Everything takes inspiration from something else, but there is a certain line before it gets a bit embarassing. Of the four companies, I'd say that Common Projects and Buttero have the more original ideas.

I think my B&N sneakers are my new favorite (I believe they're the same sole?), then W+H, then Buttero, then CP.
