Included in the Gucci SS11 footwear collection are three pairs of footwear, each described as a "Bootie with embossed Gucci detail" on the Gucci website. The three colorways available in this particular style include light gray, military green and light blue.
These additions to the Gucci SS11 footwear line feature suede uppers and have a silhouette that has an undeniable boat shoe influence. These mid-tops are sure to rock the boat. The uppers are accented with light stitching and metal eyelets. The look of the shoe is finished off with a rubber sole.
If you were to buy a pair of the "Bootie with embossed Gucci detail," you can expect to drop a decent amount of cash. With a brand name and an overall sweet design, it's probably worth it.
