Well done guys

I really like the achilles mid.

The one pair I have is working very well with narrow cut pair of jeans.

Am I the only one feeling weird about the new editions.

I mean the point with CP is premium clean sneakers.

What is the point to "downgrade"? The tournament are already here for people looking for less expensive CPs.

I may sound a bit haughty but I had hoped the evisu x common projects made the point that cheap quality CPs was a stupid idea.

Any chance to have pics with you wearing it?

How tall are they comparing to other high top CPs or other high top model?

Go with your achilles size - Tres Bien has them for the best price at the moment after vat is deducted.

So size down 1? Damn, I went tts as recommended on Mr Porter...

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see how they fit, might exchange them for a 44 if they're too big.

cp's are not that premium or high quality. in fact most of these luxury sneakers aside from lanvin or balenciaga aren't really that high quality. 

i honestly didn't last more than 6 months in a pair of cp's.

Sure, the leather might be "better" and stuff as the shoe gets more expensive but honestly once the sole wears out who cares about the leather lol

totally, my cp's started to tear in the heel area after 3 months of wear. don't get me wrong, they're great sneakers if you're looking for a sleek silhouette but they arent the holy grail. my nike sb dunks and $20 converse ox have lasted much longer than cp's and probably get more love than them. that is why im curious to know more about the new editions.

i did wear cp's every day, enough to become my daily beaters.
