Adidas Gazelle Bold 'CNY' Women's (2026)
Description
The adidas Gazelle Bold ‘CNY’ Women’s (2026) continues the brand’s longstanding tradition of marking Lunar New Year with thoughtfully designed footwear, applying festive significance to one of adidas’ most enduring silhouettes. Rooted in sport and embraced by global street culture, the Gazelle serves as a fitting canvas for a Chinese New Year–themed release that balances heritage design with seasonal relevance.
Overview
Originally introduced in the 1960s as a training shoe, the adidas Gazelle has evolved into a lifestyle staple defined by its clean profile, low-cut construction, and timeless appeal. The 2026 Chinese New Year edition for women stays true to this legacy while celebrating the occasion through refined detailing aligned with adidas’ annual CNY collections. Built on the classic Gazelle foundation, the sneaker features the model’s signature streamlined shape, traditionally crafted with a premium suede upper, contrast Three Stripes branding, and a durable rubber outsole. Designed specifically for women, the silhouette offers a tailored fit that maintains the Gazelle’s reputation for everyday comfort and versatility. As with previous adidas Lunar New Year releases, the ‘CNY’ Gazelle is positioned as both a cultural nod and a wearable staple, seamlessly transitioning from seasonal celebration to year-round rotation.

WHY OUR PRICES
The honest answer. The question we hear most: how can you sell the same sneakers for so much less? Here's the full, transparent breakdown — not a marketing line.
Where your money goes
At a boutique — $400
- The shoe itself ~15–25%
- Flagship store rent overhead
- Global advertising overhead
- Celebrity partnerships overhead
- Multi-layer distribution overhead
At Sole Dept
- The shoe itself what you pay for
- Boutique rent removed
- Advertising levy removed
- Celebrity premium removed
- Intermediary margins removed
Why we can do it
Production cost
The materials, construction and labour in a quality pair are a fraction of the boutique price. The rest is overhead and brand premium.
The retail mark-up
Brands add huge mark-ups to fund advertising, flagship stores and distribution across dozens of countries — you pay for all of it, whether you want to or not.
The Sole Dept difference
We source directly through UA (unauthorised authentic) supply lines. Lean operating costs, and every dollar saved is passed to you at checkout.
PACKAGING & WHATS INCLUDED
Every pair arrives complete. When your order lands, it looks and feels exactly the way it should — the full retail presentation, nothing stripped out. Here's precisely what comes in the box.
What's in every order
Original branded box
Each pair ships in its correct branded shoe box with the matching size label and SKU — the same box the silhouette is meant to come in, protected inside an outer shipping carton so it arrives crush-free.
Complete original packaging
Tissue paper, silica packs, the branded wrapping and inserts that shape the shoe in transit — all present, just as you'd expect from a boutique unboxing.
Dust bags
Where the model is issued with dust bags, they're included — ideal for storing your pair, keeping it clean between wears, and travelling with it.
Extras & spares
Spare laces, alternate lace colours, replacement parts and any accessories that ship with the original — included in the box exactly as intended.
Free gift with every order
On top of the full packaging, every Sole Dept order includes a complimentary free gift as a thank-you — a small extra tucked in the box, on us.
