Luxury fashion house Gucci released two new versions of the Rhyton Sneakers, made in collaboration with creative director Alessandro Michele.
Each pair is originally stamped with the brand's iconic vintage logo running laterally across the exterior. The first pair features a white and black base, thick multi-colored stripes and a chunky silhouette. The second pair has a black base with alternate stripes and the same body. The traditional Gucci branding is relocated to the tongue of the shoe and the heel to give them a retro aesthetic. Perfect for the summer, the sneakers are thick, yet lightweight enough to wear in warm weather.
Gucci's new Rhyton Sneakers have bold new hues on a traditional, fan-favorite body and are available online now starting at $910.
