Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals Gazelle Bold trainers are designed for fashion-conscious adults who appreciate a modern twist on heritage athletic style. They offer the key benefit of enhanced height and a contemporary silhouette through a unique platform sole, balanced by a comfortable, classic leather upper. One notable caveat is that the platform design may feel slightly firmer and heavier than traditional flat-soled trainers, so they are best suited for casual daily wear rather than high-intensity sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather protector spray or conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and water-resistant.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue color to fade over time.
- Fit: The Gazelle Bold generally fits true to size for adult feet; utilize the lace-up system to adjust tension across the bridge of the foot if extra security is needed.
