Carbon fiber has made its way into many different industries, from automobile to industrial and now, fashion -- thanks to the Gucci GG Plus Moccasins. At first glance, you might not be able to see exactly where the carbon fiber material comes into play, until you glance down at this shoe's heel. Bringing loafers to a whole new level, Gucci did not just include this extra touch for aesthetics, but to improve this shoe's performance.
Completely unique, in addition to the carbon fiber pattern, the Gucci GG Plus Moccasins also sport its signature pattern, which takes over most of the surface of the shoe.
