Creepers in history

George Cox was a shoemaker based in Northamptonshire, central England. At the end of the Second World War, he created his own models of shoes with an original design, but it was with his son that the brand made a name for itself throughout the world with the launch of the Creepers shoe in 1949 under the Hamilton brand.



It is the followers of the Rockabilly movement, the Teddy Boys, who will appropriate this style of shoes. The originality of the Creepers comes first of all from the wedge sole, sewn in Goodyear assembly and available in three thicknesses: single (3cm), double (5cm) and triple (up to 10cm). They are made mostly of suede or leather, sometimes of imitation leather and the closure is by laces or buckles. Originally black or black and white, Creepers are now available in many colours.

Rockabilly, punk and gothic creepers

It was in his London shop that Malcolm McLaren brought these shoes up to date under the definitive name of Creepers in the 1970s. They were adopted by followers of the Ska, Punk, Skin Head or Rockabilly movements and later by gothic people.



In the 2000s, fashion designers revisited the style, including Yves Saint Laurent, Prada and Chanel. In 2015, Puma teamed up with singer Rihanna to create a new model of creepers.



The Creepers are always made in a handcrafted way and in limited series, l'Antre de Syria has referenced on its shop the most original models in different styles, for men and for women, from the brands Demonia, Steelground or New Rock.
