<\/a><\/p>\n

Watching trends in the sneaker industry is like being back in calculus class. Ups and downs are the only thing that is consistent. Lately, it’s been the “Gucci” colorway that is the craze. The green, red, green, is finding it’s way onto shoes made by Nike, Reebok, Fila and other suspects. Most recently Crooks & Castles and Vans<\/a> teamed up for a couple of Gucci inspired sneakers.<\/p>\n

Some styles seem to stretch for years, across brands, and seem to always have followers. Nothing has been as consistently popular as elephant print from Nike, it has been a staple in the shoe game for years, but the “Gucci” releases seem to keep coming with no end in sight.<\/p>\n

So is the “Gucci” fad the next elephant print? Take a stroll through some “Gucci” colored kicks and tell us if you think the idea is “Dope! or Nope!” after you see the list.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nUNDR CRWN x Adidas TS Commander
\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UNDR CRWN x Adidas TS Commander<\/strong> showed up last month in an obvious Gucci inspired colorway. The ankle strap received the classic green\/red\/green coloring that became synonymous with the Gucci Brand. With so much red and green on the shoe it has quite the Christmas feel.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n“Gucci” Starks Laces<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starks created some Nike iD Air Force 1’s<\/strong> inspired by the famous Gucci colorway back in 2007. They upped the ante with a set of green \/ red \/ green laces with gold tips. You can pick up the “Tennis Classic laces on their website for only $8 – probably the least expensive way to get into the Gucci action.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nPremium Goods x Fila Tennis Classic
\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In early 2008 the Fila Tennis Classic<\/strong> dropped exclusively at Premium Goods<\/a>, in a black colorway with red and green “Gucci” colors on the side. Of course you know they couldn’t leave it at that, they had to throw in some gold on the logos, as well as on the eyelets. To add to the “Hood Rich” approach a ballistic nylon was used on most of the upper, similar to the material found in bullet proof jackets. Too bad you can’t tuck in the gold in like DJ Pooh had to in Friday<\/a> otherwise these might have gotten a little more love.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\n“Gucci” Nike SB P-Rod 2<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nike SB P-Rod 2<\/strong> received more colorways than we could count, but the “Gucci” colorway definitely got our attention, especially with the matching gear Nike Skateboarding released with it. On top of that the speckled sole added just enough to keep these kicks off the shelves, and on the way into a lot of sneakerhead collections.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\nCrooks & Castles x Vans Fremont
\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Crooks & Castles Vans<\/strong> collab resulted in two colorways to be released in 2009 at the C&C flagship store in Los Angeles. Croc-skin and Gucci colors, along with the green\/red\/green ankle strap were applied to leather uppers on both a white colorway and black colorway of the Vans Fremont sneaker. The black version one-up’s the white with the addition of patent leather.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nJhung Yuro<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up and coming sneaker company Jhung Yuro hit us up with a look at a couple of there upcoming releases. A low and a mid both featuring Gucci inspired colorways. With the high quality materials used in their kicks, they may be the most deserving of the luxurious Gucci colors on our list.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\n“Gucci” Nike Air Force 2<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nike Air Force 2<\/strong> has been the platform for all sorts of, well, interesting experiments. From Espo’s infamous clear kicks, to video game consoles like the Atari, and now Gucci, designers have used a wide variety of inspiration on this classic sneaker. The “Gucci” versions came with a Gucci-like heel tag and matching laces, and a paisley print mixed into the otherwise black leather upper.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nDope or Nope – Gucci Inspired Colorways S. Carter Reeboks<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jay-Z’s Reebok<\/strong> kicks, the S. Carter line, reached deep into the creativity bag in hopes of finding something to save the now defunct line, they came out holding a pair of these Gucci inspired S. Carter’s. In the biggest Gucci bite of all, these S.Carter’s not only used the Gucci colored laces, but also took the entire silhouette from Gucci in hopes to save the line. Apparently it didn’t work out too well.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n“Gucci” Nike Dunk High SB
\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nike Dunk SB<\/strong> has been used as a creativity platform for everyone and their mother’s. We’ve seen things inspire a pair of dunks that you’d never even thing of, but these unreleased Nike Dunk High’s really took the Gucci inspiration and applied an incredible colorway to a silhouette that has been reworked more times than Michael Jackson’s nose. Too bad these never dropped or I might have some “Gucci” inspired kicks in my collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
