Sean Wotherspoon unveils a new Hemp version of the classic adidas Gazelle sneaker model online on Instagram earlier. This would not be the first time that the sportswear giant has added a hemp iteration of the classic model as it was seen in 2010 in an eco-friendly pack.
It is detailed with a green base foundation throughout the upper that is then covered all over with intricate linework that continues with a white tongue to match the shoe's forefoot and the Three Stripes branding on the side of the shoe. A 'hemp' stitched tag is seen on the lateral side of the shoe while the heel is detailed with a pop of orange complete with Wotherspoon's branding and it all sits on top of a gum-themed outsole.
