Denmark-based sneaker lover Sally Javadi, better known as Sally Sneakers, has linked with sneaker illustrator and customizer Greg Stuff on a couldn’t-be-cuter pair of Adidas Gazelle sneakers. Adorned with dusty pink faux fur, the retro soccer sneakers’ hot pink stripes poke out through the fur while the tongue and heel tab are forrest green with a gum rubber outsole. The shoe’s heel tab is adorned with Adidas’ Trefoil along with Greg Stuff’s logo.
The seeds for the shoe were planted by Greg Stuff, who uploaded a pair of Gazelle sneakers customized with bright blue fur on his Instagram feed. He and Sally Sneakers followed up with a mock up of the Gazelle customized with four different-colored furs with pink ultimately winning the day.
Alas, customizing the shoe is an arduous proccess (each pair must be taken apart and then put back together in order to put the fur on properly) and only eight pairs will be made. Once the order is placed, the shoe will take approximately four-six weeks to produce.
Priced at 395 euros (approximately $440), there will a raffle held on Instagram for the eight pairs, starting December 22, 2023 and ending on December 23rd. To be included in the raffle, follow @sallysneakers and @gregstuff and drop a comment letting them know you’d like to be considered for a pair.
