Adidas Gazelle Clot Halo Ivory

Designed by Edison Chen and released on 14 June 2024 as part of adidas's Gazelle line. This release has a textile upper in Halo Ivory/Cloud White/Blue Bird. The Gazelle survives because it has almost no features: suede, a low collar, a thin sole and the Three Stripes down the quarter. That plainness is why it keeps getting handed to collaborators, and CLOT's take goes at it through colour and material rather than by reshaping anything. Halo Ivory is a pale, warm off white, the hardest possible colour to wear on suede and the one that shows the quality of the material most clearly. There is nowhere to hide on an ivory Gazelle: every seam, every dye variation and every scuff is on display. That is the point of choosing it over a black or navy pair.
