  • Is this basic white leather sneaker worth $400?! I've worn these for about 10 months. Are Common Projects worth your money or should you be looking at alternatives?

    Nice video! $400 is a lot, but then again...it is a luxury pair of sneakers like you said and it depends on an individuals style and how much they're willing to pay. QUALITY is a definite factor in determining the price. Keep up the great job.

    Great video!
    If you don't care for the look, definitely NOT worth it. Might as well get something much cheaper and as durable. But if you do, go for it!

    Koio or Oliver Cabell are also great alternatives

    common projects are so worth it. I have a simple pair of achilles low, and initially my plan was to only wear them for days out with my friend and semi special occasions. but after the first week of wear them, you realise that they are genuinely, the best sheo and now i wear them for absolutly everything. if you take decent care of them (i clean them once a month and apply leather cream to them once a month as well) they will last a very very long time. ive had mine for nearly 5 years, and only now am i considering, getting a new pair.

      How do they fit. Are they true to size or fit big?

    Good Man Brand also a great alternative at 2 hundo or less.

    Best and fastest way to break these things in.. get shoe stretchers. And always use shoe trees.

    What size do you wear normally in Flyknit?

  • @tomhogarty4415

    Thanks for the awesome review. Regarding size, do you wear the same size in the retro as you do in the original achilles low?

    • @curioussober
      @curioussober  Před 6 lety

      Tom Hogarty hey man. They fit the same!

    • @tomhogarty4415

      Appreciate the response. I've seen some say the retros fit differently than the originals, so it must depend on the individual.

    I have a pair of Greats and got them for 120$ and they are the best pair of shoes if ever had from the comfort, look, quality, functionality. There is not enough good things to say about them. One tip is to size one size down. Ex. I usually wear a 10 but a 9 fits like a gem.

    • @jeanlucbergman479

      Freakin amazing shoe. I love the CP brand but can't bring myself to buy it when my Nero Greats are so good.

    Bro, size 39 is like a size 6 or 7?! How tall are you?

  • @mcf2765
    @mcf2765 Před 4 lety

    This sneakers is worth it compared to buying those resell prices yeezys or off-whites. I'm considering Koio to be the best alternative.

    do you also own the regular achilles? i like the retro lows featured in the video but i've read that they fit a little larger than regular achilles. would appreciate if you could shed some light. great vid!

    • @curioussober
      @curioussober  Před 5 lety

      Erick Mangali I don't have the Achilles low. But I do have the Achilles mid. It was the same sizing for me on both.

    • @erickmangali
      @erickmangali Před 5 lety

      thanks for the reply! i see you're wearing 39's. what size do you wear in other shoes? vans slip ons? nike free runs? chucks?

    • @curioussober
      @curioussober  Před 5 lety

      Erick Mangali usually 7.5 or 8 us.
      I don't own many of the shoes you named. But I know I go a full size down on the chucks.

    • @erickmangali
      @erickmangali Před 5 lety

      got it. i think i'm getting a good idea of how i should size. last question is how do the 39's fit you? did they fit perfectly right off the bat? little big? little snug?

    • @curioussober
      @curioussober  Před 5 lety

      Erick Mangali cps always fit tight in the front and a bit loose in the back. Toe box is super narrow and long. Prepare to break them in

    How does the leather compare to the leather on the gucci ace?

    • @curioussober
      @curioussober  Před 6 lety +1

      Zach B aces are softer. Cp are more tough. CP is also more durable in general. But both are top notch just in different ways

    @superswaggerfly Před 6 lety +1

    Do you size down for this pair?

    • @curioussober
      @curioussober  Před 6 lety

      swagger fly I did. Most people do. Really long break in time if you have wide feet. If you can, try them on in store.

  • @superbballer2
    @superbballer2 Před 6 lety +1

    I have the all white Achilles lows and I’ve only worn them 3-4 times. Definitely still need to wear them a few more times to break them in

    • @curioussober
      @curioussober  Před 6 lety

      Thomas Siu sucks in the beginning since you spent so much on a shoe and expect it to be comfortable right away!
