If black scissors stuff shouldnt be allowed due to copying dior, then how comes Raf Simons Vandal boots are ok if they're just copying nike? cause they cost more?

if they're called that for no reason I'd be suprised. similar toe edging, shape and velcro strap.

Your right the design is very similar, but I wouldn't say that RAF shouldn't be allowed to do it, they have just taken the foundation design. It's up to the customer whether they want to pay the inflated price.

I think the whole blackscissors thing is played out enough now… obviously some people on here have a problem with the whole idea, but for the quality/price/service and considering they are custom made, you can't go wrong.

87, i dont think he was talking about the price, rather than the design copy of the shape

As a lover of both CDG and Vuitton, I think the collab will yield piss poor results. Would love it if there was one really nice piece tho. I loved the Murakami collab. Not the one pictured but the monogram with the manga style bears on.

im not sure, im only guesing that they arent actauly called vandals but its something oki ni do all the time, for example, i bet these arent actually called 'allstar hi top sneakers'.
i have only ever known raf footwear to fit true or big so i would be surprised if thy came up small to be honest mate

Just because I love the individual brands, it doesn't mean I have to instantly think a combination of the two is mind blowing. Just look at the bags on Hypebeast. I think if they let Rei Kawakubo loose on the LV monogram it will just be a little too much. I would like to see a collabo with the Play line as it's a little more toned down.

Reckon that might be a sound investment with everyone saying that artwork is one of the most secure things you can put money into currently and what Murakami's pictures are going for at auction at the moment. Obviously not if you actually use it.

@fan - as opposed to just sticking a load more handles on a speedy?
