Editor’s Notes: Gucci has added a new sneaker to its running-inspired Ultrapace line with the Ultrapace R. Two colorways of the luxury runner have just been made available via Gucci.com, retailing for $890 each.
A futuristic evolution of the original design, the Ultrapace R stands out due to its wire dial closure that has replaced the traditional lacing set-up. Because of this, you can tighten and loosen the shoe with the simple twist of the dial.
At the core, the Ultrapace R is a hybrid design incorporating select elements from different eras. You can purchase the new colorways, recognized as part of the Epilogue collection, by following the link below.
