Gazelles are a little more norm-casual looking. The guy appears stylish but isn't trying too hard

Sambas are the opposite of a Rolex. You WILL look cool af wearing them. But in a very immature way. Sambas are literally shoes that many children wear for youth indoor soccer. People will see them and automatically associate them with their own childhood. Which can be either good or not so good, depending on the look you're going for

>> No.13986224

>>13986216
I own both Sambas(white) and Gazelle. I don't think they really have a different vibe surrounding them. Admittedly Gazelles are much more popular among normies but then again both are just normal retro Adidas sneakers.

>> No.13986244

>>13986224
I disagree

Gazelles could be Campuses could be generic Adidas suedes from a department store could be Chuck Taylors

But the Samba is legendary. Immediately recognized. Even people who are not into fashion or shoes will be like "hey are those Sambas?" But sometimes that's not the right piece for your outfit

The basic look is the same. Yeah. But I've seen multicolored Sambas, Samba Millenniums, Top Salas and all kinds of derivatives on feet

The classic Samba is subconscious. The classic Samba is subliminal. People see them and don't understand why these plain black sneakers are so cool. But somehow they just are. They're literally wearable nostalgia. Which is much different than "wow shoes from the 80s"

Sorry, which two shoes? The Gazelle and the Samba?
Well Gazelle is made of suede while the Samba is (bad) leather. So in general I'd say the first feels nicer until it gets dirty whereas the 2nd one might feel kinda cheap at first but will become better over time.
>Superstart/Stan Smith
Don't rate them. Wouldn't want to be seen in them.

Don't know, never had a pair, but I'm pretty sure they are just mixtures between Gazelle and Sambas mainly.

These are like wearing two Rolex watches at once. If it's part of your look, then cool. But 99% of the time, a Rolex can stand on its own. Extra is overkill. The black Samba is a rich enough statement. Unless your "different color" Sambas were painted by Michaelangelo, it's safer to go standard. Otherwise, you better have a good reason for basically saying "I'm too cool for these already cool shoes"
