Copper is a difficult colour on suede. Push it too far and it turns orange; pull it back and it reads as plain brown. Hazy Copper lands in between, a dusty, faintly warm metallic tone that shifts depending on how the nap is brushed, and on this women's Gazelle Indoor it covers the whole upper. Cloud White handles the serrated three stripes and the heel tab, which is the only place the shoe raises its voice, and a gum outsole underneath adds a second warm tone that keeps the copper from looking isolated.
Copper, cream and gum is a combination adidas has used across several Originals models, but the Indoor pattern suits it best because the sole is thin enough that the gum reads as a stripe rather than a slab. The pair went out on August 21, 2024 at $120. It is a colourway with a narrow season, autumn more than spring, and the payoff for that specificity is that it looks like nothing else on a shelf of navy, black and white Gazelles.
