>random number on shoes
so randum and fashionable lol

NO. overhyped silly shit

>>8639843
question is black or white? im coping this friday dont know which color to get

fairly sure you mean: white sneaker

>>8639860

white, black on black sole is too basic unless you want that.

>>8639860
White with those marble soles.
God damn hawt lava.

>>8639843

I've never understood the appeal of these. They're just regular, overpriced white lowtops that look average on feet.

No one's breaking their necks to look at these anytime soon, are they?

>>8639856

really weak bait

>>8639868
silhouette is gud, gud quality, but i agree with overpriced

>>8639868
Who would break their necks too look at anything that will never go out of fashion ? Nobody.

It's not the most exciting pair of shoes for sure, but OP's point is precisely that because of their aesthetic qualities, these kinds of shoes will always be relevant.

>>8639868
>breaking their necks

we hood now

>>8639866
i already have some white random lows that look alright, dont have any black lows.

>>8639877

why not get these?

le may-may shoes

correct answer. i can see myself still wearing these into grandpa age

as much as i love common projects, the price makes them internet fad/hype.

for something that will never go out of style it should be affordable and easy to obtain.

CPs are still very niche

>>8639874

This is where my question comes in, are you able to justify the price by the "timeless" element or the quality?

>>8639918

>for something that will never go out of style it should be affordable and easy to obtain.

yeah, just like a ferrari, mercedes, maserati, lamborghini, rolls royce, bentley, right?

Vans

>>8639918
really never liked converse other than maybe the all white or all black ones. Look too childish imo

>>8639934

Porsche and BMW as a counterpoint to your ostentatious faggotcraft

>>8639868
it's just memechrome people trying to justify it with, "m-muh minimalism."
They'll be out before you know it.

>>8639868
I completely agree

I had a choice between copping a pair of common projects and a pair of vans and I chose the vans hands down. Common projects are ridiculously overhyped on this board and there are other options out there in regards to basic clothing that won't hurt your wallet.

Fuck these posts, even if they are jokes.
>>8639843
>>8639856

Overall this thread is weak, all thats been talked about is boring dumb white sneakers. How is anyone that browses not bored out of their mind by this?

I like the vast majority of CPs, but the only ones I'd be willing to pay full retail for are these.

Which I'm probably gonna do the moment LNCC finally processes my damn return.

>>8641115
Every pleb has a pair of vans, if you just want to have the same shoe as everyone else good for you. But CP's are worlds greater than vans, they aren't even in the same league so I'm not sure why you're trying to justify your shitty purchase acting like they're a better option.
Btw vans cost like 5$ to make, so you just paid a higher markup than you would on CP's, and enjoy buying a new pair every 6 months.

>>8641115

You do understand the difference is not only design and materials, but BUILD QUALITY.

CPs will last way longer than vans will and will look BETTER as they age, instead of worse like vans.

I'm not hating on vans, I have a pair myself and think they look great with a lot of fits.

But CPs can elevate a simple fit by miles unlike vans which might even bring down a fit.

>>8641132
Ugh I want a pair of these.
Someone should post a fit.

I once had an employee complement me on my Common Projects by name. I was in a grocery store of all places.

>mfw I just described my style

>>8641506
Skinny jeans are already out of style. I think you meant tapered or slim.

>>8641516
oboiherewego

>>8641470

They don't have history now, but I assure you they will later

CPs took the Menswear world by storm back in '07, especially the all-white ones, and disregarding any form of bias I have for owning them they are quintessentially regarded among fashion editorials and circles as the ultimate casual leather sneaker in terms of minimalist design. The all-white lows are a very organic piece that complements virtually any outfit, hell even suits. Raggedy ass canvas plimsolls can't do that.

>>8641516
'Skinny jeans' is obviously a very nebulous description for their fit. I'm a thinking of a pair that doesn't hug the legs skin-tight but is 'just-right' and complements one's body-type. For example, a 6'5'' lanky motherfucka is going to look stupid wearing super skinny jeans but a 5'6'' dude might not because it adds to the illusion of length

how about we try posting some stuff that won't fall apart in 6 months like cheap sweatshop garbage?

>>8641535
Pls son, that statement has always been shit. I've had $50 vans hold up for four years before they started to get gross.

>>8641542
Sorry anon, NEETs don't have any say in durability.

>>8641550
Actually I wore those damn things for the first three years of high school. Only pair of Vans I've owned. They got kinda ratty, but nowhere near unwearable. I tossed them because they got too small.

On a similar note, my dad has some weird sort of commitment to Converse, and despite working every day usually makes them last a good 2 years. I guess it largely depends how you walk, though.

