gucci icon temporary pop up sneaker store 1 Gucci Icon: Temporary Pop Up Sneaker Stores

In hopes of offering a different approach to retail, Gucci will launch their latest pop-up shop style endeavor with their Gucci Icon-Temporary project. Six to seven marquee “tastemaker” events will play host to 2-3 week long pop-up shop including Art Basel Miami and Crosby Street, New York. In addition to sneakers and footwear from the in-line Gucci collection, DJ and music-maker Mark Ronson has designed a special capsule of sneakers with items releasing at each of the different locations. A full press release can be seen below.

NEW YORK — Gucci is hoping its temporary stores leave a lasting impression.

Like other luxury retailers in the recession, Gucci is looking for high-impact, lower-cost methods of generating interest in the brand, especially among style leaders who may not be moved by conventional forms of advertising.

Gucci Icon-Temporary is that method. The flash sneaker store will touch down in six or seven locations around the world where tastemakers gather, such as Art Basil Miami Beach, staying open for two or three weeks in each spot. The first stop on the tour will be Crosby Street in SoHo on Oct. 23. Other stops will include London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Gucci Icon-Temporary units will feature 18 exclusive sneaker styles — 16 for men and two for women. Incorporating classic Gucci design elements such as the GG logo and a stylized version of the Gucci red-and-green web detail, each shoe has an embroidered “Limited Edition” label inside and a silver or gold metal dog tag hanging from the laces. Leather tags on shoe laces can be customized and embossed with a shopper’s initials.

In addition to the Limited Edition shoes, Frida Giannini, Gucci’s creative director, collaborated with DJ, music producer and sneaker enthusiast Mark Ronson on the design of Gucci Ronson sneakers. A new Gucci Ronson version will be introduced at every leg of the itinerant project. Icon-Temporary sneakers are priced from $500 to $1,400, and Gucci Ronson shoes, $500 to $600.
