I'be seen alot of poeple on here say Common Projects are not worth it for the price, or just bad. What are some other shoes around the same price with a similar aesthetic?

They are worth it for the price

I hate to be that guy but most of the people that say they're not worth the money can't afford them. I could say that a 20k bespoke suit is a rio off, but that's irrelevant because I'm not in a position to purchase one anyway

i mean, there's 400 copies of these simple white shoes in this exact style ranging from $20-$400

save your money for something you can't get a pleb carbon copy of.

I feel like cps sorta set the standard for a simple white shoe in a lot of peoples eyes. Ive searched forever for a shoe that would match up, but theres always something missing in design or quality

>> No.12153879

>>12153854
People who say they're not worth the money don't feel its necessary to buy basic sneakers for 400. There are so many sneakers worth buying around price range

>there's 400 copies of these this exact style ranging from $20-$400
no, there's not. there's some that look similar, but none with a silhouette quite as sleek with nice construction

the point of a designer item isn't necessarily that it's entirely unique, because eventually lesser brands will make imitations. it's that for the money, you are getting the exact perfect variant of what you want. CPs are the definitive minimalist white sneaker.

Everyone will say you're a cuck wearing any white shoes (gats, stan smiths, converse) anyways

They go on sale or are on grailed, so if you can get them for around 220, i'd say they're worth it

Caleb's guide to white low tops (2016)

Best Achilles Low alternatives:
These is going to be the best in terms of 1:1 to cps.
If you really want cps tho just save up and check grailed a lot.

If only they had a "normal" store like everyone else and made them available for other resellers to sell, these would definitely be more popular.
