The hunger for sneakers with barely-there soles took the world by storm in 2025. And believe it or not, less is still more.

The adidas Gazelle Lo Pro Aurora Coffee is proof, making the already versatile Gazelle into a true does-everything shoe.

Since the Gazelle’s original release in 1966, the style has seen several structural adaptations, like the modern Gazelle Indoor, to prove the silhouette’s ability to move with the times. One of the most recent evolutions of the style sees the design downsized.

With a half-height sole, the Gazelle Lo Pro aligns with one of the biggest movements in sneaker culture in recent memory: the desire to take things back to understated basics with super-slim sole units.

Fear not. The latest Aurora Coffee colorway retains all the callsigns of the iconic style — three stripes, layered toe box, and gold-foil branding to the heel — while the brown suede upper brings an elegant final touch.

It's a subtle update of the shoe for a new generation that modernizes but preserves the much-loved adidas classic's core DNA.

Though now at its slenderest, this Espresso-hued Gazelle sure doesn't taste flat.
