CCP Drip Shoes: luxury that breaks the mold

Carol Christian Poell‘s hand has always been known for going beyond the limits imposed by conventional fashion. What a better way to break the mold than to create apparently worn and dysfunctional clothing? This is the case of the new U-Jack Prosthetic Sneakers, the latest Drip Shoes model belonging to a collection that had been in circulation since 2011.

The Austrian designer has indeed fought against the concept of collection since its beginning, preferring to focus his attention on individual articles separately. Escaping the seasonal launch by which the fashion world is structured, CCP brand stands for freedom and non-conformism. Notably nonconformist is the technique usually used to make Drip Shoes. In fact, its name comes from the sole’s “dripping effect” obtained by hand-rubberizing the shoe only after having previously packaged it. This model main feature is being garment dyed. Therefore it’s possible to highlight the deteriorated appearance of which the model is already representative thanks to the plasticized stalactites that disappear after use.

Made with kangaroo leather, a prosthetic ankle and an unusual U-shaped folding sole, the U-Jack Prosthetic Sneakers are perhaps meant to be the “anti-fashion” trend of the moment. What do you think about it?
