Why only CCP drips get attention here? >>11465447 said >ccp is goat but I've only seen sneaker drips getting posted here, not even the u sole ones. I think CCP's clothes are better than his sneakers and they should get more attention here. /fa/ would probably style ccp drips like an average hypebeast sneakerhead fuccboi
>>11465621
random ccp shoe vid i came across
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhvCLa7S9Qs
is this legit?
>>11465621
You must be new here. I'm none of those guys, but back in the good era of /fa/ like '09-'12 there were actual threads about CCP, footwear, and clothes about the label. You are just too late. And the new age of fashion and newfags have arrived.
>>11465652
Yes, if I remember right it was the video on ccp's official page.
>>11465661
Yes, I'm relatively new here. I never thought an anime imageboard's fashion board actually discussed fashion, I just didn't take this place seriously. (I only came to 4chan for porn) And who cares about this board's past anyway? I'm just wondering why people don't talk about other kind of clothing NOW, /rog/ threads are decent so I was wondering why not ccp or other good labels?
>>11465661
oh, also I have nothing against "the new age of fashion and newfags" I'm happy to wear a1923, ma+ or whatever while other people wear streetwear hypebeast clothes and trendhop, it makes me feel more "unique". And now because high and avant fashion is now "mainstream" some good people who actually care about clothes and can ignore all the "streetwear" shit can leak into artisanal brands and can then appreciate them better and support them too.
>>11465673
>>11465705
No I get you. Try SZ it's more of what you are looking for.
Really love the Givenchy Tysons from a few seasons ago with the gold plate on the strap. The leather is smooth as butter.
>>11465185
most overrated shit of all time

its like a slightly less tacky version of buscemis and zanottis

>>11465621
because this is a sneaker thread you mong. that being said ccp object dyed derbies have been my grail for the longest time. his outerwear are some of my favs too but i'd never wear them

Are cdg play x converse any good for girls?
>>11466178
Are you upset I called you out on your nigger tier taste? Sure seems like it. Maybe this website isn't for you, you're supposed to be 18+.
>>11466137
> >>11465189 is ann demeulemeester
It's not that difficult to walk on ccp drips, it just feels kinda springy, the drips wear out in no time and the sole feels normal after some wears.
>>11466185
they are never good for anyone
unless you want to look like a tasteless hypebeast who buys anything with a designer logo slapped on it
>>11466201
b-but the logo is so cute
>>11464903
What're the sneakers in the middle?
>>11466185
If you can get em for <= $100 go for it. There's nothing wrong with em, especially if you're on a budget
>>11466210
Raf Simons Velcros
>>11466185
Yes, if you like them and can afford them there's no reason to not buy them.
>>11466201
this is kinda true but if you buy the normal converse ones you will be wearing a logo anyway, if i had to choose between normal converse branding and cgd play branding I would choose cdg.
again, buy if you like them
oh btw if you don't like branding just get shoes like pottery, their branding is more subtle

The creasing on Adrians is always so horrendous lmao
>>11464903
You're no better than the norms. You're just richer, that's all. Because everytime these 'decent patrician shoes' being brought up, it's always these shoes. Always. Glamourism is never creative. You lost the battle against the creative tumblr slackercore youth. Look at their ideas, photos, etc. Much more mind-challenging than your everyday Vogue style artsism
>>11466834
It's like comparing Zayn Malik to Zachary Cole Smith.

