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.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
