Lightweight adidas kicks have been the sneaker world’s sweetheart for several years now. After Samba fever, we swiftly moved into a state of Gazelle infatuation; in fact, there wasn’t even a distinctive switch, we’re still in the chokehold. But while Sambas and Gazelles make their way into the fashion memesphere, adidas is laying the foundations for our next obsession.
The adidas Gonz Aloha definitely won’t make as much noise as a Wales Bonner or Gucci collaboration, and it may never find itself gracing the illustrious feet of A$AP Rocky or Frank Ocean, but that doesn’t mean it's any less worth a spot in your rotation.
The adidas Gonz Aloha is actually a fencing silhouette that has been modernized through Gonz’s skateboarding-centered lens. It features the gum sole unit that forms the common denominator between most of adidas’ best retro-look sneakers. The latest drop boasts a contrasting Light Orchid upper.
It’s basically a dusty lilac, and it’s getting us stoked for summer fits again. Three black stripes detail the outside of the foot while embroidered Marc Gonzales logos hit the tongue and heel tabs.
If you’ve been thinking about taking your next steps after a crippling obsession with Sambas, and you’re sick of seeing people wearing the same sneakers as you, perhaps it’s time to try something new. The adidas Gonz Aloha seems to be the ideal combination of less-hyped silhouette while retaining much of what makes Sambas and gazelles so wearable.
