# Reinterpreted Retro Shoes adidas' New Gazelle Shoe Will Match Any Outfit By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-08-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-shoe References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/8/adidas-originals-gazelle-core-black) & [kicksonfire](http://www.kicksonfire.com/adidas-gazelle-core-black/) The Adidas [Gazelle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-sneaker) silhouette has been a staple of the brand's since 1968 and the newest interpretation of this retro shoe makes it even more classic. The low-top shoes' new designs are inspired by 90s styles and the 'Core Black' will be released soon as the newest addition to the collection. The shoe is exactly as described in its name as it is made up of only black materials -- from its sole, to its upper to its laces. The only colored part of the retro shoe is its name 'Gazelle,' which is subtly etched into the side in a golden color. These shoes are both classic and modern and their all-black color would suit a large variety of styles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Classic Modernization:** There is an opportunity to reinterpret retro designs with a modern twist, appealing to both nostalgia and contemporary fashion tastes. - **Minimalist Aesthetics:** There is space in the market for sleek, all-black designs that offer a versatile and timeless option for consumers. - **Indulging in Nostalgia:** Retro-inspired designs can tap into consumers' desire for nostalgic elements while offering a fresh take on familiar styles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore the potential for reinterpreting retro designs to meet the demand for both classic and contemporary styles. - **Footwear:** Footwear companies can embrace minimalist aesthetics by offering sleek, all-black options in their collections. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can tap into consumers' nostalgia by featuring retro-inspired designs in their campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Sleek Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-sneaker.md) - [Dynamic Print-Centric Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metalwood.md) - [Weatherized Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-gazelle.md) - [Hybrid Laced Sneaker Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-gazelle.md) - [Iconic Shoe Colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sl-72-og-shoes.md) - [Espadrille-Like Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-gazelle.md) - [Slender Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sl-72-shoes.md) - [Stacked Base Lifestyle Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gazelle-bold-sneaker.md) - [Chunky Collaborative Fashionable Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-y3.md)
