Knockoff Ninja #47 - Jeffrey Campbell "Coltrane"




Jeffrey Campbell "Coltrane" in Black Distressed available at Farfetch ($161.60), Jildor Shoes ($180.00), Karmaloop ($184.00), Nasty Gal ($185.00), Nordstrom ($199.95)



Wild Diva Lounge "Credence-11" in Black available at Make Me Chic ($32.90), UrbanOG ($33.20), Go Jane ($35.10)

I'm going to be totally honest here, I ordered these the same day I came across them. I've been waiting SO LONG for a quality, affordable Coltrane/Balenciaga dupe, and these are about as good as they're gonna get! I ADORE the creeper sole, probably way more than the original chunky rubber heel! I'm expecting these tomorrow, so I'll definitely append this post with a detailed review right after I get 'em :D

The Credence-11 is also available in a GORGEOUS Oxblood! GO GET SOME!

EDIT 7-26: Got 'em! They look great in person, and appear to be great quality. Both buckles are adjustable, which is good because they felt a little loose at first, even on my slightly wide feet. True to size. Really stoked to wear them out!




Happy shoe shopping!

Knockoff Ninja #46 - Jeffrey Campbell "Succession"



Jeffrey Campbell "Succession" in Black/White exclusive to Karmaloop SOLD OUT! (retailed $215.00)


Gabina in Black/White available at Make Me Chic ($58.00), AMI Clubwear ($66.99)

Super close, almost identical. My only gripe is that the platform isn't hidden/covered! GAH! If not for that, this shoe would *almost* be an exact replica. Still, good news for people looking for the now sold out Succession who are willing to compromise a bit.

I don't actually care for these too much, but they were way too close to not do a write up! I love the Damsel base to death, but not really in the form of an athletic-esque shoe.

Do you dig 'em?

Knockoff Ninja #45 - Taylor Says "Sharkie"








Taylor Says "Sharkie" in Grey available at Heels ($199.99)







Shark Pumps in Grey available at GoJane ($34.90), UrbanOG ($35.40)



I find it SO HILARIOUS that I had this post sitting in my drafts for about a week, and all of the sudden Kat Von D posts an Instagram of her wearing these shoes (and it looks like they run a bit big!). The DUPES, though, not the Taylor Says ones! How crazy! Imagining Kat Von D buying shoes that cost less than $100 makes me feel funny inside <3

If it were up to me to choose just by the facial expression of the shark, I'd pick the dupes, too. He looks more angsty and I love it :D

These also come in mint and a light peachy pink! Snatch 'em up before KvD's rabid fans do!

Happy shoe shopping!

Knockoff Ninja #44 - Jennifer Chou "Carmelo"






Jennifer Chou "Carmelo" in Neon Pink available at Solestruck ($99.95)



Privileged "Drama" in Pink available at Make Me Chic ($90.00), Bdonnas ($90.00), UrbanOG ($90.00), Go Jane ($91.00)

Privileged's version is most definitely inspired by Jennifer Chou's "Carmelo", but a little something is lost in the liberties taken with that middle strap. I don't really care for it. But the rest of the shoe is gorgeous! I wouldn't wear these myself, but I feel like someone out there will love 'em to death :D

Happy shoe shopping!
