Jeffrey Campbell Has a $155 Version of Dior’s Sneaker Pump
Ripping off big-name designers is nothing new in the fashion game, and we’re all for affordable takes on runway trends, but Jeffrey Campbell’s take on Dior’s sneaker pump is perhaps a little too similar, even for us.
Right now on Jeffrey Campabell and Nasty Gal’s websites you can buy a sporty $155 pump that is pretty much exactly the same as the shoes that walked down Raf Simon‘s Dior runway for fall 2014. Not only that, but the platform style comes in three, suspiciously Dior-inspired colors: Blue, green and black, yellow and nude, and black and white. Jeffrey Campbell’s sneaker-pump hybrid also features the same patent finish, ankle strap, angular heel and platform sole.

Here are a couple more pictures that prove just how similar the two styles are:
