Full details

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneaker is for individuals seeking a blend of iconic retro style and everyday comfort. Its key win lies in its versatile design, allowing it to transition seamlessly from casual wear to a distinctive fashion statement. A minor caveat is that while originally designed for indoor training, its suede construction and flat gum sole mean it's best suited for dry, casual use rather than rigorous outdoor activities.

FAQs

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made from high-quality suede leather, sourced through the Leather Working Group, ensuring both a premium feel and responsible sourcing.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

While the Gazelle was originally a '60s training shoe, the Gazelle Indoor is now primarily considered a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It's best suited for casual wear and not recommended for high-performance sports or intense workouts.

How do I maintain the suede material?

To maintain the suede, regularly brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specific suede cleaner. It's advisable to apply a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains, and avoid wearing them in wet weather.

What makes the 'Indoor' version different from other Gazelle models?

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor distinguishes itself with its unique translucent gum rubber outsole that wraps the shoe, directly referencing the original indoor training design. It often features a slightly different silhouette and material composition compared to other Gazelle iterations.

Is the sizing consistent with other Adidas sneakers?

The Gazelle Indoor features a regular fit. Most customers find it to be true to their usual Adidas size. However, for precise fit, consulting the Adidas size chart or trying them on is always recommended.

Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?

Yes, these Gazelle Indoor sneakers are made in part with preferred materials, including suede leather sourced through the Leather Working Group (LWG), which promotes sustainable and appropriate environmental business practices in the leather industry.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes, including the Gazelle Indoor, in heavy rain or extremely wet conditions. Suede can be easily damaged or stained by water. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and treat them with a suede brush once dry.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty after wear.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper grime or stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size; the Gazelle Indoor has a regular fit. If new, allow a brief break-in period for the leather lining to conform to your foot. Adjust lacing for optimal comfort, avoiding excessive tightness.

Gum rubber outsole is losing its grip or looks discolored.

Clean the outsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and oils that can reduce traction. For discoloration, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and a dedicated shoe cleaner may help.

Compatibility

  • Sizing: These sneakers feature a regular fit. Most users find them true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a detailed Adidas size chart for the best fit.
  • Gender: While this specific variant is listed as 'Male', Gazelle models are often considered unisex and can be comfortably worn by anyone.
  • Style: Their classic design makes them highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, from jeans and chinos to skirts and dresses.

Care

  • Cleaning the Suede Upper: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water or harsh detergents directly on suede, as this can damage the material.
  • Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. A soft brush can help with textured areas.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
  • Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Harsh Conditions: Suede is sensitive to excessive moisture and rough abrasion. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or conditions where they might get excessively dirty.
