The adidas Italy Collection: Gazelle Indoor 'Italy'

Italy's football identity has always been tied to a deep azzurri blue, and adidas captured it in a World Cup edition of one of its most understated terrace shoes: the Gazelle Indoor. This is a clean, navy-forward sneaker that reads as heritage rather than team merchandise — the kind of pair you can wear every day without it shouting. Here's the full rundown. For the wider release, see the adidas World Cup collection guide.

Gazelle Indoor World Cup 'Italy'

The Gazelle Indoor World Cup Italy brings the indoor-sport version of the Gazelle into everyday wear. The silhouette traces back to the indoor Gazelle introduced in the 1970s and remains one of the slimmer, lower-profile shoes in the terrace line. This edition arrives in a rich navy finish on a premium suede upper, with the low indoor sole profile and Originals branding that define the model.

What makes the Gazelle Indoor different?

Compared with a Samba, the Gazelle Indoor sits lower and sleeker, with a softer suede upper and a cleaner, less sport-focused look. The gum-style outsole keeps the indoor heritage aesthetic while giving you everyday traction. It's the pair to reach for when you want terrace credibility in a quiet, versatile package — navy goes with nearly everything.

Do they run true to size?

The Gazelle Indoor runs on the narrow, sleek side. Most people can stay true to size, but if you're between sizes or have wider feet, consider sizing up. If you also wear the roomier terrace models, our Handball Spezial sizing guide is a useful point of comparison for how these silhouettes fit relative to one another.

How to style the navy Gazelle Indoor

Navy suede is one of the easiest sneakers to dress. It works with jeans, tailored trousers, and relaxed streetwear alike, and slides naturally into fall layering — think raw denim, olive chinos, or grey flannel. Because the color is restrained, you can lean into texture elsewhere (knitwear, corduroy) without the outfit feeling busy. It's a refined, wearable take on classic adidas design.

Part of the World Cup release

The Italy Gazelle is one country in a broader adidas World Cup run that also includes Argentina, Spain, Colombia, and Mexico editions across the Samba, Spezial, and Gazelle silhouettes. If green and white is more your palette, the adidas Mexico collection covers that side of the same release.
