Reform UK “honourary president” Nigel Farage has entered the chat, showing off his adidas Gazelles in a video on Instagram. “So Rishi Sunak thought he would get down with the kids and wear a pair of Sambas and it bombed,” said the politician(?) on his IG page. “I’m not a Samba man, I’m more of a Gazelle man myself,” he continued, before flicking his foot up for the trainer reveal, Dazed reported.
While Farage must wear something on his feet at all times to cover his cloven hooves, I’m sure adidas is wishing that it wasn’t one of its own styles. They’ve had enough bad press thanks to Sunak’s little stunt, and now this one is only adding insult to injury. But if you yourself own a pair of Gazelles that you’re now hankering to throw out, all is not lost – pick out a brand new pair from this list of replacements we compiled after Sunak’s OG faux pas. /BGNES
