Men's New Ace Animal-Patch Leather Low-Top Trainers

The old and the new collide with impressive results in the form of Gucci's latest New Ace low-top trainers. Alessandro Michele’s signature sneak silhouette – recognisable a mile off – is embellished with the classic Web stripe (created many moons ago by Rodolfo Gucci―son of the great Guccio himself), and both a pig and a cat at the sides. All this to say: these kicks are slick. Don yours with corduroy trousers and loafers, and add some flamboyant socks, too, we say.

Hottest heritage brand on the fashion radar right now, Gucci is redefining modern luxury under new creative director Alessandro Michele’s visionary command. See the collection in Vogue, Tatler and many others.
