You Just Need to See Gucci's Insane New Sneakers Up Close
Do you have a spare £1000 lying around? Then Gucci has the shoes for you. Gucci's Flashtrek Sneakers (£1080) are now available for preorder, 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 crystals straps (well, a girl needs choice), the sneakers are a combination of several different trends. "Bejeweled straps race over and around a riot-of-colours sneaker amped up on a sculpted, mega-chunky flared sole," the product description reads. It's definite that they will make their way onto the street style scene, and we're pretty certain there will be copycats aplenty to hit the high street. This upcoming autumn is nothing if not very sparkly, after all. 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 2015, 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.
