I had preordered the small bowling ball bag. When I lifted it yesterday it was heavy. I'm thinking of switching it out for the small shoulder bag if they have it in. Going by the weight listed on the Gucci website, the small shoulder bag is half the weight of the small bowling ball bag. I'll have to see it in person later today. Thanks for the heads up that it was on the site.

I never know how to feel about these collections. And I guess this is coming from a guy who can't afford designer goods, but is definitely interested and hopes to one day afford designer goods. I love the Gazelle, It's a beautiful, simple shoe that goes with anything and everything and retails for $180 (canadian) so for me I don't... I'm not sure the proper way to put this, but I don't see why i'd spend $1100 on the Gucci version.
I understand from a brand perspective it's smarter for Adidas to go upstream rather than Gucci go downstream and "dilute" their brand name. But IDK, I feel that would be... more fun? The prospect that anyone can own a piece of Gucci, even though it would sell out in a hot second! But that I guess would be too "********ic." IDK H&M and Uniqlo seem to pull it off. I wear my Uniqlo by JW Anderson and J+ shirts and sweaters, and I still feel like I have a piece of designer goods.
But again, IDK, that Gucci Gazelle is gorgeous, and if I could, I'd snap it up. But I'll have to settle for a regular pair, just as beautiful.

@silvester you indeed have a valid point. I love this collection. However, I do own a some adidas clothing and gucci accessories. There is not much I absolutely need to get that would feel a void in my collection. Many of these pieces are adidas attire that I already own. However, if I do purchase something it may be to own a piece of this particular collection, for collector's purposes.

I totally agree with you, although I have my eyes on the pink gucci gazelles. The pricing is high for a pair of sneakers. Maybe some of the materials are of better quality than adidas but it’s still sneakers. I wonder if it’s priced so high to discourage resellers as I don’t think that most would pay beyond the very high retail price
