Adidas Samba vs Gazelle — what is the difference?

When comparing the Adidas Samba and Gazelle styles in our wholesale catalog, the main differences come down to silhouette and design details. The Samba features a more streamlined, low-profile shape with a distinctive gum rubber toe cap and a slightly narrower fit, making it a classic choice for casual athletic footwear. The Gazelle, on the other hand, has a softer, rounder toe box and a suede-heavy upper, giving it a bulkier, more retro look. In terms of construction, the Samba typically includes a leather upper with its signature T-toe overlay, while the Gazelle uses a combination of suede and leather for a more textured finish.

For wholesale buyers, both are available under our Adidas collection, which currently lists 112 styles. You can mix Samba and Gazelle models in a single order to reach your MOQ, and sizes run from EU 36 to EU 48 depending on the style. If you need a specific colorway or material variation, our supplier catalog can be filtered using the search-by-image tool on the site.
