All I'm asking is:

If you like the look of CPs, is the often-mentioned High Quality of CPs a real thing, or a result of an internet echo chamber? Do people with CPs consider them to be good purchases.

So far it sounds like the answer is yes (and I am an idiot for asking about clothing on /fa/)

durability, if thats what you actually meant? on point, they look like theyve been worn 5 years and can handle another 5.

and they are not expensive at all for designer sneaks... pretty much all models go on sale for 200$ or so, they are really not that far down the road of expensive designer shit, go window shop some ccp or ann d instead of converse and vans and these wont look so expenive anymore

how the fuck did you find it I typed the same exact thing in rakuten are you a wizard m8?

also to answer your question they seem worth it imo where else you gonna find shoes like that for 2 hunna?

they're made in portugal which leads me to believe that they're being made at the same place raf simonsberg makes his shoes now that he moved out of italy

depends on a lot of things. I know people who wear through the soles of pretty well-made shoes in a few months because of the way they walk or how their foot is shaped. my point is that there is seldom any guarantee that a shoe will last a long time, sometimes it's down to luck or how you take care of them.

I have no personal experience with the durability of common projects, but I hear good things. Just remember that the internet buzz about "quality" shouldn't blind you to the fact that they could still fall apart, and you should still treat them with a reasonable level of care.
