Help me!! Trying to Build a Collection of Gazelle OG's

photoshop · 23 Apr 2017 at 14:14

Dont know if this is the right forum or not so apologies if im posting in the wrong section.

Ok so let me explain...

Im trying to build a collection of the classic Adidas Gazelle OG trainer which has now been discontinued for teh bulkier and uglier "Gazelle 2" which i hate.

Now I relaise Adidas has been making the classic Gazelle OG trainer for decades but i was sadly unaware of this and i only come to realise as it was being discontinued :/

Im trying to source as many colourways as i can in a bid to try to build a collection.

The ones i have managed to find so far are these:

Red

Zest Green

Yellow (Perforated)

Legend Green

Grey

Green/Black

Forest Green

Petrol Blue & Green

Black

Navy

Air Force Blue

Now im a size UK7.5

My plea is if anyone knows of any outlets or stores which currently still have any deadstock of the OG's please let me know. I've looked and can not find anywhere that stocks any at a size 7.5.

They come up now and then on eBay but generally in used and not teh best condition.

So, if you come across any colourways which are different to the above please let me know.

(Deperatly looking for the Orange & Burgandy colourways)

Cheers

Size 7.5, Are you a girl?

No lol. Im normally a 7.0 but i find Adidas to be a little shorter than other makes so i have to size half a size up

There's a member on here called G1mp or something along those lines. I seem to remember him being obsessed with Adidas trainers so will probably be the guy to ask.

Lets hope he sees this thread. Cheers

I have 3 pairs of gazelles which I bought about 10 years ago and absolutely love them. I haven't bought many new trainers since. I have black and 2 variations of the blue ones.

I wouldn't mind updating my collection but I'm a size 10 (real man )

3 pairs late you 10 years!!! Wow!
My trainers normally last me 6 months before they need throwing out.

Easy with the feet now... My mum has size 2 get so that's where i get it from

It was discontinued when the Gazelle 2 was released. It's just dead stock of the OG's that's floating about now

The Gazelle 2 has been produced since the 70s. I think you might be labouring under a misapprehension here....

No, what i meant was that the Gazelle 2 is the reissue of the classic OG but even then the new issue is a modernised version of the Gazelle 2.

Even on the Adidas website the Gazelle OG has been retired.

Used these guys quite a lot. Never had a problem. They seem to have a couple of colours at the bottom of the page.

Ye i looked at them- they dont have any in a 7.5

I'm flying over this weekend so I'll take a peek in JD etc. I'm a 7.5 too and find those places have odd sizes left due to the customer base. Think I even bought a pair of Gazelles from there a year or so ago.

Sound!
Let me know how you get on mate. The JD in my town dont stock the OG's
