Gucci's Insane New Bejeweled Sneakers Cost More Than NYC Rent
Do you have a spare $1600 lying around? Then Gucci has the shoes for you. Gucci's Journey Jewel Embellished Sneakers ($1590) have just become available for pre-order at Nordstrom, and we can't look away. We've discussed the "ugly" shoe trend ad nauseam here at Who What Wear—even dating back to 2016—but Gucci has truly outdone itself with these spectacularly over-the-top versions.
Boasting removable strings of crystals, the sneakers are a combination of several different trends. "Bejeweled straps race over and around a riot-of-colors sneaker amped up on a sculpted, mega-chunky flared sole," the product description reads. Only time will tell if they'll make their way onto the street style scene, but it's probably a safe bet. Scroll down to see the head-turning shoes, as well as Gucci's other new sneaker releases.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News.
