There are two options available, the high-end pair will cost you $12.99 (R220), while the cheaper pair costs $8.99 (R130). Videos of people 'wearing' the sneakers have been shared on social media and it seems people really are buying them.

The colourful sneakers were designed by Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele and according to some comments, people are likely to wear them in real life as they resemble the new futuristic sneaker collection the fashion giant recently released.
