The internet can be a divisive place, but if there’s one thing we can all agree upon (aside from the fact we need more cute animal vids on our FYPs) it’s that Adidas Gazelle sneakers are the It shoe of 2024.
Gigi Hadid, Jacob Elordi, and even Harry Styles have been spotted rocking the iconic silhouette. In fact, it’s the one and only Mick Jagger who helped turn the indoor soccer shoe into a fashion statement back in the ’70s. Now, the trendy sneakers are making a massive comeback, with almost 100 million posts on TikTok under the Adidas Gazelles hashtag. Many reviewers say the shoe goes beyond just a good-looking silhouette, noting that they can wear them for long periods of time and find them great to walk in. Ultimately, the retro sneaker has minor tweaks between styles.
The Gazelle Indoor differs from the OG Gazelle in that it features a translucent gum sole around the entire unit and a near-impenetrable midsole. The Gazelle 85 features a wider toe box with a thicker midsole, and the Gazelle 91 features a molded tongue. From leather uppers to limited collabs and everything in between, we rounded up the best Adidas Gazelle sneakers to shop right now—whether you’re wearing them to school, work, or a pickleball game.
Gazelle Bold Shoes
This sleek retro shoe brings the classic Adidas Gazelle sneakers to new heights with an impressive triple-stack of rubber on the bottom.

Men’s Original Gazelles
These are exactly the same as the women’s Gazelles, but with even more fun colorways (I’m looking at you Semi Pink Spark / Lucid Blue / Gum). My hot tip, as someone who often loves men’s colorways more, is to size down. For example, a man’s 6 would be a woman’s 7, and so on.

Touted as a deconstructed version of the Gazelles, these tennis shoes are refined and sophisticated.

Gazelle ADV Shoes
While Gazelles were originally designed for indoor soccer, these ADV’s reimagine the retro trainers for the skatepark. Created with skateboarders in mind, these sneakers have “higher foxing tape and a super grippy outsole,” according to the description. The also offer a thicker toe for durability (a must when you’re slamming your foot against the concrete) and a geoflex outsole for added grip. Don’t worry if you’re not a skater, these would be great for people who play handball or pickleball too.
