudolph, the American sprinter who won three gold medals wearing Adidas at the 1960 Rome Olympics and earned the nickname ‘The Black Gazelle’.

The performance sneaker quickly becomes a fashion item thanks to a handful of influential subcultures and Mick Jagger in the ’70s, and celebrities like Kate Moss and the Beastie Boys in the ’80s.

They originally only came in two colors, red and blue.

There have been plenty of new iterations of the iconic shoe over the years, the most notable being the collaborative designs with former Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele.

Despite the $850 price tag, Gucci’s first collaboration (released in June 2022) was an immediate hit, thanks to superstars like Harry Styles pairing their custom ensembles (both onstage and off) with Gazelle sneakers.

Available in a variety of fun colors, these stylish and functional sneakers have been found on the feet of men and women of all ages, including Hollywood royalty Brad Pitt.

Retro sneakers are a refreshing change for anyone who no longer has the chunky dad sneakers that have been all the rage in recent years.

From the streets to the red carpet, the versatile, minimalist design makes for a great look.

Case in point, Ivanka Trump. The 41-year-old man was seen leaving the hair salon in Miami, Florida wearing blue jean overalls and dark sunglasses.

She added a pop of color to her casual look with a white leather tote bag and pink Adidas Gazelle x Gucci sneakers with a trefoil print and gold stripes.

Brad Pitt hit the global ‘Bullet Train’ promotional circuit breaking all the red carpet rules and wowing fans.

Forget a tailored suit or sweltering tuxedo, the 58-year-old was revolutionizing everything from a linen look to a matching ensemble with Gazelle sneakers.

On the red carpet at the 79th Venice International Film Festival with ‘Blonde,’ Brad took his uncharacteristically casual vibe a step further by wearing black Gazelles with a tuxedo.

But in the heartthrob’s defense, Gucci’s makeover certainly makes the sneaker feel more like a red carpet.

Celebrities like Olivia Wilde, Rita Ora, and Alessandra Ambrosio have embraced the simple, clean, and minimalist design of classic Gazelles, which retail for around $100.

Typically made with a suede nubuck upper, the Adidas Gazelle shoes feature their signature 3-Stripe detailing, T-toe overlay, heel patch, minimalist rubber outsole, and Gazelle logo on metallic gold.

While out and about, Rita and Olivia added a cool element to their blue jeans with yellow sneakers with red stripes.

For an afternoon of shopping in the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, Nicky Hilton Rothschild combined her sneakers with her blue turtleneck sweater.

Long distance clothing is one of the trickiest clothing conundrums, but not for Brie Larson.

The ‘Captain Marvel’ actress got serious about her airport transit style in Japan wearing a black trench coat and skinny jeans, accessorized with a Gucci and Gazelles bag.

From celebrities to street style stars, the Adidas Gazelle, with its minimalist yet versatile aesthetic, has made its mark as a cultural mainstay delivering cool looks for nearly 60 years.

Gazelles have become the quintessential low-key option for fashion week casual outfits for influencers like Maria Barteczko in Copenhagen.

But they also work well with bolder, more couture items, like a formal dress or skirt, for an interesting juxtaposition of highs and lows.

Looking for a new pair of understated sneakers with serious fashion cred? Now is the time to slide into Gazelles.

Choose a bold color from over 40 available and carry on the legacy of the iconic shoe.
