Gucci Is selling $690 sneakers that are designed to look old and dirty

People will buy just about anything if it says, “Gucci,” on the tag! The design in question are the men’s Screener sneakers which have scuffs, marks, and come in a variety of stained colors. Gucci says they reference “old school shapes and materials inspired by vintage sportswear”—but they retail for just over $690. One shopper commented, “I’ve seen it all now, an eye-watering price-tag for a pair of dirty [sneakers.]” The brand is also selling the Rhyton, a chunky tennis shoe which also looks dirty, and comes in at the same price.
