FAQs
What makes the Gazelle Bold different from the original Gazelle?
The primary difference is the platform sole, which is significantly thicker and features a layered gum rubber design, providing added height and a distinct aesthetic compared to the original, flatter sole.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gazelle Bold trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle use. They do not offer the specific support or cushioning required for running or athletic activities.
How do I clean the True Pink suede material?
Use a suede brush for routine cleaning. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and allowing the shoes to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What does the 'Bold' in the name refer to?
The 'Bold' designation refers to the exaggerated platform sole, which gives the shoe a more prominent and fashion-forward appearance compared to the classic Gazelle silhouette.
What is the color inspiration for this model?
The colorway is inspired by a watermelon, featuring a vibrant True Pink base with green accents on the stripes and heel tab.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as moisture can damage the material and cause discoloration. It's best to protect them from rain and puddles.
What are the three layers on the gum outsole?
The gum rubber platform sole is constructed with three distinct layers, each subtly embossed with 'adidas' and a trefoil logo, creating a gradient effect in the gum color.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner according to the product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Gum sole has scuff marks.
Gently rub scuff marks with a clean eraser or a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a non-gel toothpaste can sometimes be effective when applied sparingly and wiped clean.
Shoe shape is lost or distorted.
Ensure proper storage when not in use. Use shoe trees or stuff the shoes with paper to help maintain their form.