All the most creative and patrician artists and musicians always dress like us. Poor looking, dirty, looks like we don't care about it, cheap, different, just, making us look like we're intelligent and always use high words, not just rich and Vogue-reading pseudointellectual.
>>11466816
I think you're the "fuckboy", they don't even resemble geobaskets, nobody can be that stupid to think geos and that are alike.
But I agree with their lack of creativity and originality, they're a rip off of a1923 sneakers.I shouldn't have googled his name, it disgusts me.
>>11466834
sh-shut up-p stupid poorfag ;_;
>>11466426
if anything they look like ann demeulemeester ripoffs
>>11466852
haha, complaining about someone ripping off a1923 when half of Simone's 'designs' are ripoffs of Altieri, Poell, and Amadei
but seriously, Kearns does his own thing. That's a classic as fuck silhouette based on basketball shoes and combat boots and no one has a monopoly on distressed leather.
>>11466902
nah not really, that toebox, outsole and tongue is straight geobaskets
>>11466908
toebox is pretty standard and comes from the last you use
outsole is just a piece of crepe, which Rick didn't invent
midsole is just a piece of rubber that has been double stitcked for security
tongue looks nothing like geos except that it extends above the upper of the shoe
rick just riffed on Nike Dunks and Puma Sky IIs to make the geobasket anyway
I wasn't trying to stir up controversy. Just post shoes you like.
>>11466902
>>11466816
I'm >>11466852 , I don't think they're ann demeulemeester rip offs. They're like a1923 sneaker rip offs combined with ann's designs and a little of rick.
This really makes me sad, the shoes he makes are really well made and he's a nice person, he has talent on shoemaking but it's all a waste because he lacks of originallity and he doesn't have a real image, when I visited his website it looked really bland and generic. Not even mysterious like one of the artisanal brands he's ripping off, what a disappointment.
>>11466919
Not him but the pattern is almost the same as a1923 sneakers (see >>11466920 and >>11466852) but it has a taller shaft and the tongue is kinda rick owens-like or bbs, the laces make it look like ann d, the sole kinda reminds me of ann d too. I don't know why he did that he's supposed to have experience with patterns and he could have easily made a unique shoe... what a waste. but whatever, if people like them there's nothing wrong with that
>>11466931
I dunno. I feel that you're grasping at straws by cobbling together all of these designer tidbits. If each bit of the shoe resembles a different designer how can you make a generalization about the design? Isn't the act of putting together all these various elements with skill also the act of creating something new?
He is self-taught and posted early on in his career on SZ, so obviously he's been influenced by the big artisanal labels. He uses Guidi leather as do most, so no surprises there.
Maybe it's just me but put any of his shoes into a lineup and I could pick them out instantly. I think his style is recognizable enough that I would never mistake his footwear for anyone else's.
Anyway, have something different.
Nonnative Trooper boots.
>>11465185
lmao cum shoes
>>11466987
LOL
what is that stuff really?
>>11466123
Yes, I know "drips" are boring but ccp has other interesting pieces (that are not footwear) and I also know this is a sneaker thread but I don't see his garments posted in other threads (that are not sneaker threads).
>>11465781
Yes I know SZ, I think everybody knows SZ and it's nice to lurk there, there's so much info in that forum but it's dead, it is super slow and like >>11466123 said Faust is a pretentious faggot. I don't get why >>11466123 comes to 4chan, this place is even worse than SZ, /fa/ is like having countless fausts-his knowledge on brands and clothes. (I'm not saying he knows everything but surely he knows more than /fa/)
>>11467002
/fa/ is shit but we dont run around claiming were not
also i will literally sell my left nut for a ccp suit
>>11466981
These are really cool, thanks for posting
>>11467002
I think the reason is just that interest in that darker style of artisanal clothing has already peaked and is waning. So many of the key figures in the movement (Altieri, Poell, Amadei, Horikawa, Zero, Jona, Doma) have started running out of ideas and it's starting to feel stale. Hell, Poell doesn't even produce many new designs anymore.
>>11467011
Yeah, those are one of my favorite takes on the classic military trainer.
More Jap sneakers from Yuki Matsuda.
>>11466969
I respect him as a shoemaker but not as a designer, also it's not that hard to come up with a design like that, anyone with shoemaking skills could come up with shoes like that. His shoes doesn't just resemble other sneakers, they're ripoffs.
I'm not saying his shoes are bad, I didn't say his shoes are not distinguishable from other shoes but i can't stop thinking of his shoes as a1923 bad bootleg sneakers with a resemblance to ann d.
I stay with my a1923, I like his unique leather treatments (and not buying already tanned/dyed leather) but this is funny and kind of ironic, a1923's "only" "original" design is now being ripped off hahaha after a1923 heavily basing his designs on other artisanal brands. I just hope this pushed foward a1923 to make a new sneaker design.
>>11466994
cum greaso
>>11467031
For sure. I see what you mean. I really don't know much about his design experience or his philosophy. Perhaps he was just making a design he was familiar with or maybe he just started with shoes he himself would wear. I definitely hope to see him exploring some new ground in the future.
Also, didn't Simone take his sneaker design from OXS?
nice jil high tops i found on sale
>>11467060
No, he also kinda ripped off ccp (pic related) which are inspired by some army sneakers. Augusta actually improved the design comfort-wise, aesthetics and quality too. Also I think it's ok what Simone did because ccps sneakers were only in one season I think and James is "ripping off" what's already in production. Maybe i'm just biased but Jame's designs remind me of what Zara does to designers, it wouldn't surprise me if i found Jame's sneakers in a Zara store being rip offs of a1923's sneakers.
>>11467013
I don't think artisanal brands (specially ccp) are inetersted in changing their designs every 6 months. Also I don't think they want to keep up with a larger market, they're artisanal brands so they can't mass produce their garments (at least without ruining quality control), many of them are even starting to tell retailers to stop selling online. And some have never been sold online... oh, that reminds me... ccp stopped creating new designs when his right hand left his workshop, ccp's brand came up with his popular designs when that person started working there.
>>11467109
What they produce has little to do with how they produce. Most CCP these days is custom ordered direct from his workshop. My point is just that I haven't seen a groundbreaking design from CCP, Damir Doma, Julius, etc in years. There was a golden age when all these labels were sprouting (around the time Carpe Diem was dissolving) and all these awesome new ideas were appearing on runways. Now those designers have fallen back on their earlier designs, which they release again every year as permanent collection items. That's fine, but there is rarely something new that sets my heart racing like ice crystal bambas or drips did.
>>11467087
I was gonna list CCP as well as Linea, but I couldn't find a pic of those ccp sneaks.
I don't think it's fair to compare Kearns to Zara, especially if you're going to bring a1923 into the mix. I'm not trying to defend intellectual plagiarism, but you can not even remotely say that Simone or Poell came up with what is probably the most classic sneaker design.
>>11467123
Custom orders take more than 1 year to be ready, that's why I think how much they produce has to do with what they produce, I don't think ccp or any artisanal designer wants to have their leather dyed on a random place without themselves making sure of the quality control. But yeah, there's nothing groundbreaking anymore, I still like their new leather treatments and new fabrics haha. I find it funny that ccp now dips everything in latex, even boots, bags and everything he makes.
>>11467132
No, I'm not comparing him to Zara, it's just that his sneakers give me that fast fashion copy feel but maybe that's just me. I think it's different copying classic designs than copying a unique item that's already on the market.
>>11467148
I'm sorry. I forgot a word. I meant that what they produce has little to do with how much they produce. What I mean is that you don't necessarily have to have many stockists or distribute internationally. In fact, much of the allure of these labels is their small runs of production and lack of distribution (see Carpe Diem again).
>>11467155
It was nice to have a real discussion in this shithole. Than you.
>>11467174
Yeah, I appreciate a debate where ideas are exchanged somewhat civilly. Usually hard to do that here.
Anyone got an estimate price on wat a pair of these would cost
>>11466852
those augustas are a direct ripoff of old ccp sneaks lmfao
A better alternative to the Paint gats imo.
>>11467577
probably 850-1100 usd
>>11466426
James Kearns has a pretty recognisable and unique style, idk why everyone is trying to figure out who he is ripping off the most. Maybe because all footwear in this tier has a similar handmade look
>>11467597
something already pointed out
>>11467087
>>11467606
lol ugly christmas shoes

