Common Projects Achilles Low Review | My HONEST Thoughts

- The Common Projects Achilles Low have some-what of a cult status in the world of sneakers. They are touted as a premium shoe that has a premium price tag to go with it. In this video I give my honest review of this legendary sneaker.

Awesome review, incredibly durable; have had my first pair since 2014 which I recently resoled. So many ‘alternatives’ like Koio etc but I favour the CP look
Mine are 2 years old ....wear them 3-4 times a week. Once broken in super comfortable. Age extremely well and the sole is bullet proof. As long as the CP’s last 3 years, which they are basically guaranteed to last that long.Worth every penny😉.
Ive had my CPs for about four years, don't wear them everyday, mainly weekends, and they are still in great shape. The Rose Anvil video was a bit disappointing, you can get cheaper and better made but he still voted them the best white trainers for style.
Yeah they look really cool when you are sipping y’ beer. Would love to see what they look like with some on trend socks, the no sock look is so 2023. Great stuff, thanks duuuuuuuude
C-QP is another good sneaker brand, very similar in aesthetics and quality to Common Projects but they have the added benefit of having a shank. Really helps when you’re someone like me who has a low arch
As someone who owns a pair of CPs and MMM GATs, and likes both, I prefer the MMM GATs.
The elastic band inside the shoe ensures a snug fit, and they are overall more comfortable, while still looking sharp.
I've been looking for a pair myself, but you can find the GATs in an all white upper leather with a gum sole as an alternative to the white Achilles Low.
Love my CPs, definitely agree on them being good value long term especially if you can get a discounted price which does happen on non white colour ways now and again. My only slight issue is the sizing is weird, long and narrow.
Long and narrow indeed. I took full size down and still would need like half down but It's ok . 😁
I feel that t shirt video coming soon for that summer heat 🔥
Workout gear? Ten thousand gear vuori
It’s coming. Next week maybe ;) or the week after hah
I have both CPs and Koio’s, tbh, the Koio’s are what CP would be if they updated the design. Thicker insole and more cushion on the heel gives a better overall fit.
The leather is different on the Koio, not as soft and a little thicker, that’s a plus for me since it doesn’t crease as much as the CP.
Also the waxed cotton laces are such much better than the cheap ones on the CP
Can you tell us about Koio Vs Common Projects. Which one is better quality to buy.

Koio seems to offer something very similar at a lower price
I think cp´s are the creme della creme for those niche consumers who wear for the eastethic and would compare them with denim heads who is all about redline jeans (selvedge) Yea you can buy kois for cheaper but that's not why the cp appeals for followers of the brand
Nice review! Im on the verge of getting a pair but sizing is so confusing. Whats your US size?
Where is that tee shirt from ?? Supima cotton ?
Try Margiela GAT's. Although, I myself love CP's. Can also get d black Achilles with d white sole.
I think they are good for a $150 USD shoe but at $400 there’s an expectation that the finer details / finishes should be better. A cheaper-priced shoe should last just as long as these.
Buttero Tannino seem like an interesting alternative.
Trainers, which to be fair, have not much to them, and are usually made in the far east, should never cost more than good quality leather boots.
I remember when these shoes barely broke $250 now they’re about $500 😓
Such is life with inflation. I think they were totally worth it at $250 ten years ago but these days there are so many alternatives I would only go CP if you just really love the look.
@@cccycling5835 100%, I still believe they’re worth it. I seen them at a off saks fifth store recently for about $350 but that’s one of the best prices I’ve seen for them brand new
@@freebandjam4983 $250 on cettire rn
They wear too warm for summer IMO.
Buttero sneakers are similar, but even better
Awesome!!!! Great review as always!
Thanks man! really appreciate it!
Any suggestions on what to apply to the sole / heel to prevent quick foot drag?
It barely drags. very strong
Thanks for the good review. Just ordered mine!
Hope you enjoy it!
Does anyone know why the laces come tied so weirdly? Are you supposed to relace or leave them like that?
That’s your choice, people tend to keep them straight laced because it looks cleaner.
It’s just preference.
True to size? Big? Small?
If I'm a half size like 9.5 US (Between 42 and 43EU), should I size down to a 42 or 41 for a snug fit?
I’m a TTS 9.5 and even wear 10s in some older Air Max 1s and Gel Lyte 3s/5s, I personally think CPs run pretty big if you don’t have a wide foot. I got a 41, and with thin no-shows, I almost feel like I could go down to a 40.5, albeit slightly snug at that size.
IMO, stick to a 41 if you don’t have a wide foot. I literally just tried mine on 10 mins ago.
@@zoomemail Yeah I got 41 and it's a great fit, thanks.
@@zoomemailI made a mistake🥹
It's way too tight and it hasn't really stretched. I don't know how I thought it's ok but it's definitely not. Kills my feet after 10 mins.
@@zoomemail even 42's way too small
@@zoomemail I feel like I need 44 or 45 LOL
Is it worth if you can get this for half the price?
Yes absolutely.
Under 250 usd they are a good deal.
No better brand than Common Projects.
Are they true of size?
Where can you buy a pair in the U.S?
The US is about the only place where you can get them on sale haha.
Are you Australian?
CPS in my opinion are way overpriced can get the exact shoe from oliver cabell for way less if you want a real luxury sneaker go for Crown Northampton from the UK
No cap
Unpopular opinion: Oliver cabells are kind of ugly. I’d rather look for a Common Projects 50% off sale or buy a pair second hand, and know that I’m getting a beautiful shoe for ~$200, than pay the same price for something that just doesn’t have the right look.
@@brendan5235 that high round Toebox is a dealbreaker for me.
Idk these are all boring looking. Like shoes a nurse would wear. I don’t see the hype, unless you’re going for that “mature” look 🤷♂️. I’ll stick to Jordan’s and Yeezy’s thanks.