>>8641470
They aren't plimsolls they're leather.
Oh no! Muh cultural relevance! So you only wear traditional garments? Post fit with ur kilt and sarong plz u fucking autist.

1000% mark up? Please stop shit-posting you're so dumb it hurts. You could not make these shoes for $40, labour alone would be that much, with materials you're looking at 100~ on a pair of these at least.

I bet you own a pair of vans, they cost like $5 to produce and are literally sold at 1000% mark-up, yet they get shittier looking with every wear and break apart within 6 months.

>>8641564
I worse Converse in high school (still wear them as beater pairs) but always needed maybe two pair every year. But I never liked the beat up look.
Supposedly before Nike bought them out, Convers were fucking troopers & took a ton of beating, but idk if true.

>>8641573
They did last a lot longer before they were bought out, I still have a pair from when I was a kid that look pretty damn good.
Lol even my bro's baby shoes held up better than his current pair which he keeps in a box

>>8641579
Damn, gotta miss that made in USA quality.

>>8641132
got the lows p nice :^)

You know, you can like CP's all you want, i don't give the slightest amount of fucks, but they're the absolute incarnation of overprice.

>>8641569
>100~ on a pair of these at least

lol

>>8641470
>into buying his le Italian leather shoes at a 1000% mark up
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but when you buy ANYTHING at full price people are making >100% profit off of you

RE: CPs

just because they're great looking high quality shoes don't mean they'll never go out of style. Let's look back at a few years ago:

"why would you spend $250 on blue jeans?" "a slimmer, straight leg dark indigo denim will never go out of style"
2014: "lol what are those baggy ass things on your legs? Indigo? Kill yourself autistic dadcore faggot"

In other words, everyone will hate white cp lows/mids in a year or two. Everything goes out of style, and with the internet, the trend's life is shorter than ever

It's cool how people who claim to hate the shoes and talk about how they will go out of style spend years talking about how they hate them and how they are going to go out of style

>>8642827
Who thread=rekt

>>8642845
I love my pair but accept that they'll be out of style sooner rather than later, but I'll wear them anyway because fuck fashion

>>8642827

I don't know anybody who thinks that a solid-fitting pair of denim is anything other than a solid staple for most guys's closets. I mean, I admit that I'm more trend-conscious than actually a follower of trends, but I don't know any store that doesn't always keep well-fitting jeans in stock at all times.

>>8642853
plain leather sneakers aren't going to go out of style anytime soon

that's like telling me the tshirt is going to go out of style in the next two years

All black will never go out of style.

>>8642878

Which is so curious when you think that all black as non-mourning wear is such a relatively recent development.

>>8642890
I wear all black to mourn the death of style

>>8642939

Well done sir.

I had these and sold them because they don't work very well with most fits, mostly due to the tongue.
The quality is pretty good though, its a shame they look so awkward

>>8641506
>tfw skinny jeans and very skinny legs

I was genuinely miring my legs in a shop window yesterday, no fucks given it looks good.

I'm guessing buzzcuts will be around forever too.

>Porsche and BMW being affordable and easy to obtain

Probably less than 5% of the world population can afford one of those cars and by "afford" I mean be able to purchase it without breaking their bank. Even someone on fucking minimum wage could save up for a pair of CPs in a couple of months if they chose to.

>>8643127
maybe because you're a midget and your feet are so fokin big compared to ur proportions

>>8643198
idk man, I've seen a lot of mercs and BMWs around my city for over two years to the point where a 350 2011 was being sold in very pristine conditions at a very affordable price, i started to think that Mercedes released a middle class line or something

and its funny because i live in mexico

>>8639843
I would honestly never wear these shoes just because of this ridiculous stigma attached to them. Only losers from the internet wear these shits and honestly speaking I don't want some autistic goth ninjers coming up to me and talking to me about thme

What's the best way to tie common projects? I want that straight lace look and I know there's several methods for it but which is the best?

>>8643239
You should watch VFiles or listen to like your typical korean pop star girls talk about their wardrobe. They all actually dress in the "internet" brands that you think only "losers from the internet wear". And a ton of chicks dig them too.

>>8643127
its because u dont know how to dress mate

>>8643237
Second hand CPs are also far more affordable than brand new ones. Also, you can't base your belief on mere observation. Do you have any idea what the median salary is in your locale? What ratio of households even own automobiles? How would your region compare to other regions? I know you said you lived in Mexico but imagine someone from Germany saying that BMWs and Mercs are common in their city. Go to India or China or anywhere in Africa and see how many people there own luxury automobiles compared to the rest of the population.

>>8643249
honestly I'm not a fucking nerd so i don't give a shit what kpop viral stars wear. all i know is that everytime i see someone in rick owens or CP walking down the street I point and laugh at them.

