Most adidas Gazelles sell for around £90, but the new adidas Gazelle Indoor ‘Made in Italy’ takes things to a whole new level, retailing at a premium price of £350. While that might seem steep for an adidas sneaker, there’s a good reason behind the higher price tag: it’s all about craftsmanship and quality materials.
This upgraded Gazelle is built on a rich calfskin leather base with suede overlays around the toebox, exuding sophistication. It’s finished with waxed laces for an added touch of refinement. Departing from the classic gum sole that has defined the Gazelle for nearly 60 years, adidas has swapped it out for a sole reminiscent of what you might find on a pair of high end Oxfords. Topping it all off, the sneaker proudly flaunts a “Made in Italy” stamp on the tongue.
When it comes to Italian made shoes, prices can vary widely. Luxury brands like John Lobb typically range from £1,800 to £2,000. By comparison, the Gazelle Indoor ‘Made in Italy’ feels like a relative bargain, especially considering it’s handcrafted with traditional shoemaking techniques.
Unbelievably, these Gazelles aren’t even adidas’ priciest flex this year. Enter the £700 Superstars from their ‘A Type’ collection. These bougie kicks come with pure cashmere laces, silver plated aglets, and even handling gloves. Yes, gloves. For your shoes.
The adidas Gazelle Indoor ‘Made in Italy’ is set to launch this month on adidas’ website, the Confirmed app, and select global retailers. If you’re after premium craftsmanship and your wallet’s feeling generous, the Gazelle “Made in Italy” is a worthy addition to your collection.
