The iconic Gucci Rhyton sneakers drop in its latest iteration, drawing inspiration from the popular Japanese game developing label SEGA. The luxury house has previously been influenced by SEGA, but this time -- the design cues are more subtle than usual. The newest sneaker reimagines the classic Rhyton while still nodding to the old-school gaming console with its coloration. The shoes are finished in a black leather material across its uppers and sit on top of a contrasting gum sole unit.
SEGA's recognizable graphic font is translated in a red and white Gucci logo across the side of the shoe. The new SEGA-inspired Gucci Rhyton sneakers are now available for purchase online and in retail locations at Gucci for the price of $884 USD.
