Started last year, the Creative Recreation Collection is the Italian handmade high-end luxury line of CR Footwear. While this year’s collection features some interesting silhouettes atypical of the brands’ typical design, the wrinkled-leather Turino is by far our favorite. While we’re finding some of the design cues similar to that of Common Projects, we can’t help but love the smooth Italian leather uppers, the hidden laces and Goodyear welt construction, which allows for a constant flow of air to flow through the sneaker. Whether or not we’d drop the cash for these, or just go with a pair of CP’s, you do have to applaud Creative Recreation for a successful release. The entire Collection is available at Barneys.
