Shoes: Mark Ronson for Gucci

I just nearly had a heart attack. If there's any justice in this world, these shoes will find their way to my shoe closet one day. Can't wait. I really, really want.



Here's the text from Material Interest:

More surprising than a Mark Ronson-designed shoe? The fact that there hasn't been a Mark Ronson-designed shoe before. Gucci has tapped the DJ and producer, one of its most high-profile fans, to collaborate with Frida Giannini on several styles of Gucci Ronsons for the brand's upcoming series of sneakers-only pop-up shops, the first of which comes to NYC this October. The three styles the brand is previewing include a chukka, a deck shoe, and a more traditional sneaker, which, with their bright colorways and preppy styling, call to mind the footwear of another of Ronson's favorite lines, Band of Outsiders. It's a smart move, we'd say, to push limited editions with one of the few guys left with the cred to make them must-have. Avid kick collectors will no doubt want them all—but since a new style will be released at each new pop-up on the tour (currently planned to include London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo), they'd better have a few frequent-flier miles at the ready.
