The terrace trio (and Campus) share an Adidas lifestyle language but not the same last.
Shoppers bounce between Samba, Gazelle, Handball Spezial, and Campus 00s — and width is often the
real decision, not a half-size length change.
Use the matrix to pick a starting model, then open the detail guide before you buy.
Offsets are editorial until verified.
Decision matrix
| Model | Verdict | Width | Advice |
|---|
| Adidas Samba OG | Runs Narrow Verified | Narrow low-volume last — common complaint | True to size length; half up if wide feet |
| Adidas Gazelle | Runs Narrow Partial | Narrow non-stretch suede — snugger than Stan Smith/Superstar | True to size in length but runs narrow — wide feet go up half |
| Adidas Handball Spezial | True to Size Partial | Roomier than Samba among terrace trio; pliable suede stretches | True to size; half up if wide feet |
| Adidas Campus 00s | True to Size Partial | Padded chunky silhouette; suede needs break-in | True to size — take your normal size; wide feet between sizes can go up half |
| Adidas Stan Smith | True to Size Partial | Medium-narrow tennis last — snugger than Superstar forefoot | True to size; half up if wide |
| Adidas Superstar | Runs Big Partial | Shell toe adds dead length; forefoot can still feel snug | Size down half a size if narrow/average; TTS if wide |
