Adidas Gazelle x Neighborhood 9th July 2006

July 9th, 2006

Today is the final of the 2006 Football World Cup in Berlin, between France and Italy. To celebrate this event, Adidas teamed up with Neighborhood, a japanese fashion brand. Neighborhood designed 2 pairs of Adidas Gazelles: a black one, the home version (only sold in Japan) and a white version, the away version.
The white Gazelle is limited to 300 pairs and only sold in 8 stores worldwide. And today they were released at the Adidas Originals Store in Berlin at 2 PM. So I went there around 1.30 PM and there was already a queue building with 15 people, this was my first queue ever for a pair of sneakers. I managed to get in with the first batch of people and got myself the last pair in size US 8.5 … hey great that’s my size.
This pair is definitely one of the best Adidas I have seen in a while. Here some pictures, sorry for the bad quality … I’m in a rush.
