The adidas brand sets the curve for sports technology and streetwear relevance. In 1924, Adi Dassler founded his first shoe factory in Germany, providing athletic wear to Gold medalists in multiple Olympics. He created his namesake company and registered the now-famous three-stripes shoe design in 1949. Today, adidas shoes and clothing are synonymous with performance and style, with collections available for women, men and kids.
Good looking sneakers! Very comfortable and light. Lighter than I remember them being in the 90s.
I have heels and ankles on the narrower side. I take the lace through the top two holes like I do my running shoes prior to tying them to keep them from being as loose in the heel. Please see the photo.

Non stop squeaking
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tongue is made of some type of cheap foam so it constantly makes a squeak noise with every step

What's with the tongue?
I loved everything about the shoe but then there is the tongue...
It's cheap, feels like cardboard and is strangely long. I thought about cutting it to a normal length but decided that they just really needed to go back. Returned them. Giving it two stars to be nice.

Fits true to size but a little wide in the heel

They were perfect until I undid laces
I loved everything about these shoes EXCEPT the white tongue. The tongue of these shoes feels cheap, like paper thin foam or something. I don't understand why Adidas would ruin such a great shoe with this cheap tongue. They do run large. I normally wear a size 9 and purchased an 8 1/2. I purchased the grey/white/gold combo as the light grey color is very pretty. I saw someone wearing it at the local mall and ordered them online. I would keep these if it weren't for that tongue. I feel that it will not hold up over time. I guess Adidas shoes just don't work for me as I have tried Stan Smith, Allstars, and Gazelle to no avail (the other two models ran odd in sizing and I could not find a size that would not slip off my heels).

these DO run very Large
The sizing on these shoes is insanely confusing. Numerous reviews say to size down, they say they’re unisex sizing so only size down if you’re wanting women sizing, they say the women’s gazelles are true to size, then they say they run small 🤣 the fact is these run MASSIVE. These are women’s shoes, labeled women’s, sold in women’s section. Yet they are not women’s sizing. I am normally a 7.5-8 in all shoes, 38.5 or 39EU. I typically wear a 7 in adidas since they do run big on me. I could really use a 7.25, 7.5 is just too big and slides on my heel. For these they said to size down. Well my normal adidas size is 7, so I went with a 6. A size I NEVER wear in unisex, or men’s and definitely not in women. They fit. They’re snug but I think a 6.5 would be too big. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SIZE CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY?! Isn’t it just based off of measurements? Something that can easily be dialed in. So annoying to try and order shoes online and stores never have any inventory of anything anyone wants.

Beautiful, but good for high arches only.
I absolutely loved the look and feel of these sneakers. They are so cute! What the buyer should be weary of is that they have incredibly high arch support, so if you don't have high arches they are quite uncomfortable.

nice looking
I love the look of these sneakers. However, Nordstrom suggested to go up a half size so I bought a 8 1/2-stupid me didn't try them on before tossing the box out and they are too big. I can't return them now. I would suggest going with your regular size

Could have been a 5 star
So comfortable and the color devine. Great option over bright white. Only reason for 4 stars.... they squeak incessantly. Hoping another week of wear will quiet them down

Pinky
They are super cute and colorful. They are not, however, the most comfortable shoe - especially if you're going to be on your feet for a prolonged period of time. Also, the tongue feels like cardboard and takes a little getting used to. Overall, I am happy with the shoes. The cuteness overrides the lack of comfort (which does not set in until about the sixth hour).

I love my Gazelles!
I purchased the trace blue Gazelle sneakers and I absolutely love them. I ordered on the smaller side as others had said that they run big. I wore them walking around San Francisco for an entire day and they were extremely comfortable. My only complaint (minor) is that the tongue squeaks due to its plastic-type material, it is not fabric or leather.
A great casual sneaker that goes well with jeans.

Great addition for Stan Smith lovers
This is a comfortable shoe that is very versatile and can be worn with almost anything. I loved the color and thought it made the shoe a little bit more feminine. The only reason I didn't give the shoe 5 stars is because the picture/description is not completely accurate. The Gazelle in this color actually has a beige sole, which I didn't like as I thought it clashed with the shoe accents which are white. For those who want a pink Gazelle with a white bottom, the style in Vapor Pink is the one you should be looking to purchase. The shoe does run a little bit big... even bigger than Superstar or Stan Smith. I went a half size down from my usual Stan and Superstar size.

Comfy Shoe. Fits very small!
Very cute shoe but they fit very small. I am typically a size 7 but I had to go down to a 5.5 because they were very big. Other than that, they are comfortable and cute.
