They say you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear.
So when the Gucci style gods wanted a healthy dose of hip to go with the launch of GUCCI ICON-TEMPORARY, their new flash sneaker store debuting later this week in Soho, they called for Ronson.
Mark Ronson.
You’re well aware of Mark’s reputation as turntable master, award-winning producer (see Back to Black by Amy Winehouse), and favorite DJ of the fashion police.
Now, thanks to a smart collaboration with Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini, you can add footwear designer to the list. Starting this Friday, his new line of Gucci Ronson shoes will debut at Gucci’s new pop-up shop on Crosby Street.
Along with his designer sneaks, Gucci will also unveil a limited edition collection of kicks featuring 16 men’s styles and 2 women’s styles, all highlighting classic Gucci design elements. Each shoe comes with either silver or gold metal dog tags, and you can even emboss your initials onto a customized leather tag on each shoe’s laces.
Throw in a special 12-inch vinyl record with tracks selected by Ronson himself and you’ve got a pretty cool deal.
You do own a turntable, don’t you?
