The Gucci Tennis 1977 Boasts Seriously Retro Vibes

Taking inspiration from its archives, Gucci is bringing back its 1977 tennis shoe. Reminiscent of the shoes you’d wear to Sports Day, these sneakers are intentionally designed to jog feelings of nostalgia and make the old feel brand new again!

The premium Italian brand is releasing the Gucci Tennis 1977 in seven sleek colourways – Alessandro Michele brought the new Disney x Gucci print into the mix and also looked back to previous colourways and added logo detailing to elevate it to luxury status. Each pair is finished with the brand’s signature red and green webbed strip, a logo patch on the tongue and a ‘GG’ motif to the toe.

The most statement pair in the pack is decorated with the ‘GG’ apple print that can be found elsewhere on some of the brand’s crowd-favourite garments. The rest come more subdued, with some sporting a vintage-style grubby finish and they all come presented in a Gucci box with dust bags to keep them clean and free from sun damage.

Whether the apple-printed iteration is your favourite or you’re partial to a classic monogrammed pair, the Gucci 1977 Tennis silhouette is a new-season essential. Prices range from £435 to £485 and you can cop on the Gucci site and in boutiques now! While we're on the topic of premium trainers, here are 15 his & hers luxury sneakers to wear together this Valentine's Day!
