Gucci's embroidered flower shoes and Balenciaga's two-in-one socks are flooding the market, with real and fake mixed together.

| Launched in 2015, the Gucci ACE Low-top Floral is one of the brand’s most successful products since Alessandro Michele took the helm. The white shoe with embroidered flowers on the body captivates the genderless fashion enthusiasts. A pair of embroidered Gucci costs 695 USD (about 15.7 million VND). |

| In 2016, Gucci floral shoes took the streets around the world by storm. Elle Fanning and Taylor Swift didn't miss this trend. |

| Earlier this year, these sneakers exploded in Vietnam. Thanh Hang (pictured) has a pair in her wardrobe. This is also one of the shoe models that is counterfeited quite a lot in stores. In shopping areas for young people in Hanoi such as Hang Non, Tran Quoc Toan, Pham Ngoc Thach or Nha Xanh market in Cau Giay, customers can easily find fake Gucci embroidered shoes for a few hundred thousand to a million VND, depending on the level of counterfeiting. |

| Balenciaga Speed Trainers are another shoe that both men and women love. The "darling" of Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia has a unique and powerful look. The design combines sneakers, high socks and shock absorbers. Balenciaga Speed Trainers come in three versions: black, white and red, weighing 240 grams. |
