The structure is a simple noun of uncertain origin, possibly a shortening of "creepers" (soft soled shoes) or from "creps" as a brand name, used mostly in the plural "creps." It is used in British Multicultural London English (MLE) and UK slang to mean trainers or sneakers, especially stylish or expensive ones. People typically say "Nice creps" or "I just bought new creps." The term originated in early 2000s London street and grime culture, within sneakerhead and youth fashion communities, and remains common in UK slang.
