Luxe Flame Sneakers

These Gucci Sneakers Feature a Fiery Metallic Design Along with the Brand Logo

— August 8, 2016 — Fashion
Luxury apparel brand Gucci is known for its modern high-fashion designs, making the flame-sporting Gucci sneakers a seemingly strange release.

A part of the brand's Fall/Winter 2016 collection, the Gucci sneakers use a low-top construction and a variety of quality materials that make it stand out. Each contrasts starkly against the other, adding to the model's flashy look and granting its wearer the attention of others as they walk down the street.

The colorway includes an off-white upper, sole, interior and laces paired with a dark snakeskin heel. On the sides of the sneakers is a flame design that uses vibrant and metallic red and deep yellow tones. Cutting through the middle of this design is the iconic Gucci ribbon, which is framed between two light rose-colored bars of metallic fabric.
