Original men's Gucci New Basketball high-top sneakers, model 386738, made of soft dark green nappa leather and produced in Italy in 2015 with the arrival of Alessandro Michele at the helm of the Maison.
This version stands out for its high-top construction inspired by vintage basketball shoes, the ankle strap with embroidered Gucci logo, the high-quality premium leather, and the contrasting white sole with a red bottom.
These are never-worn (New Old Stock) items, sourced from Gucci warehouse stock and complete with the original box associated with the model.
Today, the New Basketball model is out of production and much less common than the Ace or Screener lines, making it an interesting choice for those looking for an authentic and uncommon vintage Gucci sneaker.

Why we selected them
The Gucci New Basketball represents one of Alessandro Michele's first sports sneakers for Gucci. Clean lines, quality materials, and Italian production that is increasingly difficult to find in new-like condition today.
An ideal sneaker for Gucci collectors, luxury vintage fashion enthusiasts, and those looking for an out-of-production model different from the brand's more common offerings.
