Gucci and SEGA team up for a $1,400 sneaker

[lupianwolf]

Gucci unveils six colorways of its SEGA sneaker, a shoe epitomizing Alessandro Michele's everything-is-everything design aesthetic. Made in collaboration with Japanese video game giant SEGA, the shoe's leather and mesh upper is made distinct by a jewel-covered strap that wraps around the shoe from the heel to the toe and under the sole. The Gucci logo is printed on the shoe's tongue, using the SEGA font. Naturally, the shoe sits on a super chunky midsole with a rugged, hiker sole. Subtly is everything this shoe doesn't stand for.

Planned for an early July launch and sized for men and women, the shoe is priced at $1,400, taking luxury sneaker pricing to a new high, topping the previous high $1,090 price tag of Louis Vuitton's Archlight sneaker.

They're putting Infinity stones in everything these days

 

[Telpis]

Fucking Ugly

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

Nothing about that sneaker says "Sega" to me. I'd rather have a pair of Nintendo Vans.

 

[Abriael]

This is literally the ugliest thing I have seen today.

But Gucci never suited my taste, so...

 

[2+2=5]

For some reason it reminds me of kingdom hearts.

 

[Chrono]

Gotta go fast (in the other direction, as far away from these sneakers as I can get).

 

[Joffy]

Imagine paying $1400 for that monstrosity. There's one born every minute

 

[ODDI]

Jesus christ so ugly

 

[HStallion]

Looking at that shoe I certainly don't think Sega. At all.

 

[clockstrikes]

that's atrocious

The Infinity Sneaker didn't have the same ring to it

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Wow that's horrible looking.

 

[Brian_FETO]

finally shoes for people like me

 

[Xiaomi]

Is it a sneaker for eight year-old girls from the 90s? Because that's the only target audience for this that makes sense.

 

[Apathy]

That's one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. Who the fuck would but the shit

 

[Deleted member 16876]

It reminds me of a poodle.

Give me a shoe like Kiryu or Majima instead.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

If you took off the ugly bands of gems, they wouldn't be terrible. But at that point, you're paying $1,400 from a rather standard pair of shoes.

I know Toshihiro Nagoshi likes Gucci but not even he would wear this shit

 

[Sir Guts]

I wouldn't even pay $5 for this garbage

 

[Heretic Kazuma]

My first thought...

 

[Jessie]

Sneakerheads are pressing F5 as we speak

 

[gdt]

I think it looks ugly from the side but much better from the front. Bit bulky for my tastes though.

 

[Kickmaster Kim]

Them shits oogly.

lol right? I was trying to think what Sega had to do with it and the only thing I could think of was Columns.

 

[neon_dream]

I feel nauseous.

If I ever see someone wearing these in person I might instantly die... dead. Literally. For real. Please don't.

 

[Chrono]

Maybe you can buy a pair, pop one of the Infinity Stones out, and reverse your horrible mistake.

 

[Jamie]

Looks like someone threw a sneaker in the closet and their sister's belt got wrapped around it.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

The Homer of footwear.

 

[Print_Dog]

Nah. For real though? For 1400 I was expecting to at least be tempted.

 

[Snake Eater]

High fashion

 

[Chessguy1]

gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang

 

[Involution]

Localizing Yakuza spinoffs and Phantasy star games would be a better investment than this, wtf.

 

[sibarraz]

Does Sega own the font of their logo or something? Otherwise I don't know how those sneakers are related to Sega

 

[Chromax]

Dude wrote the article never heard of Christian Louboutin.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Kill it with fire!

 

[Kyora90]

Is that the real Gucci Gang?

 

[Azubah]

That looks hideous .

 

[Pennywise]

Looks like something a 5 year old came up with.

 

[Deleted member 42641]

Yea Resetera is not the best place to be having a fashion discussion

Shoe has potential to be put together nicely with something but certainly needs to be the centerpiece of the outfit. The idea is cool though

I mean, it kinda looks like something a Sonic character would wear...

[Deleted member 36578]

WTF that's disgusting.

I expected red and white Sonic sneakers. I'm so disappointed.

 

[Weltall Zero]

 

[carlosrox]

What does this have to do with Sega?

Why not Sonic sneakers or something with the Sega logo on it? Couldn't they at least make the Gucci blue so it actually looks like the Sega logo? I didn't even get the connection.

Okay.

 

[Brite_Boy]

The white colorway is quite nice.

 

[OrangeNova]

"Okay so we've got a regular sneaker right? Now lets put some leather straps on it! Okay then put some gems on those... Raise the arch up a bit so the leather straps don't touch the ground"

This looks like something I could make in an hour for $30 at Walmart and the Dollar store.

 

[Deleted member 4552]

Who is this for.

 

[Polyh3dron]

that's a lot of chaos emeralds
