After months of anticipation, the first pair of shoes from the Pierre Hardy X Gap Collection were to be released today here in New York City. There was quite a bit of confusion on the release date...first we were told 10/19, then it was pushed back to 10/28. You can imagine the excitement when The Gap sent out a press release announcing that the first pair, a black suede platform (who's photo had been floating around the internet for months), would be released 3 days early to select stores in New York City, Chicago, and Houston.
However, as shoppers eagerly waited outside The Gap on Fifth Avenue this morning, they were sadly told that even though the shoes had arrived, they were not on the floor yet and that the store had an extremely limited number of pairs (we're talking single digits ladies).
Word on the street is, that there are 3 stores in NYC which received shipments today...the Fifth Avenue store in the Flatiron District, The Herald Square store, and the Broadway location on the Upper West Side.
Our advice is to stalk these stores if you want to have any chance of even getting a glimpse of these shoes, otherwise, you'll have to wait until December, when the rest of the collection hits stores.
Good Luck!
