Despite the fact that I’m 29 years old and haven’t seen the inside of a classroom in seven years, I still use “back-to-school shopping” as an excuse to refresh my wardrobe every August. It’s a tradition I forgot to retire after graduating (and TBH, don’t plan to—sue me). Why should I deprive myself of a well-deserved new ‘fit?? If anything, I earned the annual shopping spree after hustling through 16 years of schooling!
So, in the spirit of rewarding myself properly, I’m shopping the Adidas back-to-school sale with zero apologies or chill. I mean, what do you expect of me when Gazelles are nearly half-off?? There are tonssss of good deals, beyond just shoes—though, obvi, I’m adding those to my cart too. I’m freshening up my activewear collection with new leggings (these feel like butterrrr) and staple tees, and stocking up on jackets for the chillier fall temps.

Now, to the most important topic at hand: The 40%-off Gazelle Bold Sneakers that come in soooo many color combos. The pink and green are already in my cart, obvi, but I might need to add a more neutral shade in there too—just so they have company! I’m selfless! The style looks just like the signature design but with a lil lift. They’re crafted from premium suede (so luxe!) and feature metallic gold detailing (also luxe!). They are the personality shoe you’ve been missing from your life, I promise. There’s even a printed version!

“Comfortable shoes! Buy yourself some ASAP,” one customer raves. “I wore these all day without a problem! I must say I almost thought the shoe was going to be too heavy given that it’s a platform shoe, but they were perfect!” Other shoppers called them “straight fire” and “very comfortable.”
Aside from just the Gazelles, I have my eyes on the 1.0 Ultraboost Shoes (for when I wanna pretend I’m going to the gym but really just getting an iced coffee) and Run 70s 2.0’s that are just the perf everyday shoe—break ’em down, costs per wear, and they’re basically free. The VL Court 3.0 sneakers are also my fave Sambas alternative.

This sort of girl math expertise is what I went to college for in the first place, ya know??
