FAQs

What does 'Gazelle Indoor' mean?

The 'Gazelle Indoor' refers to the original design's roots as an indoor training shoe from the 1970s. While it retains its iconic design, it is now primarily a lifestyle and fashion sneaker.

How do I clean the velvet material?

For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (like a velvet brush) to gently brush the velvet in one direction. For stains, use a clean, slightly damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap, blotting gently. Always air dry.

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Gazelle Indoor features a 'regular fit', which generally means they fit true to standard adidas sizing. It's recommended to select your usual sneaker size.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain or snow?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain or snow. The velvet material is delicate and can be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry conditions.

What is the sole made of?

The shoe features a durable rubber outsole with a translucent gum finish, providing reliable traction and contributing to its classic retro aesthetic.

Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?

Yes, these adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Velvet looks matted or dirty

Gently brush the velvet in a single direction using a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated velvet brush to restore its nap. For minor dirt, gently wipe with a lightly damp, clean cloth and allow to air dry.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. The 'regular fit' is designed for comfort, but new shoes may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them with thin socks initially. If discomfort persists, check lacing for proper tension.

Sole is slippery on certain surfaces

The translucent gum sole provides good grip for general wear. However, like all soles, its performance can vary on very wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Color appears faded over time

Protect the shoes from prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause color fading, especially in textile materials like velvet. Store them in a cool, dark place when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive Vintage Style: The 70s-inspired design combined with the unique velvet material offers a truly stand-out and fashionable aesthetic.
  • Unique Texture and Look: The pink velvet upper provides a luxurious and eye-catching appearance that sets it apart from traditional sneakers.
  • Comfortable for Daily Wear: Features like the textile lining and regular fit ensure comfort for extended periods.
  • Authentic Heritage Branding: Classic Gazelle lettering and 3-stripes maintain the shoe's iconic status.
  • Includes Recycled Materials: Contributes to sustainability efforts by incorporating recycled content.

Cons

  • Velvet Material Requires Specific Care: The velvet upper is delicate and may be prone to showing dirt or matting if not maintained properly.
  • Primarily a Fashion Sneaker: While durable, its design is optimized for casual wear and style, not high-performance sports.
  • Color/Material Versatility: The specific pink velvet material might limit its versatility with certain outfits compared to more neutral options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Getting started with your adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes is simple:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure the laces are comfortably tied to your preference for a secure, yet not overly tight, fit.
  3. Initial Wear: Wear them around the house for a short period to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile in terms of style compatibility:

  • Casual Apparel: Excellent with jeans, chinos, joggers, and shorts.
  • Streetwear: A perfect match for hoodies, graphic tees, and bomber jackets.
  • Sporty Chic: Can be dressed up with midi skirts, dresses, or tailored casual trousers for a contemporary look.
  • Seasonal Adaptability: Best suited for spring, summer, and early autumn wear, or indoor use during colder months, to protect the velvet.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the unique velvet and suede materials:

  1. Regular Cleaning: For light dust or debris, gently brush the velvet in one direction with a soft-bristled brush (like a velvet brush or soft toothbrush).
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a clean, damp cloth (not wet) with a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Gently blot the stain, being careful not to rub vigorously, which can damage the nap of the velvet.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for velvet and suede materials before first wear, and reapply periodically.
  5. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and compression, which can flatten the velvet nap.
