The world of sneakers is unpredictable, to say the least. One moment, the Sambas are ruling the scene, and the next, they’ve gracefully stepped aside for a fresh contender – the Adidas Gazelle. With its resurgence in popularity, the sleek and smooth suede lace-up from the ’60s is catching everyone’s eye thanks to collaborations and beautiful customised designs. A standout among the latter has to be the fluffy Faux Fur Adidas Gazelle sneakers, brought to life by Greg’s Stuff (@gregstufff) and Sally Javadi (@sallyssneakers.)
A Closer Look at the Sneaker Design
Frankly, if you thought the suede Gazelle was chic, just wait until you get a glimpse of it enveloped in soft, fluffy faux fur. This delightful texture breathes a playful, cosy vibe into the classic design, transforming it into something irresistibly stylish. You’ll likely ask why we haven’t seen more faux fur Gazelle sneakers before.
It’s worth noting that this, of course, is not the first furry venture for an adidas silhouette. Think back to the adidas Superstar “Concha” collection, the Rivalry Hi “Chewbacca,” and the “Sully” Stan Smith, to name but a few. However, faux fur Gazelles have been a rarity—if they’ve ever existed at all.
As such, these plush Gazelle sneakers already set themselves apart with their luxurious materials, but their stunning “Arctic Milk” and “Dusty Pink” colour schemes are just as captivating.
The White and Blue Pair
The “Arctic Milk” pair beautifully combines blue leather with off-white faux fur. The sneaker’s tongue and laces are a rich blue that mirrors the colour of an Adidas shoe box, while the pale blue stripes on the sides add a subtle yet dreamy touch, emerging from the plush off-white fur. A gum rubber sole unit completes the look, delivering that perfect retro vibe.
The Pink And Green Pair
Meanwhile, the “Dusty Pink” pair showcases a striking mix of dark green and hot pink leather with light pink faux fur, bringing a fresh, feminine spin to the classic design. The dark green leather forms the base, while the light pink faux fur envelops most of the upper, save for the tongue and collar. From there, the iconic Three Stripes in hot pink makes a bold statement, and the look is rounded off with a gum rubber sole and white laces.
In all honesty, these sneakers might just be the most charming customs of 2024. Their fluffy exteriors and unique colour schemes certainly grab our attention. The real question is, do they come in my size, please?
How to Grab a Pair
Sadly, these sneakers were part of a very limited release due to their complex and costly production process. Nevertheless, we recommend keeping an eye on Greg, and Sally’s social pages for any potential restocks or even new colourways that might drop in the future.
They have teased some additional colour combos, though whether these will make it to production remains uncertain. Either way, staying updated on their social media is wise for any upcoming releases they have planned.
