adidas Gazelle: Everything You Should Know

[@restplz11]

I feel like if u had every color of this shoe u wouldnt really need anything else

[@emonicannon290]

he missing some cause I have colors he don't have

[@licalica2493]

Emoni Cannon which colors?

[@f4rensabri]

Gazelle has tons of colors if you check out UK/EU based online shops, the list is endless. And that hasn't even count collaboration releases. Some Gazelles also come with gum bottoms.

[@me5969]

Not to mention Mi Adidas.

[@me5969]

it's an offical Adidas website were you create/customise your own Adidas trainers. You start off by picking an exsisting trainer as a base then customise away.

[@ranteezy1862]

Gazelles are amazing to break in. Always seeing people at dance events rocking gazelles and puma suedes!

[@legendaryTMNICO]

They definitely look better than the Reebok shoes.

[@j0nnyism]

The 60s ones don’t even need breaking in they’re incredibly comfortable

[@ttorrison01]

I love the high arch on the Gazelle. Haven't found a better sneaker in all my years.

[@ritchie3808]

Do this with more different sneakers please.

[@marciamonteiro9360]

I've been wanting to get the gazelle's for some time now and I finally got the cream/off white ones and they look great

[@dang8961]

Love these, just copped a pair of B&W's to mess around in. They remind me a lot of Puma Suedes (favorite sneaker of all time). I really love the Navy colorway and am wondering if I should exchange for Navy or cop the Navy at a later point. Definitely a slept on sneaker which makes them even cooler for me.

[@hadgh2666]

If i see another American saying gazelles and superstars look alike...

[@f4rensabri]

American's don't know nothing about Adidas. I bet they've never even seen the SPZL releases, or the city series trainers and runners like Hamburg, Munchen, LA Trainer, New York... and tons of the vintage releases already popular in the Europe and Asia. The most they know is Gazelle, Superstar, and Stan Smith which only got hyped in the past 1~2 years. Those who knew Sambas probably knew a bit about football (or soccer as they say). There were even some that don't believe Gazelles ever come with gum bottom smh.

[@jacobswindle6817]

[@bingevintage8124]

Faren Sabri well tbh I feel like Nike is more popular here in America although I prefer adidas way more

[@shygirl5545]

Lmfaooo I'm pissed . They look nothing alike . A German tourist walked in to the Adidas store and said is this Adidas? Pronouncing it AH-Dee-Dahs (the correct way) and the employees there were so confused 😂😂😂

[@bjammers]

Hey Jacques, I am interested in getting the Gazelle with the neon lemon/lime color...what is the official name of that shoe ? Thanks

[@tracy1369]

I was eyein the blue pair the whole time! Super pumped for the release

[@gimlet7]

I love you. I though I was the only one who craved the gazelle.

[@gimlet7]

Follow up to that. I honestly don't think you did much research. The gazelle og is the much more streamlined and smooth midel and is considered to be much better and more popular than the gazelle 2.

[@kenu3884]

+Chixago it's not the gazelle 2 that he's talking about

[@gimlet7]

He called it the gazelle but really it is known as the gazelle 2.

[@135Pandemonium]

+Chixago Indeed Og > gazelle 2

[@tobybradley1723]

+Chixago it's not the gazelle 2 it's the reissue of the gazelle og which they will be fazing out over the summer

[@meganha2249]

Definitely copping a pair, a must have for a adidas fan, and plus I don't think there's going to be a lot of people rocking these as much as the superstars! Superstars are too popular and hyped.

[@twenyynepilotsya8023]

Megan Ha i have the blue mint ones, they are really nice and comfortable

[@CamNinetyNine]

Personally for me I couldn’t own either because they are so unoriginal

[@swiftlylovestruck]

Megan Ha superstars are not even that good of a quality as these. plus they're more boring-looking and repetitive

[@j0nnyism]

Ive got a pair of black gazelles with the superstar tricolour stripes. Pretty cool limited edition

[@thereddeviltony2171]

Ha are u still using this account? I really like your profile pic

[@longdaysandhardworkatramra8260]

My quick review, they squeek from day one till the very end, the tongue on the outsole just squeaks all the time and it's embarrassing, the white material of the tongue is some strange foam type material that manages to stain easy and be very stiff and uncomfortable till worn in, wear in takes about a week or so, the soles wear down very quickly even if only used on concrete, mine wore down after about a month. And my biggest gripe was the tongue in the left shoe would always slip down the side of my foot, like it was sewn in unevenly.

