The official poster for Dune, the highly anticipated movie starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, and Javier Bardem, among others, has appeared on social media. While everyone is talking about it, confident of a success that will fill cinemas worldwide from October 22, we focus on something else. Our attention is naturally drawn to a pair of shoes capable of winning the hearts and minds of any sneaker lover and collector. The fact that Timothée Chalamet has worn a pair of them helps, as the actor less than a month ago, at the Cannes Film Festival, was one of the best-dressed men in the world. These latest sneakers he has just showcased are just the latest proof of his leadership in style. The unique thing is that we are faced with a pair of shoes very different from Jaden Smith‘s New Balance Vision Racer or Tretorn‘s sustainable Jack Corduroy Suede High-Top. What is the difference? In a nutshell: they are a pair of sneakers you expect to find in LeBron James or Michael Jordan‘s shoe closet. As soon as you see the image, you will understand what they are.

As you have seen, they are real basketball shoes. Their massive structure and high upper speak for themselves. However, they are not from a specialized sportswear brand for this type of footwear, such as adidas or Nike, but from Gucci, the Florentine house currently led by Alessandro Michele. A real surprise! The silhouette recalls the game shoes worn by basketball champions in the ’90s. It is a model that is part of Gucci Basket, an Italian brand tribute to the high trainer, usually associated with this sport.

Mainly in white with red details on the ankle, side panels, and sole, the blue that outlines the Gucci logo edge and runs along both sides of the shoe stands out. The sneakers admired on Timothée Chalamet‘s feet also score many points thanks to their sustainable nature. As stated on the brand’s official website, they are made of Demetra, “a revolutionary material composed of vegan raw materials that mainly come from sustainable, renewable, and organic sources.” Priced at $950 (€810.54 at the current exchange rate), they can be purchased on the Gucci website. Whether you feel like making a three-point shot playing in the nearest court or pairing them with slim-fit jeans and a white cotton t-shirt, Timothée Chalamet‘s sneakers are suitable. Without a doubt, we approve of them.
