I love Gucci but most of their shoes aren't original either.
Slip-on = Vans, hi-tops = Chucks.
If you want something original that didn't copy any brands, get Prada A-Cups.

I don't know, here in SoCal, A-Cups are still pretty rare.
My guess is they sell well because I do see them run out at stores but it's still not common.
At least when you have a pair of A-Cups, no one would suspect your wearing nother brand.
Yeah, fakes are everywhere but so far so good in my area, I don't think i've seen much if any.
Even the Fila rip-offs aren't too common here.

funny....speakin of prada a cups, when i first bought the black/silver mesh hi pradas i thought that was the most id ever spend on a sneaker in my life.
I think you can get those lanvins at barneys. They might have had them on sale not sure.

edit: good look rfx, wont find none in my state though anyways,

They shouldn't be too hard to find in-store.
The Barneys in Rodeo Drive are flooded with Lanvins.
I believe the Bottega Veneta's as well.
Out of all the stores though, including Nordstrom, Saks and Neiman Marcus, Barneys are the only ones that carries both brands.

Same with the Barneys here in San Francisco...they have a good selection of lanvins. I actually saw alot of Lanvins on sale during the Barneyssale, but not sure if the one lurkin posted was there or even on sale.

I aint tryin to attacks no one, I'm just keeping it as 100% as possible as I see it.
I appreciate rfx for recognizing it as such, cause I mean I dragged everyone of on a tangent, but I think the point made by both sides give good insight (minejust more
)
And I'm gonna ho head and stay on my tangent, this time tre you get to be my target. As far as the whole quality thing goes alotta owmen say LV becausetheir purse/luguage.accessory driven brand has more feminine appeal. To me the best quality judgement comes from actually having experience with the garments.I can TELL you the skies red, that don't make it so.. To me they both are of great quality, but clothes wise I don't feel you can just take it as lawoffa ya mamma's words in passing. Not to say you all don't have wonderful beautiful moms.
And as far as the prada game goes out here on the east especially in NY/north jersey pradas were "played out" (read: pretty common) back in like 03before there were even fakes available like that.
And besides they look like alien shoes, but then again that reflects on MY PERSONAL tastes and brings me to what I'd love to see retroed 1. The Jay-z af2lookin guccis highs in blk white 2. The LV desert boots 3. The original s.carter guccis highs and lows 4. All three additonal colors of the gucci classic bootsthat come in blk mesh with the strap (tan/brown suede)(saks exclsuive brown mongrammed leather) (saks exclsive black monogramed leather)

those were my lanvins and BV's...
as for lanvin, you can get them at barneys... retail is $860 for the strapped highs, but they do have 1-day F&F sale where you can get 40% off.
i picked up those bottega veneta highs at the BV store on rodeo, haven't seen them anywhere else.
hope that helps.
