The Adidas Gazelle — a retro suede terrace icon adored by Canadians — at the best sale prices online. All variants from $79 CAD.
The Adidas Gazelle was originally designed as a training shoe in 1968, aimed at athletes who needed a versatile, affordable option for multi-sport use. Its clean suede upper, T-toe overlay, and distinctive branding made it an instant success. But it was in the terraces of British football stadiums through the 1970s and 80s that the Gazelle found its true cultural home — and that terrace heritage translated powerfully to Canadian sneaker culture.
In recent years, the Gazelle has experienced a massive global revival. The Gazelle Indoor variant (inspired by the flat-soled indoor court shoes of the 1980s) became one of the most-searched sneakers in Canada in 2024 and 2025. The classic Gazelle's suede construction, low profile, and range of colourways — particularly the rich earth tones and rich blues that complement Canadian fashion — make it one of the most photographed shoes on Canadian streets right now.
The Adidas Gazelle on sale in Canada starts at $79 CAD — an exceptional price for a genuine suede sneaker with this level of cultural currency. Sizes sell fast when Gazelle restocks at these prices.
The Gazelle family includes several distinct variants: the standard Gazelle with its traditional outsole, the Gazelle Indoor with a flat gum sole, the Gazelle Bold with a platform lift, and the archival Gazelle OG built to original 1968 specifications. Each offers a slightly different expression of the same core silhouette.
The Gazelle's earthy suede tones and vintage profile make it one of the easier Adidas shoes to style. Here are the most popular ways Canadians are wearing it:
