The Ronsons Love Footwear.

In the next few days Hollywood DJ Sam Ronson will be spinning at her own release party for her very first signature shoe, a pair of Supra INDYs; personally not a fan but hey, props to Sam for getting this done - the shoe comes in a black and gold color way and features Ronson's headphones logo on a hang tag.

While baby sis is playing with Supra, big brother Mark is hard at work with Gucci; the fashion brand plans to open 6-7 'Icon-Temporary' pop up shops in major cities around the world (London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo. etc.) each will remain open for a maximum of 3 weeks and will carry 18 exclusive styles of 'temporary' sneakers. Expect classic Gucci design elements like the GG logo and red-and-green web detail on these kicks. Each shoe has an embroidered “Limited Edition” label inside and a silver or gold metal dog tag hanging from the laces.As for the collaboration...

“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.”
