Luxury fashion house Gucci highlights two signature sneaker models in the new Cruise 2019 collection -- the Flashtrek and the Rhyton are sneakers that originally made their debut during the unveiling of the Pre-Fall 2018 capsule. The footwear designs boast chunky structures and sit in the spotlight of the house's new editorial.
The main theme that the lookbook takes on is a 70s magazine aesthetic as retro ads. This is translated through cues such as retro gray settings, furniture, flamingo motifs, and marmalade. Some special details that adorn the sneakers include a large red lip with a snake-like tongue coming out of it adorning the Rhyton model and crystal-infused harness over the chunky Flasktrek sneakers.
