Platform Patrol: Would You Wear Platform Sneakers?

Преди 162 месеца

Jeepers creepers—platforms are back from the dead according to Prada’s 2011 spring collection. If you didn’t quite catch the shoes at first because of the banana tees and vibrant colors, you definitely heard them stomping down then runway. Prada dubs these puppies “creepers,” which seems appropriate considering they look a little old-men orthopedic. The first thing that came to our minds were the pure white Steve Madden platform sneakers circa the fifth grade. Don’t know what we’re talking about? Just watch an old episode of Two of A Kind starring none other than MK and A. We guess the new wave of these platforms are the sophisticated version? We even aren’t too sure, but you tell us—will you be getting a pair anytime soon? Here is Prada’s Oxford-ified x platform sneaker.

We love us some Jeffrey Campbell but well, we aren’t sure if these have the edge we usually fawn over the heels for. His latest creation, the Sporty Stripe Platform (see what he did there? Sporty stripe, Sporty Spice, Spice Girls, PLATFORMS-you clever man, you).

Jesse Jo Stark, granddaughter of Cher, L.A.’s “anti-it” girl, (even though we want to be her) and known for her edgy style that includes spikes and platforms teamed up with Vans for her very own version of the shoe in which “creepinnn all over you” was scrawled over the lookbook. Here’s a pair we’d totally rock.

No one can ever go wrong with converse, or can they?