[@ajjohnstone7063]

An amazing trainer. I prefer the all white or all black leather versions. Suede ones tend to mark easier

[@actionbraxton]

I'd like to see you do an episode about the Dassler Brothers (Adidas vs Puma) and Onitsuka Tiger (Asics) vs Nike rivalries.

[@mysticabib]

That off white is fire

[@usAUk126]

hahah true..

[@usAUk126]

@Clownsey i already found an idea.. i just taped the area where the rubber-like on the side of the tongue meet.. use paper-masking tape and problem solved.. just tried yesterday.. :) hope this helps..

Had a blue pair a couple of years ago. Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Would love to get a new pair of black ones.

[@wuhank]

gazelle rocks man, goes with anything, da pink color is on fire

[@natethagod2426]

The cream and light pink ones are the best

[@JM-dj6hq]

I love the gazelle; the fact is, there couldn't be ENOUGH colors of this great shoe! I recently bought the pink color online, and I Love them....I"m hoping they release a ROYAL PURPLE gazelle....i'd buy two pairs!....thanks for the video.

[@alexanderschwartz5507]

What about the sizing? True to size or big/small?

[@truman7502]

Is Gazelle Total White model is still available? How can we order here in Japan?

[@clalyrics441]

Okay I need help. I have the light pink or cream ones, IDK they look different than both in real life.. but anyway, they have become a tad bit dirty at the front and i wanted to know how to effectively clean them without ruining the suede. THANKS!

[@everyonewhorepliestothisyo8234]

jaskor18 I have none either

[@musically_insane]

jaskor18 hey! So the place where I bought it from, they told me to use an old toothbrush, dip it in soap solution, and clean it without letting it get soaked. Clean the areas that need to be cleaned, and then wipe it with a slightly damp cotton cloth. I’ve used this method ever since I bought my own pair, and it works just fine! Hope this helps.

[@JH40X]

Bruh just throw them in the washing machine, will get rid of the dirt and shouldn't ruin the suede

[@pittibarlin8692]

Suede brush, simple. Be gentle though, do ou gradually without much pressure. Best way to avoid it all in the first place is spray them with suede protector as soon as you take them out the box, don't even try them on lol. Give them a new going over every six months and dirt/water just falls off them. I never have to properly clean my Gazelles, just a wipe with a baby wipe before they go back in their box, all it takes is spending £3/$5 extra on a good, waterproof suede protector before wearing them and they'll last you for years and years. It puzzles me when people don't protect their Gazelles, or Timberland boots, it costs pennies in relation to the price of the shoes to begin with.

[@ParkerLewis411]

The high arch in the sole hurts my feet so I rip that bit of extra padding out. I also modify the tongue by cutting it back to the first outline with scissors.

[@101feven101]

I think that’s the reason why I’m having some heel slippage in these shoes. I wear 8.5 vans but that didn’t fit me in gazelles so I got 7.5 and lengthwise they’re fine but I feel my heel slipping out a bit. Did you have the same problem?

[@otisdriftwood4457]

Been killing these since the 80s..got every color and i keep them flawless..They are truly the best wearing kicks ive ever owned..screw Nike and Jordan's..3 stripes are the original and all time best brand on the planet..Thank you Adidas!!!!!

[@themancuniancandidate2744]

I've been wearing Gazelles since the 1980s when I was a teenager. Growing up in Manchester, pretty much every lad had either Gazelles or Samba Supers (both if you were lucky); they were just an absolute staple, and even today most blokes in Manchester will have one or the other in their wardrobe. I now play guitar and sing in a Britpop tribute band, and Gazelles are my go-to shoe for gigs. I also wore them on a recent trip to Singapore, when I walked an average 30000 steps per day sightseeing. No blisters or bunyons etc, even in massive heat and humidity. They really are unbeatable in terms of comfort/style/utility

[@Turo1971]

Just over the border in Derbyshire … gazelle from 84 and the Samba super which was standard uniform till present day on the streets of Derbyshire 😂 All gazelle must have white laces …. It’s law !!😂

[@quenched56]

So the OG is better for a broader foot? I had a pair 20 years ago and want to get another set however im 20kgs wider.

