Gucci Ace Sneakers - Are they still relevant?

I have two pairs of Ace sneakers and absolutely willing to get more. The snake skin in the back is somewhat delicate and will rub off over the years while the eyelets for the laces leave black stains on the leather and laces, which can be removed with a good cleaner. I would recommend cleaning and conditioning them regularly.
That being said, for my feet they are the most comfortable sneakers I have tried so far, as the soft leather will mold to the shape of your feet (I have damaged ballet feet) instead of forcing your feet into a certain shape.
My sister though has never had the patience to „break them in“, so I guess how comfortable they are is a very subjective matter.
 
I really like the Gucci Ace but I have the flat ones in red, white and blue stripes. I wanted a bit more lift but not overly high platform.
I found one today at 1.7". I do not care for those crazy looking ridges at the bottom of sneakers that Gucci has been presenting the past 2 or so years. I like plain and here it it is, Yay. Gucci is getting rid of that look, I hope..lol.

I will look for my size.
