Juventus FC x adidas Gazelle Terrace
Buy at adidas
adidas is preparing to launch its latest Terrace Icons Collection, celebrating elite soccer clubs and paying tribute to the stadium terraces of the 1980s, an era when these shoes gained prominence among match-attending fans. The Gazelle has always been one of the staple sights on the terraces and continues to be one of the most popular silhouettes. The collection will include four pairs, starting with the Juventus FC x adidas Gazelle Terrace.
Since 2015, the German sportswear giant has been the kit and equipment supplier for the Italian soccer behemoths, Juventus FC, with the current 408m deal set to run until 2026-2027. In the past decade, various collaborations have emerged from the partnership, including a ZX 6000 that represented J in the modern A-ZX series. It is not the first time the Gazelle has been the vessel for the club's branding either.

This exclusive design pays homage to Juventus' storied legacy while staying faithful to the Gazelle's classic silhouette. Crafted with a plush legend ink suede upper, white leather serrated Three Stripes, outlined in gold, provide a striking contrast against the deep navy base. The padded synthetic leather tongue embossed with the classic white Trefoil branding is added to the refined construction of the sneaker.
The heel showcases a legend ink leather tab, debossed with the Juventus crest from the 1980s in gold. This crest, a zebra (signifying the club's nickname, Le Zebre) with a bull's tail and wearing a crown, nods to the team's history and what was a golden era for the club. Meanwhile, the insoles feature custom dual-branding graphics, emphasizing the product's origins at adidas' headquarters in Herzogenaurach. Juventus runs parallel to the stripes in gold foil along the sidewall, and the look is completed with the gum-colored rubber outsole, which enhances both durability and comfort.
The Juventus FC x adidas Gazelle Terrace is available now via adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, retail is $110. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.

Craig Bell happily talks about sneakers or as he calls them "trainers" every day of the year. An avid Bradford City fan, he's also a big supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles. He will forever profess that Cricket is better than Baseball and that Rugby League is better then Rugby Union. Among his many hot takes, he believes the adidas ZX range is the pinnacle of sneaker design.