[@Floyd_Steel]

Can you do a difference between the gazelle and VL court 2.0 video

[@mvusum6173]

What about the colour, does it last longer when washing?

[@highnoon9333]

The kelly green gazelles are gorgeous! I need more padding/comfort in my sneakers, though :(

[@deepayoga2010]

hey Jacques, you seem to have fascinating facts about the Gazelle. how about the wearing comfort and in-sole cushioning of the Gazelle... is it more comfy than the Adi Stan Smith..?

[@pittibarlin8692]

Got 3 pairs of Gazelles arriving from Amazon tomorrow to replace ones that have been worn too often (Black, Royal blue, Collegiate Burgundy) to join a Pink pair I got last week, the same ones as in this video (they're called Vapour Pink iirc) Takes my Gazelle collection to 97 pairs, I don't touch the OG ones either so they're all Mark 2 Gazelles, I don't like the writing placement or fit in the OGs. I have every pair in this vid except the greeny/yellow ones, which I will get at some point, just a case of keeping an eye on prices and jumping in when they're lowest, it's a damn expensive hobby lol. I'm not sure why I even started collecting them, I only owned 2 pairs of trainers before I did and I rarely wore either. Once it gets you hooked though you're done for, I spend ages trawling the net looking for rare/unusual colours. How often have I worn the 97? Most of them, once, maybe twice. I wear the black, blue, white, red and grey quite often though so they need replacing every 3 years or so. They're remarkably resilient for the non-collector, I've got a Royal Blue pair coming on for 6 years old, and they still look smart with barely any sole wear or deformation, they just don't look collection worthy anymore but perfectly wearable for anyone else. I'm from England, and these were the training shoe of choice for casuals (or Trim Trabbs, Beckenbauer, Jeans, Munich, Tobacco, La's etc) in the early 80s, when I was growing up so I've always loved the smart yet simple design of them.

[@Matt5482]

I'm going to have to return both black and blue pairs bc they squeak so much, I hate having to this bc I really Ike them but it's so loud and noticeable

[@madsmvig2959]

I know there's a few differences, but can someone tell me the big differences between the superstars, gazelles and campus'? And which model do you recommend?

[@richardstevens8839]

The Gazelle sole is only 3.4mm thick and once it’s worn through that’s it - constant use you’ll be lucky with 4-5 months

You need to use special spray to make it water resistant but it would never be water proof - dip your toe in a puddle and find out

[@shlinky6527]

Does anyone know why the beige/grey gazelles have little holes? Is it still suede?

[@WeskerXM96E1]

I think people are really sleeping on the Adidas Skateboarding trainers as they do some superb Adidas, as i have just the other week picked up some Denis BUSINITZ VULC ADV in a beautiful all burgundy colour (including the stripes) and a little black on the heel, they also come with two different colours of laces either the burgundy or black (i kept it all burgundy personally) but it was nice to have the choice. Now obviously these are really made for skateboarding in and are a lot more heavy duty than the Gazelle, but i tell you i am big into Adidas but instead of just keeping on buying Originals i'm sticking with the skate stuff as i don't know anyone of my friends with a pair, plus having BUSINITZ written instead of Gazelle or whatever just looks cool as imo.

Too small I find, I get 0.5 size larger than usual. Ie I'm a 10, but I get a 10.5, sometimes an 11 if that's all there is. Never a 10, they're too tight.

I purchased a pair of Gazelles off Amazon, and now I'm a bit worried. They are orange and white, but the tongue is blue, it has "Adidas" and "Gazelle" in gold on the side, and no logo on the heel. Have I been an idiot and purchased a fake pair?

[@pittibarlin8692]

No. They're the OG Gazelles, the ones in this video are the second generation style. Yours are 100% legit I'd say. There's a third style of Gazelle that have the tongue you have, but the same writing as the ones in this video, kinda a mix of both OG and second gen. They're known as the the Gazelle 2s. (so it's OG, second gens and 2s)

Anyone know were I can get the bulkier gazelle 2 from like 2010-15 ish the new one on adidas is way too pointy pls

[@pittibarlin8692]

Amazon, search Gazelle 2 and you'll spot them, easy way to spot the difference at a glance is look at the tongue, they have square cotton Adidas logos stitched on whereas the ones in this video are longer, all white with a printed logo. Makes it easier when searching, and the OG Gazelles have the writing straight rather than parallel to the first stripe.
