Both brother and sister have taken collaboration deals recently to release pairs of sneakers. Samantha’s set of Supra Indy’s are now available available at Factory 413.
Her brother Mark on the other hand is involved in an international sneaker launch. There will be Gucci pop-up shops staring in October in New York (Crosby St), Miami, London, Berlin, Hong Kong, Tokyo and possibly more. Ronson will have a signature trainer for each city that will include silver or gold metal dog tags, the classic Gucci stripe and logo, as well as a monogrammable leather tag on the laces.
In addition anyone who buys the shoes will recieve a 12-inch vinyl record with exclusive Mark Ronson tracks. Ronson says, “I spent many many years as an avid sneaker collector, so I wanted to make sure these Gucci shoes were truly special, both from an aesthetic point of view and a collectable one. Frida and I also agreed it was important for there to be a unique musical element to the project, so I’m going to be collaborating with artists, making limited edition tracks for each store opening.” While the Ronson-Gucci Shoes will be high priced between $500-$600, we’ll be on the lookout for the exclusive tracks.
