Update: Shortly after teasing his final A.B. Gazelle Indoor collaboration with adidas by way of a bespoke soccer boot, Blondey has announced a release date for the co-created design. Dubbed the “A.B. Gemini,” it’s set to release via the THAMES MMXX webstore on April 21 at 11 BST, and current subscribers to the brand’s email list will have a chance to pre-order the sneaker before release. It’ll then touch down on the adidas webstore a day later on April 22, and the MSRP is set at $110 USD.

McCoy has stated more than once that this is his final A.B. Gazelle Indoor collaboration, so his next collaborative effort with the Three Stripes is likely to be revealed soon as well. Stay tuned for more info as it’s made available, and read the original article below to get more context on the “Gemini.”


Original Article: After introducing the adidas A.B. Gazelle Indoor sneaker last year in a black tonal colorway, Blondey McCoy now teases the adidas Skateboarding silhouette in a new colorway. Pictured above is a pair of custom cleats integrating the uppers of the upcoming sneaker.

“Mine might be the last generation of skateboarders to whom football felt off-limits,” writes Blondey. “And when I say off-limits, I mean like the polar opposite, along with just about everything else deemed properly popular. It seemed to me that if you skated, that was all you did. That and make art, maybe. Anyway, this, I suppose, is why I think skaters wearing the type of gear that typically belongs to the masses can be, ironically, so interesting. Empowering even.”

The actual release is expected to arrive in a similar colorway of black, white, and green with striped laces and gold “BLONDEY” branding along the lateral stripes. The bottoms, however, will feature treaded rubber soles designed for both football and skateboarding. Blondey reveals what inspired him to create a shoe for both the field and asphalt in the caption.

“This position of mine is evidenced in my career at adidas, and indeed by the very fact that it’s adidas I sought a career with — as opposed to, say, Vans,” he continues. “First, we made basketball shoes together. Then came indoor football shoes. And it’s the imminent release of the third and final official version of these that’s prompted this post.”

Take a closer look at the one-off customs above and expect more details on the new Blondey x adidas A.B. Gazelle Indoor collaboration to arrive in the coming weeks. More information on the original Gazelle collab can be found here.
