Did you catch the new Topman footwear leak this week? It features a sneaker that looks strangely similar to a Creative Recreation Dicoco Hi. Hmmm. Topman, we love you, but come on, this is not fair. You can’t just copy a sneaker and put it on sale for cheap. Creative Rec has a brand identity, and while they might not be big enough to come at you with a team of snarling lawyers, that doesn’t mean you can go in and take its designs.
All sneaker companies get ripped off (ever see fake AF1s in the hood?), but when a big company does it, it just looks bad. Hit the jump for other brands who have produced strangely similar kicks to Creative Rec. Yup, we see you…

BRAND: TOPMAN
SINCE: 1978
HOME BASE: UK
WHY WE COSIGN: Think of Topman as a hybrid of the best UNIQLO, H&M and runway fashion have to offer. The prices aren’t so cheap, but you’re getting looks you’d see at fashion week without having to pay an absurd amount of money for them. Besides the cleaned-up pieces, Topman is also known for its well-stocked vintage clothing section, a category that most other high-fashion retailers are scarce in. Topman also just released its pastel-colored ’80s rock-inspired collection designed by Antony Price that boasts tones that are perfect for the spring season.
WHAT’S NEXT: Topman is releasing its White T-Shirt collection next week. The Topman team hooked up with proven designers like Richard Chai, Phillip Lim, Christopher Shannon, Juun J, JW Anderson and Henry Holland for a well-rounded range that features some of the sickest t-shirts of the season. The collection will drop on May 28th on topshop.com and at the Topman London and New York flagship stores.
WHERE TO FIND IT: topman.com
