Haute Sportswear-Inspired Sneakers

The Gucci Ultrapace R sneaker is the latest iteration of the Ultrapace model unveiled by the brand for its Fall/Winter 2019 collection that gives the casual footwear style a running-focused overhaul. The sneaker features a lightweight knitted upper fabric that calls to mind classic sportswear design, which is paired with a wire dial closure that's commonly found on trail and hiking shoes. The outsole of the style is transparent to give it a somewhat retro sporty look that will definitely catch eyes when worn on city streets or rural environments.

The Gucci Ultrapace R sneaker is part of the growing prominence of sportswear styles in the high-fashion market as consumers seek to outfit themselves with products ready for athletic endeavors or rural exploration.
