New England just got its own flavor-packed sneaker drop, and it’s as authentic as it gets. Providence-based retailer Sneaker Junkies has teamed up with adidas to unveil the “Clam Chowder” Gazelle, a playful nod to the region’s signature dish and the community spirit that defines New England. This exclusive collab is set to grab the attention of food lovers and anyone who appreciates a pair with real storytelling behind it.
The design cooks up details straight from the chowder pot: a smooth, creamy suede upper channeling the broth, grey Three Stripes reminiscent of clams, and fresh green laces adding that hit of parsley. Each pair even comes with an anchor keychain—a salute to Rhode Island’s nautical roots—that ties the theme together. It’s a clever mix of premium craftsmanship and regional pride that makes this Gazelle more than just footwear.
To make the drop even sweeter, Sneaker Junkies is throwing block-party–style launch events across Providence, Boston, and New Haven. Expect live DJs, packed crowds, and, of course, bowls of clam chowder to match the theme—served up by local favorites like Dune Brothers in Providence and CT Clam Chowder Co. in New Haven. It’s sneakers, culture, and comfort food under one roof.
Co-founder Maher Najjar summed it up best: “This sneaker is more than a shoe—it’s a tribute to New England, our community, and the culture that has supported us since day one. We hope everyone who picks up a pair feels the same pride and connection that we feel every day.”
The Sneaker Junkies x adidas Gazelle “Clam Chowder” will retail for $130, dropping exclusively at Sneaker Junkies’ three retail locations and on the Sneaker Junkies website. These are limited to just 800 pairs, with individual numbering embroidered on the sockliner. Check them out below.
