To celebrate nearly two decades in the New England streetwear scene, Sneaker Junkies has partnered with adidas on a playful yet premium take of the Gazelle, dubbed the “Clam Chowder.”
This regional exclusive ties local food culture to sneaker heritage, delivering one of the most imaginative Gazelle reinterpretations in recent memory.
The design takes inspiration from the iconic New England clam chowder itself. The creamy suede upper mirrors the soup’s signature broth, while grey suede Three Stripes play the role of the clams. Green laces bring in a parsley garnish motif, adding just the right touch of colour without overwhelming the palette.
The insoles feature oyster cracker graphics, while the heel tab dons a cartoon clam illustration, details that make the storytelling impossible to miss.
Sneaker Junkies and adidas have even gone a step further by tying in coastal references. An anchor-shaped hangtag nods to Rhode Island’s nautical lifestyle, grounding the design firmly in New England culture. Each pair is individually numbered out of 800, heightening exclusivity. The Gazelle itself remains unchanged in terms of structure, retaining its low-profile build and timeless suede finish.
