Shiekh Shoes has been a staple of the footwear game in California for over three decades now, boasting an impressive catalog of storefronts across the West Coast. However involved they may be in brick-and-mortar sales, however, they’ve largely left true collaborations to others — until now. The retailer is bridging the gap between the German giant and the Golden State by linking up with adidas, unveiling a duo of adidas Gazelles that foregrounds their local roots.

Titled the “West Coast Holiday” pack, the dominant adidas lifestyle model takes on dueling colorways of black/gold and tan/black. Either one essentially takes on one half of the titular concept, a sleek black edition that delivers a stealthy take on the gifting season. Chunky ribbon laces, patent leather overlays and a smattering of gilded hits enhance a commemorative flair, particularly eye-catching with the speckled midsole underfoot.

Swap over to the tan version for the geographic ties. Patchwork panels of paisley print pop with Californian flair, the earthy tonality utilized in doing so embracing the desert biome that takes over in the state’s Eastern regions. Jet black Three Stripes branding, a gum sole and off-white heel tab hold over from the classic adidas Gazelle configuration, ensuring that some traditional appeal remains even in this overhauled colorway.

The Sheikh adidas Gazelle “West Coast Holiday” capsule releases on Sheikh.com on December 6th at 10 AM EST. Both pairs carry a $110 retail price. Catch official images ahead of either colorway just ahead, and keep their respective “Where To Buy” sections handy to grab your pair on release day.
