What model are those?

>>8632073

File: common-projects-achilles-raw-1.jpg

probably one of the models when they just started out

i like the sole on these

>>8632105

i pretty much have that same colorway but they are "vintage high mids"

Anyone have any pics of their early models? Like 2004-2008.

>>8632116

only other pair I have are these white achilles mids

Wish they still made these vintage bball high's

i have enough to spare for some cps right now and i need a pair of black leather lows

but i'm too scared to pull the trigger
spending 280 squid on a pair of trainers just seems shameful

>>8632143
If you don't think it's worth it then don't go for it

>>8632143

cps are cheap compared to some shoes people buy on here

>>8632073
They look like tournament highs to me.

>>8632064

I'm looking forward to buying a pair of black ones real soon!

>>8632143
it's obviously too much for you so don't bother, if you don't want to spend a lot on your clothes you're on the wrong image board though

>>8632184

CP sure has made some interesting designs.

>the feels when I'm not a manlet so any /fa/ approved shoe isn't made in my size

>>8632192

>>8632192

yeah, I really liked this design but I just thought I would look fucking whack in them. looks like the sole is made out of one of those marbled vinyl records

>>8632195

>>8632199

>>8632196
why not just get a pair of these then? I own 'em and they're really comfy

>>8632205

yeah they are pretty nice, i was thinking about these too

>>8632105
any idea where I can cop these

>>8632306
s/s 2011 so probably nowhere

I was thinking about CP yesterday actually.

When they first came out they were a lot cheaper than they are now, and nowadays they put out so many colourways and different models than the normal Achilles and Chukkas they started with, and the price is pretty extortionate.

I just think it's funny seeing as they're made in sweatshops now.

[citation needed]

>>8632355
I think their standard sneakers used to have not as good leather and glued soles before

>>8632366
Look at the demand they have, there's no way a 70 year old Italian artisan cobbler could make them. They employ arab and black immigrants in Italy.

>>8632367
I have a 8 year old pair of chukkas and I can say the sole is stitched. I've seen some pretty bad leather on recent CP shoes, especially the derbies

>>8632375
>Look at the demand they have, there's no way a 70 year old Italian artisan cobbler could make them. They employ arab and black immigrants in Italy.

that's not evidence

>>8632380
How do you think they are made then?

>>8632384

by a sage a top a spire in a gothic italian castle of course

What's the deal with those jew-tattoo shoes?
I see them everywhere and for their casual look, they are pretty expensive

>>8632193
Cp's go up to size 13, if you feet are bigger than that GG you're way too tall.

>>8632196
got these in lows, they're fucking goat

>>8632475
Is the sole as marvelously luxurious looking in real life?

>>8632176
Me too bro, me too

>>8632176
just when I thought you couldn't get any more basic

I'm thinking about buying a pair of cp's. I just don't know what size I would wear. If I wear an 11 in converse, what size should I get in cp's?

>>8632196
I picked up these for $200 a month ago. The dark sole is actually really nice. Looks great with earth tones.

>>8632105
Ive got these in like a real dark blue. A bit aged and some scuffs but still my favorite pair of shoes.

If i had the money i'd buy the same pair brand new with a fresh pair of all white achilles.

>>8632073
I am preetty sure they are tournament highs

>>8632082
I do not think that filename is correct, unless they are no longer called tournament highs

the only cp models that matter are

achilles low and mid (especially in light gray)
old bball hi (new ones look like imitation pierre hardys)
tournament low and mid

everything else is either fashion victim tier or another brand does it better

>>8632799

43 unless your feet are wide, if so then 44

liked this most
black was even better

>>8632184
I like it.

>>8633427
nice 400$ clarks, anon

lel just repeating what you saw in the last thread right? nobody thinks that some 70 year old guy is cobbling cps and nobody had any proof that they were made in 'sweatshops' or by shitty immigrants, it is all retarded speculation

also just bought a pair of achilles lows and i am loving them so far

>>8632064
>mfw cp fanboys always rave about how they have no branding
>mfw they have that dumb as fuck serial code in *gold* lettering
>mfw i have no face

stay dumb cp faggits. i wear stan smiths and no1 can tell the difference

>>8632202
Holy shit that's GOAT

>>8633494
stan smiths looks like shit

>>8633494
>>8633504
>no1 can tell the difference

+true fa/ anons wearing clothes for themeselves to feel good
and not for anyone to notice

>>8633494
gold lettering fades in like 5 wears

>>8633529
that's bullshit
I've seen people with perfect sole 'common projects' lettering after they wear it for a while
mine started fading like after 1 wear
but lettering is perfect
it wont fade unless you're rubbing it against something constantly or you wear it for like 5 years

>>8633535
I meant the inner lettering

and the side lettering

>>8633494
I like the numbers

>>8633494
>no1 can tell the difference
well that's great if you wear your clothes for other people. and if you are that vain, people don't have to know about your shoes to think they look good. stan smiths usually get comments from older people that wore them when they were younger and shit while cps just get stares

and regardless of whether other people can tell the difference.. how the fuck cant you? the cps make the ss silhouette look like a clown shoe. i love my stans but they are not on the same level as cps at all

>>8632184
>>8632191

dat subtle gum sole.

shit is fire right there, on God.

>cps

Cheap, boring, uninspired

>>8634284
shut up white boy

>>8634289

I personally dig the cheap, boring, uninspired look.

I for one can't pull off Geobaskets/Raf Boots/Margiela Space Defender Hi's/AF1s.

>>8633587

To be honest, precisely in that pic cps look more like a clown shoe to me.
