Why We Love This Deal
The Samba may be Adidas‘ most popular sneaker of all time, but the Gazelle makes a case for being a close second. With a rich heritage dating back to 1966, these sneakers carved out a spot in history, riding waves of cultural popularity, and today, they are still relevant. The big news this week is that this iconic sneaker, which is rarely on sale, just got a markdown on a handful of classic colors.
You can score a pair of old-school Adidas Originals Gazelle Sneakers for $80 right now, a 20% discount off the regular price of $100. Still stylish, comfortable, and versatile, these kicks own a 4.7-star rating after well over 25,00 reviews—impressive.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colors: Over 25, but seven are on sale
- Sizes: 4 to 14
- Materials: Nubuck leather, gum soles
- Fit: ‘91 issue with a slightly wider feel.
This model takes a spin on one of its bestselling eras, the 1991 model, of this legendary shoe, with a reworked sole and offering a slightly larger toe-box for excellent space. Its timeless low-cut design perfectly complements the signature bold, slated Adidas three stripes on the side while equally balancing the all-white gum soles. Topped off with a buttery soft nubuck leather that gets better with each wear, and you get a buttery slick pair of kicks.
With a style choice for everyone, this icon is offered in over 25 colorways in sizes ranging from 4 to 14, though only seven are currently on sale.
I’ve personally owned these sneakers for years now and can attest to the fact that they are holding up just as well as the day I first received them, and I work out in them quite regularly. When I do occasionally wear them out, I pair them with a relaxed athleisure fit, or even denim jeans, and always look my best thanks to their iconic design.

What Shoppers Are Saying
What is there left to say on a shoe that’s been around since the mid-’60s? As one lifelong buyer of this classic put it, they are as good today as they were when they first bought them. “Just like the ones I bought in 1973,” they said, and while they may have used them as running shoes back in the day, today they excel as a lifestyle classic.
With so many choices to choose from, another noted just how versatile they are. “The colorway is fantastic—neutrals that you can still wear with everything, but that get compliments every time,” they wear them.
Don’t sleep on this deal, as sizing is selling out lightning fast. Grab a pair or two of these icons now and thank yourself later—everyone else sure will.
