"The "Diamond in the Rough" Gazelle Indoor captures that spirit by featuring a navy ripstop upper that can be torn away to reveal the powder blue suede under. A "start here" heel tag and permanent pull tab accent the back of the shoe for an additional touch. The branding on the touge is finished with lenticular printing that shimmers like diamonds. Limited to just 800 pairs, each pair is individually stitched with a number on the inner lining."
""City Jeans has always been about more than sneakers. We exist for our community and for the people who inspire us every day," said Ben Winrauke, COO of City Jeans. "Partnering with adidas on this release allows us to tell a story that reflects the Bronx itself: tough on the surface, yet filled with creativity, resilience, and diamonds that shine. I would know, I've lived here all my life," added Eric Canals, Head Buyer of City Jeans."
adidas partnered with Bronx retailer City Jeans on the Gazelle Indoor "Diamond in the Rough," which uses a navy ripstop upper that can be torn away to reveal powder blue suede beneath. The shoe includes a "start here" heel tag, a permanent pull tab, and lenticular-printed branding on the tongue that shimmers like diamonds. The release is limited to 800 individually numbered and stitched pairs. City Jeans, established in 1993 by Hai Winrauke, operates eight Bronx stores and one in Queens and emphasizes hiring locally and supporting school programs. The collaboration is expected to drop exclusively at City Jeans for $130 USD.
