The stories Gucci Tennis ’84 sneaker was a shoe coveted by inner city “entrepreneurs” with much bank—just ask Dallas Penn. Now, it is available again (they’ve been getting reissued but quickly sell out). If it surprises you that it looks like RBK’s S. Carter sneaker, then now you realize where Jay Z got the inspiration for the design. Cost of entry in 2016 is still a pricey $495, and that gets you plush Italian leather upper and an OG silhouette. True to form, the side panels are textile. If you cop, rock them with respect. See detailed images of the Gucci Tennis ’84 below and on the flip. Pick up here. [H/T The Shoe Game] — Photos: Gucci
