Історія моди
Introduced in 1966, the Gazelle was the first Adidas shoe constructed from suede, providing a lighter alternative to traditional leather trainers. Originally designed for indoor sports and track training, it gained significant cultural traction during the 1980s among European football fans. By the 1990s, the model became a staple of the Britpop music scene and global hip-hop fashion. Its longevity in fashion history stems from its functional design and consistent adoption by diverse youth subcultures.
