    Interesting yes, beautiful no. This could be another CCP trap – like the finger gloves or what have you –, regretable and laughable in a few years time. (»Oh, did I wear that in the 10's?!«) That said, go for it!

        Whats wrong with you?

        can't you realize I am using the word "beauty" in a figurative sense.........
        which is to say they are attractive/ appealing in the same way you use the word "interesting".
        Also, I don't think they are a trap,..........if you know me and know my purchases, you know I like what I like and only buy what I like regardless of who made it.
        They are nothing compared to the finger only gloves, they are a practical, pragmatic shoes you can wear, that so happens to have been dipped in latex which wears away over time...............

          to be honest i'm not a big fan of most ccp's work, but design aspect. i fell in love with the groil trainers.you have to hold it, examine the the work. the materials used, but as always to each is own .

            those shoes are really not good, or beautiful, or even practical (compared to say hiking boots that cost £150). they well fugly. although i can sort of appreciate the materials etc too (fancy clothes used to be called "pieces" which was bad enough; now they are called "works".....), since i did buy a pair once (and then returned them back from whence they came)

                by whatever criteria you came to this conclusion we could argue that 95% of most of us wardrobe would fall into the same category of "not good/ ugly/ impractical", if not by us at least by most of the world population......
                i know no one in my immediate family or friends who would spend $1K+ on a pair of shoes/ boots so I don't think we can even argue along those lines............
                Some people like them, some don't

                I like them because I'm not particularly a sneaker guy, and the single color along with the drip make them interesting enough for me to want to wear.................at a certain point most of what we buy has no real practmatic/ practical considerations cause if thats the case we might as well look for the cheapest/ well made item for whatever need we are seeking to purchase something..........and dont have two of any thing that can serve for the same end use.

                The only barrier for me with these is the price tag cause I wouldn't spend the same amount on sneakers (regardless of what they are) as I would on boots....................and as for me, I don't go hiking, so I wouldn't own hiking boots

                            Zam, please resize those photos. They are too big. It's very easy to do in imageshack - there is a drop down menu for size adjustment.

                                "Nirvana", that is the fading of all the tensions, can also be called "death" - as some famous psychoanalyst said once.



                                So, one of the tension in CCP's work would be between eros and thanatos. And should emphasize that the macabre effect is only a part of the tension, and not it's only end. I really like as well that you see eros as conflict, which is very true imo.

                                Noticed recently, while some woman was trying CCP female pieces that the invisiseam/chainseam (or any kind of open seam) is as well based on a the tension between continuity and discontinuity. These seams are paradoxical, since they don't hide the gap, they show it. But not in a static, loose - and lazy - way, but in dynamic one, where the movements of the body, the skin and the muscles are involved. And I would say that's why I find the invisiseam more interesting than the chainseam, even though they achieve almost the same effect.
                                there is a 2010 version of "syndactyly glove" ( the zipper detail is something btw ) that could quietly be associated with the swirling of life and death. the design implies the process of fingers' division where death as apoptosis is evoked for life and its function.
                                like some designers speak of nature or the universe with their floral designs, he also speaks of it in his own way.
                                maybe rather than its typically beautiful aspect, its magic,
                                the mysterious, and sometimes the unfathomable ( "speaking of the hidden by means of the hidden" )...
