pierre hardy slumming with the gap

[Guest jmatsu]

but i will probably kop.

[Guest jmatsu]

Though there hasn't been word of Pierre Hardy's shoes for Gap showing up in stores yet (the launch date is Thursday, March 6th), the footwear appears to be available online now. Three styles of the eleven promised have surfaced on Gap.com—Mary Jane flats ($98), sandal flats ($78) and three-strap platforms ($98). Strangely enough, the site doesn't mention Hardy, instead branding the shoes as part of their Design Editions initiative.

[broneck]

wow, those boots look aiight.

[Bona Drag]

but i will probably kop.

them sand jawnz look aight 2

[Servo2000]

The gap winter collection is actually looking really nice. There's a few women's pieces I might pick up and have "masculined."

[headcoat]

Those boots look just like this F/W's Ann D boots.

[Hella Hyphy]

where do these drop

flagship stores?

[Guest jmatsu]

i kinda wanted the combat boots, but fuck 3bills. i ain't paying that for something associated with the gap. would pay maybe 2 max.

[who8mahrice]

When these drop I can get them for 30% off. Get at me then if you want a pair.

[chronoaug]

srsly. I know kunk was saying he was thinking of a pair, but how many people can bring themselves to get 3hun gap shoes? Both shoes are pretty expensive considering the women's shoes are reasonable. I mean, if those boots are too expensive for us, what the hell is the typical gap customer going to think? Too bad it's a designerXhype type of thing and only at flagships or else they might make sales like everything else gap sells.

The store at West Edmonton Mall (formerly world's largest) seems to get most stuff, and then it gets marked down to mere dollars. If they were to get these, I honestly think they would stick around to about 50 bucks.

i have a lot of gap tees and shit and the quality is acceptable. that said, if brand snobbery doesn't drag you down, you can get the same kind of boots from kenneth cole for $150 or camper for a bit more.

i tried on some ann d shit at c21 and it was shit. i'm starting to think quality is a bunch of bunk, outside of suits, proper dress shirts and proper dress shoes.

[chronoaug]

I mean, you can waltz into any barneys coop and pick up creative officine or buttero for similar price to gap which is just kinda weird to me. I'm not imagining them to look stellar in person either. Hopefully they look/feel nice since the shape is solid. Then again, i'm not really in the market for combat boots. If i was, these might be worth looking into

i would like to state, for the record, that kenneth cole shoes are pure and utter crap. and i'd reckon boots like that would be more in the 200+ range. actually, the only good thing involving kenneth cole boots is the episode of the sopranos in which tony's russian mistress gets her fake "laig" stolen by his sister and is complaining about losing her calf skin kc kneehigh.

you base your judgment of a brand by the product that ends up at a discount store? is that really sensible?

that said, the women's shoes pictured above look much nicer.

[kunk75]

oh yeah, i forgot about ann d's discount store only line which uses shitty fabrics. fuck are you talking about? same shit whatever you pay for it.

same until i saw the price. $300 sounds a bit outlandish for gap. when was the last time anything of theirs retailed for that much? i can't think of anything.

[mrip]

the black boots would be better with out the cap toe

[geekbonchic]

Spoke with someone from corporate and was told that these will be done in smaller runs than previous limited editions. Apparently the higher-ups were not pleased to see how much stuff survived to sale time and is trying to put a stop to it.

[polishmike]

here is another picture (where you can barely see the shoes)

they are coming out at the end of the month

[lucky_cloud]

i dunno. i want some desert boots, but I doubt I want those desert boots. could cop clarks for the same price.

I thought I heard someone mention September 15, but I can't be sure.

[Agnus Dei]

Has anyone seen the combat boots yet?

[sistersuzie]

those women shoes don't appeal me at all.

[CityHunter]

Desert Boots are up:

http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=11903&pid=599098

$178. Get Clarks.

[bonejelly]

post pics, if you get the combat boots!

[~Stangzorized~]

I've seen the desert boots, they are really clean.. slim, sole is thinner.. I like them better than my clarks, but I got my clarks for $80... Gap does have a lot of nice pieces out this winter though.

[nuckabean]

The SA at the Clark's store told me that gap was going to use Clarks on all their mannequins this season. Guess she was wrong.
