Adidas Samba OG vs Adidas Gazelle

Both are Adidas models, but lasts differ. Samba OG is labeled Runs Narrow (True to size length; half up if wide feet). Gazelle is Runs Narrow (True to size in length but runs narrow — wide feet go up half).

Adidas positions Samba as true to size with a regular-but-narrow fit; RunRepeat and wearer reports agree length is TTS while the toebox pinches wider feet. Stick to your usual size if narrow/average; go half up primarily for width, not length.

Gazelle is usually true to size in length but shares the Samba-style narrow last: suede does not stretch much, so wide feet commonly go half a size up for volume. Narrow/standard feet stay TTS. Do not size down for length the way you might on a Superstar — width is the constraint.

Use the table below as a starting point from fit offsets — then confirm with try-on or returns. Width can matter more than length between these two.
