Knockoff Ninja #21 - Jeffrey Campbell "Damsel Spike"

Jeffrey Campbell "Damsel Spike" in Black available at Solestruck ($189.95), Envi Shoes ($209.95)

Vintage "Berkeley-02" in Black available at AMI Clubwear ($40.99), ZooShoo ($46.00)

Every week, I have a particular shoe I'm lusting after and keep adding to my shopping cart and just letting it sit there until I make up my mind (or the best coupon code rolls around). The Berkeley-02s are this week's obsession. Now, all things considered, these really aren't that bad. While the height appears to be about an inch and a half off, the overall shape is basically the same. The sparse studs leave a little bit to be desired, but I can't think of a reason why you couldn't stick a few more in there to even it out. And if I can say one thing from experience about the brand "Vintage", it's that their faux leather is super high quality. Just wish these were taller!

So, what do you think? Yay or nay?

Knockoff Ninja #20 - Ash "Dean"

Ash "Dean" in Black/Silver Studs available at Solestruck ($384.95)

Bamboo "Italo-01" in Black available at YCMC ($39.99), GoJane ($41.80), UrbanOG ($43.90), Make Me Chic ($44.60)

These beauties were brought to my attention by my friend Chivahn, who has been mercilessly obsessing over them for what seems like months. I finally thought I'd try to track down a decent replica, and came across Bamboo's "Italo-01". Not too bad! I'm even considering a pair for myself since they add an effortless 'edge' and look so comfy. Not to mention there is no way in HELL I can afford the Dean's near $400 price tag! The studs are similarly placed (albeit lacking the random round studs) and the straps are pretty close. The only huge difference I can see is the heel and sole, which is shorter in the replica and also brown instead of black, and the overall height of the Italo-01 is shorter. But really, not bad. I'll give 'em a B.

What do you think? Are they close enough, or are you still holding out for the real thing?

Knockoff Ninja #19 - Jeffrey Campbell "99 Tie"

Jeffrey Campbell "99 Tie" in Black available at Solestruck ($114.95), Urban Outfitters ($148.00)

City Snappers "Jeanette" in Black available at AMI Clubwear ($27.99), YCMC ($29.99), Barefeet Shoes ($31.99)

Slightly differing shape, but definitely an acceptable copy. AMI Clubwear also has these in Purple/Pink snakeskin, Blue/Green snakeskin and Black woven (unfortunately, these have all sold out!).

Would you rock these?

Knockoff Ninja #18 - Jeffrey Campbell "Dusky"

Jeffrey Campbell "Dusky" in Fuchsia Suede SOLD OUT! However, sizes 6 and 7.5 are available in Nude at Nasty Gal ($188.00 $131.60) :D

"Freda-02" in Fuchsia available at UrbanOG ($45.20), Shiekh Shoes ($54.99)

WOW. How close are these? The Dusky is definitely a hard one to track down these days, especially in Fuchsia. I about died when these dupes showed up at UrbanOG this week! The ankle cuff is the same, the buckles are the same, and the straps at the vamp are the same. The only real difference I can see is in the shape of the wedge, which is far better-looking in a sculpted wedge, in my opinion. I dunno about you guys, but I think I'm in love, here!

Sound off in the comments!
