Have you ever dreamed of fusing the cosiness of your slippers with your favourite sneakers?

Gucci has just fulfilled that wish with their winter-ready rendition of the New Ace.

The bee adorned silhouette arrives in classic form, with one particularly fuzzy twist.

Snug wool has replaced the shoe's traditional leather lining, extending to form an opulent shearling trim which completely covers the collar.

Ready to combat January's icy conditions without sacrificing in the style stakes, Gucci's signature side stripes and metallic heel detailing endorses this pair as a cold weather essential.

Who said that practical fashion and high fashion couldn't exist in harmony?
