    Common Projects look good, but the price is way too high and the quality doesn't reflect that. Everyone considering buying a pair should look at Rose Anvil's video where he dismantles a pair and looks at the build and the materials used.

    • @nickpellatt

    Upgrading my Wardrobe continues and I'm glad to have found this video that I was trying to find but found it accident watching something else. I do not yet own a pair of pure white dress sneakers. But based on your review i like 1, 2 and 4. They not gonna be something i wear often, but i'm working at adding 1-2 pairs in. Surely appreciate this video.

    Dope content O.G, I was definitely wondering when you were going to do another minimalist review...I seen a few already, but always good to get perspective from someone I’m more on brand with✊🏾...so what’s the crease factor on the Koio sneakers

    Thanks for the advice and recommendations. I am not a big fan of sneakers, but I'll consider them for certain occasions (not that I don't wear them just not to often). It is always good to know where to pick up a good minimalist sneaker just in case. Keep putting out fantastic videos good Sir!

    @christophergibson4449 Před 3 lety

    Thank you! I do own a pair of Common Projects and the one thing I don't like about them is the back heel is too low. I know that I don't have big heels but it feels like I'm wearing a mule...lol. So, I am excited to see that there are some alternatives and cheaper ones at that.

  • @ajmunn1229
    @ajmunn1229 Před 3 lety

    Family, I'm not gonna lie, I found your CZcams channel yesterday and already watched 40 or so videos. Love everything that you are doing. I'm definitely taking all of the styles that you have recommended. I'll forever be appreciative for this. I do have one request....In the future if possible, could you do a video on what really muscular men should and should not wear. I play college football and all of the squats and deadlifts have limited some of my fashion options over the years. It would be really cool if you could help out the buff boys so we won't have to resort to wearing nike sweat suits all the time. All love boss man.

    A great brand which is often over-looked is Mephisto, active since the 60's, all hand made in France and Portugal using the finest materials, leather lining and also 100% natural rubber sole, the Mephisto Cristiano in white is the model. Its a brand known for durability and comfort because they emphasize orthotics and the gait in all their shoes and they have their own air cushioning in the heel and anatomically shaped cork and leather foot-beds. I have a pair and they haven't disappointed me. You seriously get the same if not better craftsmanship and materials, with more than 60 years of no-how, plus a patented cushioning system, for a lower price than Common Projects.

The butter soft, veg tan off-white leather is truly spectacular. The quality is sublime. They make Common Projects look like Common Crap.
