While we’re getting back to basics in terms of colorblocking and palette selection as the mainstream in this post-recession fashion world, it’s only right to see a modern classic be allowed to reintroduce they-self. Younger sneakerheads might see the silhouette and wonder why Reebok is retroing the S.Carter, but those in the know remember that design was actually aping the original Gucci Tennis ’84. A sneaker whose street cred is beyond reproach, the Gucci Tennis joints still command a premium price tag some twenty-odd years after the initial release, and this signature white leather design with Gucci stripe on the heel will retail for $375. Worth the price or just a ripoff Rod Laver from an unfortunate era? Click through to get a better look and stick with Sneaker News for all the latest. via Selectism
