Thankfully this year's Art Basel is looking a little less gloomy, because Gucci and Mark Ronson are bringing you exactly what you've always dreamed of: limited edition $600 sneakers!
Gucci is getting into the trendy "pop-up shop" game, and setting up a series of temporary stores selling nothing but limited edition sneakers called the 'Icon-Temporary' line. The Miami Beach store will, of course, run concurently with Art Basel.
Each stop on the tour will unviel a special shoe designed by Ronson and Gucci creative director Frida Gianni dubbed the Gucci Ronson. Additionally there's 17 other styles (that's 16 for men, and two for the ladies in all). Each shoe comes with silver or metal dog tags, your initials engraved on a lace plate, a 12 inch vinyl record of exclusive Ronson tracks, and the satisfaction that you've survived the recession.
