Product Description:
An exceptionally rare collector’s Gucci archive piece — celebrated for its appearance within the visual universe created through Gucci’s collaboration with legendary Japanese manga artist Hirohiko Araki.
Recognizable immediately through its sculptural silhouette, this dramatic platform sandal combines natural cork architecture with hundreds of hand-applied gold-tone pyramid studs, creating a tension between earthy materiality and futuristic glamour.
The upper features layered black suede straps that wrap fluidly across the foot and continue into an elongated lace-up ankle construction — delivering the theatrical energy characteristic of late-2000s Gucci.
Most notably, this exact style became associated with the celebrated Gucci × Hirohiko Araki visual collaboration, appearing within the illustrated world connected to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure universe and becoming one of the most memorable footwear moments from that crossover era.
Rather than functioning as a conventional summer wedge, this piece feels closer to wearable character design — exaggerated proportions, graphic contrast, and unmistakable presence.
The substantial cork platform offers elevation while maintaining balance, and the dense stud application creates extraordinary texture from every angle.
Extremely difficult to source today in this condition, especially complete with the original Gucci dust bag.
A standout acquisition for collectors of Gucci archives, Japanese fashion collaborations, editorial history, and JoJo-related collectible fashion pieces.
