"The Gazelle has been reinterpreted countless times, but never quite like this. Inspired by New England's favorite comfort food, the "Clam Chowder" edition layers its ingredients with a chef's precision. A crisp white upper symbolizes the creamy broth, while the grey Three Stripes stand in for clams. Green laces mimic parsley garnish, and the finishing touch comes in the form of an anchor keychain-a nod to Rhode Island's Ocean State heritage."
"It's a design that manages to be both playful and wearable, balancing regional storytelling with the timeless silhouette of the Gazelle. For locals, it's a wink at tradition. For collectors, it's proof that great design often starts with something as simple as a bowl of chowder. A Legacy Rooted in Community Sneaker Junkies has spent the better part of two decades building more than just a retail footprint."
Sneaker Junkies partnered with adidas to create a 'Clam Chowder' edition of the Gazelle that celebrates New England culture and the retailer's nearly two-decade legacy. The sneaker uses a crisp white upper to symbolize creamy chowder, grey Three Stripes to represent clams, green laces as parsley garnish, and an anchor keychain nodding to Rhode Island heritage. The design balances playful regional storytelling with the classic Gazelle silhouette, offering wearability for locals and collectability for enthusiasts. Sneaker Junkies grew from a single Providence storefront at 251A Weybosset Street to three locations, emphasizing community, culture, and style.
