According to the Gucci website, the Gucci embossed sneaker sells for $920 (R15 672). The sneakers are described as a chunky “silhouette giving it a playful, retro feel”.

The sneakers are made in Italy and the iconic GG symbol is embossed leather, the monogram motif adds a logo twist.

The Gucci brown leather marmont belt costs $570 (R9 716). 

Captioning his look, Lorch wrote: “Colour is everything, Black and White is more.”
