I purchased a pair of these Pink Gazelle 85s during the recent sale (27th September, 2025) and received what I can only describe as a defective, possibly used, or fake product. The shoe box was severely damaged, one shoe had visible suede damage and fading, and the other was dirty. Even the zip tie (the authenticity marker) on the shoes was broken. If these shoes weren’t used, then their condition seriously raises questions about Adidas' quality control—or worse, their authenticity. It’s extremely concerning that Adidas appears to be pushing returned or damaged goods as new, especially during sales. To make matters worse, the company refuses to allow exchanges or returns, essentially trapping customers with subpar items. I’m still waiting for a resolution, but based on this experience, I strongly advise others: do not buy from Adidas, especially sale items.

Quick to break in and keeps comfort over time—ideal for all-day wear without any discomfort.
