If there is one shoe company to buy stock in this season it’s most certainly Adidas. Thanks to their classic Samba and Gazelle styles making a huge comeback in a nod to all things 90’s, Adidas has become the ‘IT’ brand as of late. However, these shoes are not cheap, with some custom colors and styles running high into the hundreds. In today’s post I’m showing you all the best Adidas dupes right now , and alternatives to these popular styles.
Where to Shop for Adidas Lookalikes?

Where to Find the Cheapest Adidas Sambas and Gazelles?
Adidas seems to have somewhat knocked off their own line of shoes, and have an affordable line of styles very much like the original Sambas and Gazelles. You can get these at many retailers for about 30% less than what they charge for the OG models.
Here are links to some of the best places to buy these Adidas styles:
Why are Adidas Sambas and Gazelles sold out everywhere?
As I said above, these are THE shoe of the season. They have become super popular to wear dressed up or down, and therefore have been in high demand. The limited edition color ways are even more in demand on resale sites like StockX and GOAT.
Do Adidas Sneakers Run Big or Small?
From my experience I’ve found that Adidas actually run a half size large. I always size down 1/2 size in my Adidas shoes to ensure the most accurate fit. If you are between sizes I would possibly go down a full size.
