Most Wanted: Gucci Trainers

When you worship at the altar of the holiest, most-wanted grails, Gucci should already be high on your Wishlist. Having famously been the first luxury brand to debut a high-end sneaker in the ‘80s, the House has since delivered a whole host of sneakers for the runway to the streets.  

Here at Browns, we’re serious about sneakers, so our buyers have curated an edit of five of their favourite styles from one of Italy’s greatest exports to note. The coveted, world-renowned Gucci Rhyton, Gucci Ace, Gucci Screener, GG Supreme and Gucci Mac80 trainers, to name but a few. Read on to discover more about each style before deciding on the perfect pair for you…

No Gucci sneaker collection is complete without a pair of Rhytons. Both classic and contemporary, this chunky and ever-so cool take on the beloved Dad sneaker is further proof that the trend isn’t fading anytime soon. 

Pledge your lifelong allegiance to the House of Gucci from head to toe, completing a fully logoed outfit with the vintage-style Brown GG Rhyton Sneakers, or the White Rhyton Web Logo Leather Sneakers. Alternatively, add them as a finishing touch to pared-back ensembles for a more subtle Gucci injection. Defined by their thick soles and chunky silhouette, these statement-makers won’t go unnoticed either way.

Despite the aforementioned chunky construction, the leather and canvas frameworks fit comfortably around your toes like a glove (or should we say sock), so we recommend staying true to your size. The thick soles will cushion your feet as you stomp the pavements. And don’t worry about your fresh creps getting dirty - they’re easy to wipe clean, so stomp away.
 

For style on and off the court, choose the Gucci Screener trainers. With a nod to ‘70s athleticism, the silhouettes pay homage to the House’s infamous retro revivals, modelled off a mix-and-match of sportswear references. Despite the fact they’re coined from a well-known defence tactic in basketball, we won’t block you from them… 

Go full sports-sleek, or just add this athletic edge to your everyday outfits. Like box-fresh style? Step into the Neutral Screener Sneakers in a fresh palette of cream and white. Or lean into the shabby-chic look of the Neutral Screener Sneakers treated with an all-over distressed finish, showcasing the signature Web Stripe and vintage Gucci logo. On monochromatic days, we’ll be wearing the Black Screener Low-Top Sneakers, boasting white contrasts and perforated detailing.

With this style, we recommend staying true to size. As cool as they are comfortable, these are an obvious choice. It’s a sartorial slam dunk. 
 

Keep this ace up your (metaphorical) sleeve to wear whenever, wherever. Catapulting us back to the pre-chunky era, the Gucci Ace offers a versatile, easy-to-style mainstay for your low-top sneaker collection. 

Stick to your minimalist tendencies with the crisp White New Ace Leather Sneakers which crack distinctive archival codes, embellished with the embroidered gold bee motif - debuted in the ‘70s - against green and red Web Stripe. Not forgetting the Black Ace GG Supreme Sneakers in classic black with an embossed interlocking G motif - the yin to your yang.

Lightweight and comfortable, these trainers make them the perfect run-around. They do run big, so go down half a size for a streamlined fit. And always keep a soft-bristle brush to hand and soak in warm soapy water to keep the leather looking box-fresh. 
 

Its season-transcending nature will make you return to the Mac80s time and time again. Once again, we’re time travelling with Gucci, bringing the retro low-top basketball aesthetics from the ‘70s/’80s into the modern day. 

Extra padding, comfortable cushioning, easy-breezy ventilation and an attention-commanding interlocking G motif are just a few of the details we love. As well as the lettering on the tongue, of course, which is fitting as we can’t get Gucci’s name out of our mouths. 

A triple threat, the three colourways available in our edit can cover dusk until dawn. Walk through daytime in the invigorating White Mac80 Panelled Sneakers, or the casually-refined Black Mac80 Low Top Sneakers. The monochrome elevates a simple jeans and jumper combination. As the sun begins to fade, get your Silver-Tone Mac80 Low-Top Sneakers out to add a high-shine, silver lining to after-dark antics. Further cementing our penchant for the unrelenting chrome trend, which is too good to never not be popular. 
 

Signed, sealed, delivered, GG Supreme is yours. The House’s notable signature canvas needs no introduction, boasting a historic interpretation of the unmistakable initials of founder Guccio Gucci all over. From bags and caps, to jackets and dresses, and more, the motif is etched onto a whole ensemble meaning you can coordinate from the feet up if desired.

We’re hot on the heels of the Brown GG Supreme Panelled Sneakers with unmissable-interlocking G stamps in gold on the back foot. The timeless, versatile nature of the print and classic colourway mean they will stand the test of time. With slip-on-and go appeal, you can easily dip your toe into a little luxury on the daily. 

Make premium canvas cleaner your best friend to help keep the fabric looking good as new. As with all of your Gucci sneakers, store in their original dust bag and shoe box to keep them box-fresh for as long as possible. Don’t leave them in there though, they’re all too good to go unnoticed.
