Sneakers.co.id – Ventela Shoes is a local shoe brand that produces sneakers at relatively low prices but has good build quality. Although the price is relatively cheap, This shoe has a quality that is not inferior to imported shoes. This brand from Bandung started operating in 2017, which was founded by an entrepreneur named William Ventela.
Ventela has provided a variety of shoe models that are synonymous with casual and sporty appearance. The shoes they produce are also very comfortable to wear and are made of quality materials. Coupled with an affordable price, Ventela currently has a relatively large number of fans in Indonesia. Especially now, being echoed to prioritize the use of domestic products.
Even so, This one brand is not without problems in its development. The latest problem is that the shoe models that are issued are considered to be imitating Vans sepatu shoes. As a result, many people who upload photos of the Ventela shoe variant which are considered plagiarism must also be deleted by Instagram. Many Ventela shoe dealers feel that their posts have been deleted due to a complaint from Vans America.
Ventela Shoes Considered Imitating Vans Shoes Model
In May 2020 this, many posts from one of the Ventela variants that were deleted by Instagram. This is because these local brand shoes are considered to imitate the side-line design that is owned by Vans .. The phenomenon of the similarity of local shoe brands is actually not new, many local shoe brands have designs that are very similar to foreign brands.
In the world of mundane shoes it's actually nothing new, we can see Warrior shoes from China which have a design similar to Converse. However, if the resemblance is very identical, of course it is not ethical, even products that are accused of imitating this will actually lose their selling value because they are considered KW.
Vans . side stripe design, or commonly referred to as the Jazz Stripe is a distinct and iconic look that Vans has. It has become the identity of the product issued by the American manufacturer. Therefore, It's only natural that Vans get irritated when other manufacturers copy the identities they already have. The similarity of the stripe is what Vans has questioned about Ventela because it makes shoes with side lines that are fairly similar to those of Vans..
Was the resemblance intentional ? It could be, if we look at Ventela's product called Back to 70's, we'll see that the design of this shoe is very similar to the 1970's Converse Chuck Taylor All Star. These two shoe designs are almost identical, the only difference is the shoe circle containing the star and the words Converse, replaced with a circle containing the Ventela logo.
Not just imitating Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 1970’s, the newly released model by Ventela is Retro 77 also very similar to Vans Old Skool. If we compare the designs of the two, we can see the design is exactly the same. It is just, c also issued a black yellow and red white black variant in addition to the black and white issued by Vans.
Judging from the similarity of the two variants above, then we can no longer avoid that it would be reasonable if Vans felt the product had been tampered with. Ventela has tried to deny this issue by saying that the product design has been registered with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights. It is just, if we see the resemblance we will question the originality of the design.
Until now, many photos selling Ventela shoes on Instagram have been deleted. There was even one merchant account that was closed by Instagram, for selling Ventela products. I myself hope that local shoes can not only imitate the designs of foreign-made shoes. In Indonesia, there should be reliable designers who can make shoes that look different and look cool.
Ventela Shoes Quality
Although it is considered that the design imitates foreign manufacturers, In terms of product quality, Ventela has indeed succeeded in creating quality shoes at affordable prices. Some of the reasons why these shoes are of high quality include the following: ;

Ventela Shoes Model
Ventela has released several variants of shoe models since operating in 2017. Some of these models include the following: :
Ventela Back to 70’s
The design of this shoe is almost exactly the same as the 1970's Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, the only difference between the two is that the Converse logo inside the circle is not replaced with the Ventela logo. In terms of comfort and quality of the shoes offered, actually what Ventela has is no less good. In terms of price is also much cheaper, These shoes can be a good alternative if you have limited funds to buy Converse shoes but want to have a model and quality that is not much different.

For those of you who want to look cool and are not afraid of being criticized for wearing things that are considered KW, Ventela could be the right choice.

These shoes can also be used to work to the office well, because it still has a formal side to it. Only because of its almost exact resemblance to Vans Old Skool,makes wearing these shoes feel less exciting. When other people see it, maybe someone will comment that what we wear are KW goods because we can't afford Vans shoes which are more expensive.
