Kiwi Legends Celebrated on adidas Gazelle 'All Blacks'

When people think of New Zealand, there are three things that come to mind: sheep, Lord of the Rings, and the All Blacks. Not only is the Kiwi rugby team a national treasure, but it is also known as one of the most successful sports teams in history: it is one of two teams to win three World Cups, and they have held the number 1 spot for 80 per cent of the past 20 years. The All Blacks are characterised by their jetblack uniforms and silver-fern frond emblem, which sits alongside the Trefoil logo, as have been fitting out the All Blacks since 1999. With 2024 marking their 25th anniversary, the Three Stripes are celebrating with a sleek black .

The 'All Blacks' Gazelle of course represents their uniforms, with the upper covered in a smooth black suede, complemented by crisp leather on the Three Stripes, tongue and heel. The luxurious vibe continues with metallic silver accents on the Gazelle debossed on the lateral side, along with the adi branding on the tongue and a special reference to the anniversary on the insole. The finishing touch is of course the silver-fern on the heel, and all the silver accents reference the 25th anniversary (silver is the traditional gift for this occasion). The collaborative project will also include an official on-pitch jersey in time for the 2024 Rugby Championship kickoff, matching fan editions, and a suite of lifestyle apparel.

The adidas Gazelle ‘All Blacks’ are available right now, but they’re selling quickly (the US has nearly sold out). Hit the links below to cop and tune in for this year’s championship on August 10.
