For the launch of the exclusive sneakers, Gucci will be opening a series of temporary stores in the world’s hottest locations. The first stop was in NYC on Crosby Street.
The event, which was hosted by Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini, attracted may celebrities including Mark Ronson, Evan Rachel Woods, James Franco and Claire Danes. Other stops include Miami, London and Tokyo.
Mark Ronson wasn’t an ordinary guest. The DJ and Samantha Ronson’s brother collaborated with Gucci for a limited edition Ronson sneaker which will be released at every destination.
It is apparent that sneaker’s have made there way into high fashion. First we had Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, YSL and now the high-end sneaker pioneers Gucci are revamping their look and bringing on the hype by releasing this ultra exclusive collection.

Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini has created the pop-up store that will travel to different locations, beginning this October in SoHo. Other stops are to include London, Paris, Berlin and Tokyo - with the store remaining in each place for just a few weeks.
The stores will stock 18 sneaker designs in their stores—16 for men, 2 for women—and Mark will design a unisex pair that’s unique to each city.
Ronson told WWD, “I spent many, many years as an avid sneaker collector, so I wanted to make sure these Gucci shoes were truly special from an aesthetic and collectable point of view.”
Each pair will be priced from $500 to $600.
We love this idea! Wonder if he’ll be getting any advice from his designer sis?
