Premiere: Chauffeur (Mark Ronson, Sam Sparro & Theophilus London), “Soles of Fire” MP3
- story Peter Macia
The semi-secretive super group known as Chauffeur came through The Levi’s®/FADER Fort NYC last Saturday looking like The Specials, all done up in tailored suits and sharp collars and ready to pump out some mellow dance music. Due to flight schedules and the fact that they have but one song, however, they only played for like eight minutes. What an eight minutes though! Sheila E cover HELLOOOO. The one song that is theirs, it turns out, is a special ditty cooked up for Gucci’s Icon-Temporary pop-up stores as they unveil the boat-sneaker designed by Mr Ronson himself, so prepare to feel like spending a lot of money as you listen to this. Ronson has that kind of mind power.

Mark Ronson Designs Sneaks for Gucci
- story Chioma Nnadi
Yesterday WWD broke the Mark Ronson x Gucci story, running this proud picture of our boy cuddled up to his two limited-edition sneaker designs. The kicks will not be available until late October, when Gucci will be opening up a bunch of temporary sneaker stores around the world, so there’s still about 78 shopping days left to save up the $500-600 you will need to take these babies home. It doesn’t take more than a split second to figure out that those navy joints will work better than the adventurer’s pouffy high-bred with Ronson’s wardrobe of suave Mad Men-ish suiting—especially when it comes to flashing a little leg on those long Caribbean yachting vacays.
