Chapter and Verse from Mr Carter
So it seems like the dapper Mr Derrick Carter has further designs on our feet!
Not content with making them move and drawing them onto dancefloors all around the world, he has now launched his own range of footwear.
A line of custom sneakers called Chapter & Verse via AliveShoes in a strictly limited edition of only 100 pairs. AliveShoes is an Italian-based company that allows designers from all over the world to create unique sneaker designs online...
To say this man has a passion for footwear, is to say he quite likes dance music.
Hell this guy can change his shoes four times a day.
When he was interviewed by The Independent away back in October 2011, he was asked if a line of Derrick Carter shoes ever came into existence what would they look like and what materials would they made from?
“For A/W They’d be super premium with classic silhouettes and contrasting soles. Think Oliver Spencer leathers, Prada espadrilles creeper brogue soles, with a Diemme hiking boot styled upper. Or driving mocs with a brick sole. But done so it’s not too garish. For S/S I’m thinking Vans type slip-ons with Maharam & Etro fabrics in crazy cool colours and gum soles. Maybe a few colorful oxfords with slight shading on the different panels. I’m still working on a decent capsule cruise collection though”
As a dear friend of the sub club , I think we must insist that the next time he plays, he does a trunk show of his next collection. I for one would be all over a sneaker in an Etro print!
