Carol Christian Poell "Prosthetic" Titanium Eyelet Boots (AM/2687P)
Product Overview A definitive masterpiece of avant-garde cordwaining, the AM/2687P "Prosthetic" boots represent the pinnacle of Carol Christian Poell’s material experimentation. Known among collectors as the "Titanium Boots," this model integrates medical-grade titanium inserts directly into the leather construction, blurring the line between orthopedic support and high-concept footwear. This specific pair in the CORS 33 (Horse Leather) leather code features one of the most coveted dye treatments in the CCP archive.
Key Design Elements
Titanium "Prosthetic" Eyelets: The defining feature of the "P" series, featuring industrial titanium hardware that creates a radical, aggressive silhouette. The "Titanium eyes" offer a structural intensity unique to the brand.
CORS 33 / Light Grey Gradient: Crafted from high-grade horse leather, the dyeing is exceptionally executed. It features a "true light grey" with natural tonal gradients, showcasing the depth and unpredictability of CCP’s object-dyeing process.
Artisanal Texture: The uppers retain the original factory "distressed" texture, with subtle scarring and organic imperfections inherent to the raw horsehide.
Sculptural Last: Features the iconic, sleek CCP last—revered for its narrow, anatomical shape and dramatic toe-box curvature.
Measurements & Fit Note
Tagged Size: CCP 10
Fit Profile: Due to the internal architecture and slim last, a CCP 10 typically fits a true EU 44 to 45. The prosthetic inserts provide a rigid, secure lock-down unlike any standard leather boot.