ur a fucking peanut my friend
I'm amazed at the lack of pantina most hender scheme wearers have in western countries vs Japan. Most pics on insta are new/near new condition vs well aged ones.
Navy & gray leather are cool, black kinda feels redundant in a way.
>>11464919
Johnantony still has them.
>>11464943
Ramones, low Ramones, qasas, tech runners, velcro retard shoes.
>>11467081
lmao y would u buy any modern Jil?
>>11466373
how does the suede hold up on these?
>>11466054
Tysons are pretty nice, I'd never wear them though.
>>11464903
What are people's thoughts on KVA multilaces, thinking about copping the all black colorway
>>11466816
I fail to see the resemblance.
>>11464903
Fuck off with your watched grailed items
>>11468515
I'd say bretty good, leather holds up best but the inner material gets darkened with time/age/wear and the outer suede on my black pair become roughened but still premium.
The suede on the black pairs look montonic at first and blend with the leather but after several wears, it lightens/loses dye and then becomes more whiter/bluer in my opinion
Could be the same with the white pair becoming more or less grey, correct me if I'm wrong anyone
>>11465673
If I'm not wrong earlier this year (maybe last year) there was a string of "Avant-garde general" threads. Shame it died out so quickly.
>>11464903
>>11465025
love how rafs and 1st gen geos are still a meme on here like 4 years later. how many of these are even in circulation?
How bout some actual nice shoes?

mmm these are probably my favorite boots. close second is SLP meme wyatts. would love to find some alexander fielden shoes too
>>11465621
CCP doesn't really get any attention here. Anyway my favorite shoes of their are the drip derby's.
>>11465189

Damn thats neat
>>11468513
>implying Rodolfo hasn't done a good job taking over the brand
nikka he was one of the main designers of Prada womenswear for 10 years
some of you guys are too quick to hate on designers that take over houses just because you've never heard of them, I mean is it really that different than someone like raf taking over jil or slimane taking over Dior, sure he might not be as well known as those two but imo he's done a better than jil did when she came back after raf and so far his stuff has been pretty spot on apart from one or two collections
not to mention they are a lovely pair of shoes
Would like some opinions on these 4 that are in the regular rotation. This pic doesnt dl the navy floral ones justice those pop tf off out in public esp in the sun l.
Obviously ignore the adidas, puma, and polo
>>11467840
When did I ever say no color?
I just think the shoes are ugly.
No need to get all defensive, doggy.
>>11467659
Mostly this >>11467842
Cinzia's rick ripoffs are super blatant and steal design details that are uniquely Rick's
Kearns just does a basic sneaker design that happens to resemble other basic sneaker designs
