Opulent Retro-Inspired Trainers

Gucci Launches the Multi-Colored 'MAC80' Vintage Sneaker

— April 12, 2023 — Fashion
Gucci's new sneaker, the 'MAC80,' combines the unique mind of Sabato de Sarno, who now serves as the house's lead Creative Director, and the brand's premium materials for the opulent silhouette. The sneaker comes in seven unique colorways: black, white, blue, green, and red satin. Drawing inspiration from the 1970s and 1980s, the 'MAC80' utilizes design elements such as discoloration and distressing to its vintage inspiration. Scuffs and black rub marks decorate the tongues and midsole, while the laces and "Interlocking G" panel only have slight hints of discoloration.

The 'MAC80' arrives with branded insoles that match the Gucci branding embossed on the uppers. The new sneakers are available on the luxury brand's website and retail stores for a price of £660 / $950 USD.
