Knockoff Ninja #11 - ZiGiny "Nevada"

This week we have the ZiGiny "Nevada", which of course is the spiked/studded version of the Giuseppe Zanotti suede wedge.

 

ZiGiny "Nevada" in Black Suede available at Heels ($244.99), ZiGiny ($229.95)

 

Privileged "Dressen" in Black available at Bare Feet Shoes ($24.99)

The heel isn't quite as high, but the studs are dead-on, and also pretty similar to those found on Sam Edelman's "Lorissa". Love 'em!

Knockoff Ninja #10 - Giuseppe Zanotti Heelless Ankle Strap Wedge

Giuseppe Zanotti Heelless Wedge in Black available at Shopbop ($775), Bergdorf Goodman ($775), Neiman Marcus ($775), Ssense ($775)

Privileged "Evvah" in Black Leatherette available at Make Me Chic ($40.00)

Leatherette > suede. Forever. Also, $ > $$$$. At least for me. The shape is obviously a bit off, but again, I dig the Privileged version over the original. I'm all about texture.

What do you think?

Knockoff Ninja #9 - Jeffrey Campbell "Madame"

Jeffrey Campbell "Madame" in Black Suede available at Edge of Urge ($96.00)

Privileged "Rockstar" in Black available at Go Jane ($48.95), Lulu*s ($74.00)

Here's another instance where I like the knockoff better than the JC version. The shape is pretty much an exact match, but the platform on the Privileged version is higher, so that's an automatic win in my book :D Not to mention I've never been too big on suede. Maybe it's just too much with the spikes? Gotta simplify a little bit.

What do you think?
