    Hello F1 fan,

    I am creating a 1/18 replica of Alain Prost car Williams FW 15, and I need input regarding the Williams team uniform.
    The color is blue and I am already in the process of creating specific decals.
    I am just not that sure regarding the red shoes and white driving gloves... was it true or was it just a photo-op when SEGA was the sponsor

    Take a look a the pics below please, you can see Sonic the hedgehog wore red shoes and white gloves.

    Thanks for your attention.

    I believe that the white gloves were solely for the Sonic sponsorship, as the only time I see them are in the pictures with Sonic in them.

    Here is a photo from his win at Magny Cours, which should answer the question of the gloves. I can't be more help with the shoes however.

    I did a little more research to help you out and I believe that his shoes were indeed red for the entire season, and it was just a coincidence that they matched the Sonic shoes.

    I came to this conclusion after watching videos of the podium ceremonies from Japan and Spain from 1993. The video of the Japanese GP shows his shoes quite well.

    Hope I helped!
