So I went to the mall today and saw that my local Nordstrom had received only 1 pair of CP's and had advertised that they were doing preorders for them in mid July. The one pair they had was my size and after trying them on, I don't think I can live without them.

Now being the poorfag that I am, I don't want to spend more than 400 bills on them. What's the best place and time of year to purchase a pair? 250-300 preferably.

>best place and time of year

it really depends, you just have to check sites every day. get on mailing lists for sites that carry them. flash sales at local boutiques are sometimes the best bet. there's no formula to this shit otherwise everyone would have brand new CPs for $250. it's a combination of luck and diligence to get a high price item brand new at a low price.

winter and summer sales, coupon codes, being in the know for flash sales and sample sales... good research + good timing + luck really.

or you could just make friends with the pacesetter at your local nordstrom and have them buy the shoes for you at 33% off.

we get these threads all the time,


If you're going after the white/black CPs just give up now getting them on sale as it's a VERY low chance you'll get them in your size, and color by the time they are marked down.

Sure, people get lucky and will post saying it's possible but if you really want a pair in your size I'd start saving now.

The dollar is strong right now, assuming you are American it should be easy to get a deal from a European webshop. I got mine for ~250 from tres bien with the non-eu discount and a 15% off coupon I got for signing up for their emails.

They fit pretty TTS imo. wear either a US 10 or 10.5 and the size 43 fit me just right.

The thing you have to remember though is that to ultimately get the best fit it should be a little "tight" when you first try it on, because leather breaks in. After 2-3 weeks of wearing they will be perfect.

Anyone know where in the UK(Brighton area) I can try on a pair of CPs? I wanna see how they fit as I don't want the hassle of sending a pair back to get a different size.

I'm a UK7 in Roshes, will I need a EU 40(UK6) or a EU41(UK7)? From what I've read most people say to size down as they fit long but some complain that sizing down is too tight?

I bought my black CPs at End Clothing a couple years back for Black Friday. Cost $260 I think. Than $50 for the import fee. So $310 total. Hundred under retail.

This is factually incorrect. If you measure a size 42 CP on a brannock device, it will be larger than a size 9US, aka CPs are not TTS. Those with normal to narrow feet would be best to get a 41 if they're a 9, 42 if they're a 10, etc.

However, if you have fat ass un-fa feet like this nerd probably does, you may not be able to size down like most people need to, so you'd have to go TTS... but be aware that you'll have a ton of space at your toes... like 2+ inches.

Lol, all these people think that "common" projects are so in demand that they are impossible to get on Sale. I'm not going to tell you where to get them on sale because you're a newfag loser cuck. But I've seen them for as low as $200 in my size and still did not buy them.

They are ugly as fuck shoes with a terrible silhouette when worn in.

Plus you shouldn't be buying $300 sneakers if you're this new to the fashion game. Or enjoy my snickers when I see you strolling down my street with $3 H&M shirt. $50 Levi's and common projects. In fact I might just spit on you.
