adidas is bringing the laid-back energy of reggae icon Bob Marley to the classic Gazelle silhouette. By pairing soft textures with specific color references, the design honors Marley’s enduring cultural impact and his well-documented passion for football without relying on overly aggressive branding.
Soft mustard suede dominates the upper, providing a velvety texture that suggests immediate comfort. The signature Three Stripes appear in muted green, framed by fine red borders that add graphical weight to the side profile. Contrasting elements include crisp white laces and a yellow midsole tab, all grounded by an off-white matte outsole that maintains the model’s heritage look.
The details subtly reinforce the connection to the artist. A teal leather heel tab features an embossed patch displaying Bob Marley’s name alongside the phrase “Football Is Freedom,” a nod to his philosophy on the sport. Inside, a rich red sockliner and branded insole continue the color story, completing a design that feels rooted in history rather than hype.
