These are from Fall 05-06. they're dark green object-dyed lace-up shoes made out of llama with the orange plastic treatment on the bottom. They're brand new never worn. Extremely rare, considering Carol hardly ever does shoes. I've just never found a time to wear them unfortunately. Bought them summer of 2006 from L'eclaireur in Tokyo.

Brand New

SOLD

size 7 (~US 8-9 / EU 41-42)

3 out of 12 made

heel to toe 31cm probably ~27cm insoles (not removable)

widest part 11cm

Aaaah amazing. These have been my dream shoes after seeing them long ago. Too bad (or good thing) they are too small.

[Calden]

I had a dream about these shoes last year. Which is pretty sad or funny, depending how you look at it. They're in my size too. I need to to think about this for a while. I might have to sell everything else I own and live naked under a bridge with my CCP shoes.

[xcoldricex]

ccp, making your dreams come true. ^

[tangerine]

Unbelievable, I was just telling someone about this exact pair of shoes today; I give coldrice, and this pair of shoes, credit for raising my consciousness. (0)

I share ruach's sentiments regarding the sizing; Calden, your plan has some merit.

ridiculous? why? because you can't afford it?

[MikeN]

what exactly does orange plastic "treatment" entail?

[geekbonchic]

Those shoes make me HUUURT, man.

Like, willing to sell you my first-born.

FIRST-BORN.

the shoes are object-dyed with a deep green, dried, then a laminate was heat sealed on, and then the shoes are redyed which generated a leakage into the laminate. The beautiful part is that as you wear the shoes, the laminate will slowly separate from the leather in stress points and crack and lift off creating different patterns and a very distinct look based on the wearer's foot structure and walking behavior.

[MikeN]

Yeah, but wtf is "object-dyed"? I'm really interested in the process it took to make these shoes. And when you googled it, this thread is the first result! lulz

[Crillz]

"Object-dyed" as in the more costly and hands-on process in which the already manufactured piece of clothing is dyed a color instead of, say, the piece of leather being dyed and then cut and sewn into shoes? I guess it's better, though I certainly couldn't tell you why

[QuilteD]

what would really be interesting is to see a picture of these shoes that have been worn by someone for a while...

[xcoldricex]

well you can buy them and supply them

[fatass]

if you asked me to guess the price based on the pics i'd say it's about 1/10 of your asking....but that's me

[xcoldricex]

you lose at sufu price is right.

[duofold]

I cannot stop looking at the pictures...the shoes are hypnotic.

I'm old - I get more excited by these than porn.
