CPs

There's something very sad about the way ordinary, middle class folks on /fa/ scrimp and save for them and treat them like a religious icon. You see them in shoe collection threads all the time, where the guy will have his work shoes, maybe some meme boosts or knit shoes, a pair of Vans that are clearly worn the most of anything, and a pristine pair of CPs in fucking shoetrees that look like they're only worn in WAYWT fit pictures. It's depressing the way they try to latch on to this item that none of their economical peers would even recognize as expensive, especially when the reality is that CPs are just standard "wear them for a season or year and toss them" shoes for people in a higher tax bracket, no different than a pair of Stans would be for a middle class person.

These are always the guys that come to mind as "victims", desu.

I'm in the 40% tax bracket in UK and wouldn't throw these away after 1 season. You're exaggerating a bit.

But I agree, I don't understand poor folks / children with their Maison margiela or CP trainers... For me it's just a replacement of my poorer-days vans and asics.

I wouldn’t pay more than 50€ for them if I would wear them. I like simple designs, but this one is so simple, it’s boring plus it’s low quality leather, i would buy onitsuka tiger lawnship sneakers instead

That’s the fucking point. They offered the most simple shoe on the market. It’s the black coffee of sneakers. Without milk. Without sugar. Timeless thing which is never out.

and you wouldnt pay a premium for mcdonalds black coffee
these shoes arent worth more than 45 bucks

>> No.15235537

>>15235523
But they are premium, not mcdonalds.
Adidas and nike are mcdonalds tier sneakers. Fake leather, slave labour etc

I was twice at mcdonalds as a child, I don't waste money on low quality if I can get better quality food for less, also never bought anything at starbucks and don't intend to ever do.

>>15235537
they aren't premium, they have a low quality construction and mediocre leather. I bought better shoes for the fraction of the price, it's italian and like many thing from there it's a scam.