>>8643310
u sound like a p cool dude tbh

>>8642612
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but when you're paying 500$ for a pair of basic leather plimsoles from a faceless designer with no artist backing no history and no credentials you're wasting 100% of your money 100% of the time

>>8643712
that's just your opinion

I didn't buy the achilles low btw and I only paid 240 for them, they are good shoes. If you don't like them nobody is forcing you to buy them or read through common projects threads lol

>>8642861
See
>>8642827

Nobody thought slim straight indigo would ever go out. Just years later it's skinny black or you're a dadcore autistic faggot

>>8639931
We've been over this as you can imagine, in other threads about CPs (every last 50 billion of them), there are several ways to justify an item's price, and yes you might include the reputation of the brand (or "hype factor", but i don't think there's much hype behind these shoes, not the right word) in those. The fact that it's timeless has nothing to do with the price, a tee-shirt is timeless too, and it could be any price.

The quality plays a big role, but I think it's mostly the design, as surprisingly, very few shoes get both the design and the quality right, in the low top white leather sneaker area. Some items seem to either cost a lot and be good, or almost nothing but suck and everything in between sucks too. Most bombers are like that too, the high end ones are perfect, almost 100% of the low end ones are atrocious in every aspect...I think CPs can get away with being that expensive because of how little serious competition they have to put up with.

I like how everyone ignored the anon thatbbrought up indigo denim, because they can't accept memeshoes are already going out of style

Indigo denim isn't out of style.

Whatever makes you feel better about your dated as fuck 2010core blue jeans you downs syndrome autist

I don't even know what to think anymore. I mean, indigo has developed a mixed reputation here, but does not being "effay" really count as "going out of style"? I mean there can't be just ONE style, indigo is still prominent in workwear, which /fa/ (and me, frankly) don't really like, but it still has its place in different scenes.

It's not really so much that stuff like this is "out", its just not liked by most of /fa/. That said however, if we're determining whats in and out by what runway designers crank out, then yeah, I guess indigo isn't really too big right now.

>>8644331
or this

>>8644373
cool

>>8644376
"indigo" is such a broad term, what the fuck are you guys even on about ? It's never been weird to wear any kind of dark blue pant, ever. What will or will not go out of style is the different cuts, and there's a clear shift towards slimmer jeans that began like 10 years ago with Slimane etc

And faded denim isn't out of style either, the thing is people think faded denim is "normal" and easy to come by, when really it's extremely hard to find a good looking pair that isn't very expensive, and it's still one of those "fake vintage" items because they look used when you buy them brand new.

Hi guys I need SEVERE HELP. As in I've worn a shitty ugly worn down pair of Timberland boat shoes for the past year help. I have money now to get some nice stuff, around 150-200 dollar range.

I want everyday shoes. I'm 29, italian, usually wear jeans and button-up shirts with the sleeves rolled. I don't think I'm really a sneaker kind of guy. So I'm leaning towards loafers or other slipon style shoes.

I want something as comfortable as possible, with a good sole that has some traction, but that isn't embarassing. I don't know what's considered lame in terms of nice casual stuff. I'm trying to avoid slipons with the little elastic corners, but I don't know if stuff with like full loafer uppers and a rugged sole is okay, stuff like pic related.

Please help me be less of a schlub. I don't think I can find like, double monkstrap burnished loafers that are super comfy AND won't slide out from under me, but I want to try for something nice

>>8644483
>uses burnished double monks as high-tier example

I said NOT ONLY design and materials, meaning yes design and materials are important BUT how it's built is a huge factor as well.

This is why the argument to buy solely because it's cheap is silly. You should buy because of build quality as well and these tend to be on the more pricey side.

Slim is on the way out. Right now, pretty much only jeans are slim. Other pants like chinos are already getting bigger.

10 years of skinnies is enough, they will vanish over the next years.

>>8643198
That's not the same thing bro.Of course, shoes are cheaper than a car.

But a basic car is around €20k, BMWs start at €40k. 40k/20k=2. So twice the price.

A basic pair of shoes that most of people would wear is under €100 in my country. A pair of CPs is €300. 300/100=3. So 3 times the price.

being in shape

>>8648009
>basic car is around 20k

I'd say as low as 10, 15 if you push it.

>>8647996
I don't know about that. I think the extremes will go, and the slim straight will become the new "normal" jeans. Chinos can be found in all sorts of cuts, some of which are very close to the body, and others not so much.

You can play around with lots of different cuts, I like oversized styles too but now the typical 90's "roomy" cuts look awful to me. Not a fan of proper skinny cuts either.
