The Bold is the platform version of the Gazelle, its sole stacked to raise the whole shoe well above the standard pair's flat profile, and that extra height changes what a colourway has to do. Here the upper is Off White suede, a warm cream rather than a bright white, with Silver Metallic replacing the gold foil the model normally uses for its branding and Collegiate Green supplying the accent. Silver on cream is cooler and more modern than the usual gold on suede, and the green keeps it from tipping into sterility.
A thicker sole also means a larger expanse of white rubber under a pale upper, so the whole shoe lives or dies on how clean it stays. adidas listed it on August 23, 2024 at $120, in line with the rest of the women's Gazelle range that season. The platform is the reason to choose this over a standard pair: it adds height without adding bulk up top, since the upper pattern is unchanged, and it puts the serrated three stripes higher in the sightline than they sit on the flat version.
