Guys what are some alternatives to the Common Projects Achilles?

Also where did you purchase yours if you copped a pair?

...looking to cop some but want to see all that's out there.

I love Shoes Like Pottery, even if they're not really the same as CPs. They're a much more organic, kinda whimsical style

adidas court vantage

about £50, might have to dig around cos they were sold out in quite a few places when i was looking

i didn't buy them in the end but they look good in person, a little bulkier but very clean, in terms of the panelling i think they're exactly the same as CPs

Don't buy CPs.

They are generic leather shoes. Good crafting quality, yes. But so are pretty much every non-fake brand. Companies like CP and many designers simply aim at bored, materialistic retards who will buy anything because it's expensive under the pretend of 'quality' or 'design' etc.

Just buy some adidas or anything with a similar silhouette. Nobody gives a shit about your shoes anyway.

I bought vans court DX's because they were $20 on clearance. They've been pretty good. I removed the vans tag on the side though, that tag really ruins the look imo.

I went to a store that carried them, tried them on - they didn't seem worth 400 bux.
The margiela replicas look dope but again, not worth the money.
stan smiths seem fine but they seem so bulky
vans r okay but that's all I wear
either way I don't think CPs are worth the money. They weren't that comfortable. I was crazed about it for a bit though, I must admit.

it's so hard to find a pair of slim shoes that aren't so expensive and not vans

ikr.

Yea I know there not worth the money, even if they were $50 i'd still buy 'em, its just the look, they look so clean and sleek, its not about the money they just look so...nice

I'd have to say it's still about the money. If you copped them @ 400 you'd feel cheated. Some people think it's an investment - but it only pays off if you wear them for 3 years or so.
CP's no brand style is in itself a brand - we'd be no different from those that cop gucci shirts and supreme shit
