CP knockoffs aka Wang sneakers on sale at Massdrop.
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kent-wang-sneakers

But then again, even those Asos knockoffs appear to be better quality at the same price range (stitched sole)

You can't really compare them to CP's though. They're like a less bulky and more minimalistic version of the Adidas SS.

Might as well look for people flipping unworn CPs they got from sales. You'll get a better deal than maybe $20 max off RRP that CP would probably never do due to brand dilution.

i know mane sometimes u just cant escape it

the serial number along the side just seems too conspicuous to me, i feel like i can live with branding on the tongue if i can't get away from it completely. maybe im just rationalizing

slightly related note, i copped these as an alternative to cp / ns / kent / etc etc

Bro the branding is very understated, that's one of the reasons people like them. They're a minimal shoe but they still have some identity to them.

What exactly were bad about them? I was planning to cop but now you're giving me second thoughts.

>> No.8012842

>>8012811
only thing I can see from the pics (I'm the guy with the NS shoes) is, that the borders of patches of the asos shoe appear to be rather flimsy. Not sure how sturdy the stitching is, and the inner material is not leather, so that might cause some discomfort too - but really, why not cop and return if you don't like it?

>> No.8012988

>>8012811
They look real nice in the pic, but the leather was very, very cheap and all crinkly and like paper. Possible it was a one off defect though. ASOS have decent return policy so just cop and see what you think I guess

default answer would be - no inspo needed because versatile.

My 2cents would be - don't wear white CPs with raw denim, they Will turn blue.

Im not trying to judge because I know that different people are on different sized budgets, but what is the point of buying knock-offs? 9/10 times the quality is shit and they'll fall apart in a fraction of the time the authentics will. Plus, you're supposed to dress for yourself, not for women, and the fact that you know that you're wearing cheap fakes is doig a disservice to yourself.

They're not really knockoffs or fakes. Nobody is pretending they're CPs. Are you implying that Common Projects has some sort of patent on minimalistic slim white sneakers?

if you live in Montreal, I know the 2 little burgundys in the Eaton center have black CP low and mid knock offs by floyd (LB brand). Leather seems thin but decent and the soles are glued on, not sewed. No gold lettering either. only 150.
