Beige is where the monogram belongs. Gucci has printed its double-G pattern on tan and brown grounds for decades, so this women's Gazelle is the most orthodox reading of the partnership in the whole set: a Beige Tone canvas upper carrying the print, Beige Tone trim to match, and Core White as the single contrasting element. The scheme is close to tonal, which means the pattern itself supplies all the texture, and the shoe changes appearance depending on how close you stand to it.
That subtlety is the argument for this one over the brighter versions. From across a room it looks like a plain sand-coloured low-top; within a few feet the repeated monogram resolves and the pair identifies itself. Both houses' branding sits on the tongue and heel, and the silhouette is untouched, low and narrow with the usual serrated stripes. It landed on March 31, 2023 at $850. Pale canvas is the least practical base in the collection, and on a women's cut with a slimmer last, it is also the most elegant.
