At Gucci, the desire to promote self-expression has led to the development of a comprehensive programme of personalisation and customisation initiatives. Now this concept has been extended to the House’s celebrated Ace sneaker, which has been developed to allow the application of detachable patches.
#GucciAceSneakers
For Pre-Fall 2017, the iconic white Ace is introduced in six new styles for women, and five for men, with interchangeable patches that attach using snap buttons. Pairs are purchased already featuring patches and can then be customized by acquiring additional ones from a range of 9 add-ons. A single pair of shoes can be transformed into a canvas with over 100 patch combinations.
For women, there are six models featuring eccentric patches in either thread or crystal. Patches displaying the cat, ‘Blind for Love’ expression, pineapple, crystal panther and flamboyant fumé crystal bow feature on five pairs, while a sixth displays a patch with the number 25 on one shoe, combined with the motif of the beaded heart pierced by a sword on a patch on the other. All patches echo design details found in the Spring-Summer 2017 women’s collection.
For men, there are five new styles with detachable patches: in thread, there is the ‘Blind for Love’ expression, the iconic Gucci tiger head, the cat, and the UFO, which is coupled with a dragon for the other shoe in its pair; a panther is also available, but unlike the women’s style, it comes in terry material.
In the Philippines, Gucci is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 4 and Shangri-La Plaza East Wing. Follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
