This is beyond designer inspired Forever 21 crap. This is pure intellectual plagirism.

Aldo has copied CL to a T!!

This pair of Bal shoes reminds me LEGO.

That one isn't as big of a deal as the peep toe, lace up booties that he made an even closer replica of.

I haven't seen the Bal shoes, but I am not a fan of the Steve Madden ones. At all. Waaaaay too much going on with those.

I thought the was the entire premise of the Steve Madden line: to make little replicas of designer shoes

steve madden or bal... i think they're hideous either way

I love these shoes so much. It is so sad to see designers being ripped off in this way. I read an article in Februarys issue of Radar Magazine about forever 21 and how there whole business is built on designer "INSPIRED" garments. You mean intellectual property theft and cheaply made KNOCKOFFS! Pisses me off to think i could potentialy become famous for a design only to have it stolen.

Cheap knockoff.

Take it easy, it's just a shoe.

I don't like those shoes regardless of who makes them.

 

[blueeyez259]

Just not feelin them regardless...original Balenciaga or knock-offs

 

[Carmen82]

I saw those too! I can't believe he would copy such a unique design even though he is known for copying other designer's looks.

It's just a shoe? This is the purse forum; you may as well say, "It's just a bag."

 

[sunnibunni]

it's really not just about the shoe. it's about the plagiarism and blatant illegality of it. i don't like the shoe either way, but that doesn't mean i'm not still angered by it.
