The adidas Gazelle first broke out in 1968 and has been making leaps and bounds every decade since. The Gazelle features a top quality suede upper moving from its ‘T-toe’ shell right around to its rear. The textured heel and outsole are unmistakably adidas Gazelle, and we can’t forget the white three stripes, featured on the Gazelles in leather with patterned edges.

In contrast we have the adidas Samba OG and adidas Handball Spezial. The former is was created for football and loved by players and supporters alike ever since, and the latter was the leading shoe choice for handball players when it was released in 1979. It doesn’t get more iconic than this.

The adidas Samba OG comprises of a soft leather upper which is perfect for moulding to one’s foot, providing unmatched comfort when on the field. Its suede cuttings featured at the toe are another recall to comfort experienced in a pair of these.

The adidas Handball Spezial offers a different texture to the former two shoes discussed, featuring a full suede upper to provide maximum comfort but the best styling. There’s no wonder this was the shoe of choice for handball, with their light soles and upper, players can wizz across the court in no time.
