adidas Gazelle It’s hard not to notice the recent grind that adidas Originals has been on. Collaborations with the likes of Jeremy Scott and Kazuki Kuraishi have received much attention as of late, but their in-house work has impressed as well. Point being the adidas Originals Gazelle II, a clean take on a classic by the Originals team. White nubuck sets the stage for black patent branding and gold lettering. The tongue, laces, lining, and heel tab are also dressed in white but a hue that contrasts that of the nubuck upper. This fresh take on a true original can be purchased now at JD Sports.
