The final chapter of Alessandro Michele’s reign at Gucci is upon us, and as the House begins to roll out its Spring/Summer 2023 “Twinsburg” collection we’re being treated to some particular goodies — such as this pair of boots.Inspired by the equestrian world, the new Gucci boot mixes leather riding influences with metal components, notably adding a cap to the toe. However, it’s the harness on the side that ushers in Michele’s subversion; sure, it’s equestrian, but it’s also rather kinky.Bringing horse riding cues back to the fore, we find pull tabs on either side of the boot, as well as lock-stitched panels on the front and back adding an extra layer of paneled leather to the heel and vamp accordingly.As for branding, the pair is treated to an “Interlocking G” touch on the toe, also found in metal, as well as scripture on the harness’ ring. A low 43mm heel and a leather sole round out this £1,660 GBP (approx. $2,000 USD) pair of boots.Take a closer look at the style above, and purchase them online now.In related news, Gucci Vault has dug into, reworked, and released its archives.

Nike makes it a point to stay tapped into sneaker culture and its ever-evolving trends so that it can provide consumers with the most functional and relevant products. And with silhouettes that are sport easy-on-easy-off access continuing to surge in popularity the Beaverton-based sportswear giant thought that it’d be the best time to reintroduce an offering from its early 2000s archives: the Nike ACG Watercat+.Originally launched in 2006, the Watercat+ was positioned as a silhouette that you could wear in the water. Its full woven upper provides wearers with ample breathability, and it has been modernized with a tighter knit build and supportive leather overlays to hold its shape. Additionally, a new rubber heel counter has been situated on the heels and this comes branded with an ACG hit. Slated to release this Spring/Summer is an all-new “Phantom/Light Orewood Brown” colorway which comes fashioned with a set of brighter neutral uppers that are fit for a paradise vacation. ACG branding lands on the lateral heels of the midsole pieces while the treading is done up with a two-toned arrangement.Official images of the pair can be seen in the gallery above, and you can expect Nike and other retailers to release these in the coming months for $125 USD.For more news, check out the Nike Air Max Pulse that will be dropping for Air Max Day.
