# Espadrille-Like Lifestyle Sneakers adidas Introduces a Textural Pair of a CLOT Gazelle Shoe By Amy Duong | Published 2024-08-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-gazelle References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/clot-adidas-gazelle-woven-2024/) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/theadidasconnection/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=549cb7be-e65c-4144-93f7-2af506f24d40)  [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-sneaker) continues to work alongside [CLOT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-and-adidas) as the two present a special variation of the CLOT [Gazelle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-gazelle-3) sneaker model. Taking the signature model as a canvas, it is highlighted by its textural design throughout the shoe, representing an espadrille theme. The shoes are expertly woven to create the design, using a traditional espadrille stitching machine and it is attached to other fabric including suede and textiles along the upper. It all rests on top of a molded outsole unit to round out CLOT's take on the Gazelle silhouette. The bottom has a roped style which is supported by a thick rubber sole to make it more durable than other espadrilles. The sandy colorway is contracted by azure shades and has embroidered beading.
