Crooks & Castles Footwear 2010 Spring/Summer Collection Preview | Hypebeast

1-10 I give them a 2.5. Nothing original they just smacked their name on some shit. Nothing innovative = not for me.

Yourmama; Alife indeed!!

navy suede chukkas are tits.

Not feeling them, let Gourmet do what they do best…make nice shoes!

can anyone say alife?

Hmm, true say these aren’t very original – but then, they’re classic casual shoes that in my opinion are very wearable. Could rock these with any style for any occasion. So what if they’re not flashy. Seems acceptable as long as they don’t try charging premium prices for em.

I think the idea of having your own brand seems self fulfilling. You’re tired of all the same shit and you really think you can make a difference by bringing something new to the market. Apparently this is not what Crooks was thinking.

i would not pay more than $70 or $80 for these

…Yawn….

Not too many clothing companies can do footwear right. Crooks does it right though.

I hate crooks and castles so much. They’re just beating a dead horse with this shoe stuff. It all looks like gourmet designs or common projects but worse. They’re not even putting their spin on it. It’s just a straight copy. So whack it hurts.

Weak, im so glad see more chukka rips, this is beyond a joke. This is what happens to brands that have intial sucess, then develope their product range, but are too afraid to do anything creative, and water there products down, so they dont loose there customer base.

finally a grown up look.

Not bad at all.
Really liking the low cut ones, chukkas look ok but those shots make them look all weird and floppy. Can’t complain about stitched soles.

sexy shoes, kinda reminds me of common projects, but these have their own style. these soles are popping up everywhere. i think some company in France makes the soles for many footwear companies.

SERIOUSLY….Nas was on point with that hook…..
“No ideas original // aint nothing new under the sun”
Id probably only think about getting the blk pair in the second to last photo….(even tho its an AF1 base)
everything else…..looks like EVERYTHING ELSE from other lines……
When the markets SATURATED with the same thing just with a different tag it becomes wack……C&C please dont OVER SATURATE an ALREADY over saturated market….Its already flooded dont tsunami this too…..

Wow…how uninspiring.
Why even bother releasing this crap.

Same as every other whack line trying to cross over into a full lifestyle brand.
