# Collaborative Textual Patchwork Sneakers atmos Japan and adidas Join on the New Gazelle 85 Shoe By Amy Duong | Published 2024-04-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-85 References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/atmos-adidas-gazelle-sneaker-2024/)  atmos works in collaboration with [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-bold) to bring forth another silhouette for the season in the form of the Gazelle 85 sneaker model. The Gazelle series has gone through a plethora of alterations and updates over the years and the latest variation defines itself by its textural contrast. Throughout the upper, the shoes are applied with [fuzzy suede](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hamburg-sneaker-1), matte nubuck for a soft feel, distressed leather, and so forth. All of these details and more are separated by [exposed stitching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sashiko-gals) over the upper to embody a true patchwork design language. The new shoes are dubbed 'Tsugihagi,' which is a Japanese term that references the art of connecting fabrics together, otherwise known as patchwork. Branding can be seen subtly on the side and over the tongue.
