Alright /fa/ I fucking love these shoes and I just got in a position where I can spend a bit of money, so my question is are they worth it and if so what pair?

>> No.8025922

>so my question is are they worth it

That's a value judgment only you can make for yourself. If you can't resist and you want the chance to wear them in from their nice, new condition, then you know what you have to do, but if you don't care there's plenty of pairs available second-hand.

saw a guy in mono wearing black CP lows at COS yesterday. Looked okay, I still wouldn't want to spend 320 Eur on that before I own real good formal and semi-formal, shoes.

I understand where you're coming from, $400 is a lot for a pair of shoes. But $400 gets you a lot.
There's an unmatched level of craftsmanship and quality with Common Projects that blows other shoes in it's style category out of the water.

he's not completely wrong
people here on /fa/ make it seems that any pair of shoes cheaper than cps, raf simons or rick owens ones will just be destroyed in a couple of days
I understand that the more you pay, the better you get, but for you guys there are only black or white, only shit or excellence, no intermediate fades, this is ridiculous IMO, I cannot believe that there isn't even ONE SINGLE FUCKING PAIR of shoes for, let's say, 200 dollars that is good(not excellent, just good) and worth its price

Dude has a valid point, sort of. There are situations where making an investment in good shoes will really pay off in terms of quality, durability, and the likelihood of them making a good impression on (for example) women or good employers.

But plain sneakers are not one of those situations. Your investment here has zero impact and no real return.

Muji's $24 canvas sneakers have a classic look and are comfy as fuck. If you want leather, Kent Wang is the same idea as CPs but under $100.

tl;dr -- $400 dress shoes are a good investment. $400 plain sneakers are a waste of money.

As a real rich person I find this funny as shit. $400 gets WEEKS of food!? Omg, how many fucking rich people spend that on one meal. Getting some stupid shoes is fine if $400 is a drop in the bucket doesn't matter. Get them in the wrong size, get 2 pair, give them to the maid, throw them in the trash- if you really have $400 to blow, blow it. Throw $400 in the trash if you want, what the fuck do I care? You weren't going to give it to me. You weren't going to be wearing your favorite shoes. The question is are you a fucking heir or not and to how much of a fortune.

the buttero models ive handled are even slimmer than CPs so if you got wide feets it is a suicide, the leather is really really nice though.

>$100 US

Are you serious? They were about $77 US converted where I live, and I'd assume that anything in HK would be cheapter than that.

Anyway, I'm not familiar with Muji's quality of shoes but their clothes are the typical good bang-for-your-buck Japanese products.

Hmm, got the conversion wrong actually. Turns out I shouldn't just divide HKD by 6 to get USD. So yeah, it turns out to be ~$75

this dude>>8030186 has clearly never seen them before, the silhouette is completely different.
Pros - i can't count the number of compliments i've gotten from them
comfy af
look dope af with some cropped pants or shorts, summery shit
p durable, that fabric is ez to clean
Cons - I dunno. They're runners/athleticy shoes and should be worn as such (so they look weird with blue jeans and stuff) but they're dope kicks man

Honestly, I've liked the solid white lows, but the vintages have been growing on me. The toss up though is that the vintages are $335 with shipping from a potentially unreliable source vs the regulars are $362 from a reliable source, but will be subject to duties due to importing it.
