Tapping into the growing wave of ’90s nostalgia, the adidas Gazelle has become a staple once again—seen in collaborations with designers like Gerrit Jacob and Sean Wotherspoon. Add A-list fans such as Brad Pitt and BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Lisa, and it’s clear the Gazelle is as relevant as ever.
First introduced in 1966 as a training shoe, the Gazelle was later reimagined as an indoor handball sneaker. Its predecessor, the early-1960s “Olympiade” model, laid the foundation for its success. The Gazelle also made history as the first adidas shoe crafted in suede instead of canvas or leather.
By the 1990s, the Gazelle had taken the streets by storm, becoming a retro fashion favorite worn by rock stars, supermodels, and Britpop icons like Oasis. It even appeared in music videos and films, cementing its place as a true cultural classic. Its legacy didn’t stop there. To this day, the Gazelle continues to be reimagined by luxury houses, streetwear brands, and artists, each adding their own twist to the timeless silhouette.
In this list, we’re ranking the must-have adidas Gazelle collaborations—from enduring classics to bold, experimental designs.
