Are these the usual white achilles lows? A friend wants me to pull the trigger for him but I want to make sure.


They are described as white by Yoox, but they do not look white to me. They look creme...

everyone be sure to post when you get your shoes. I'm really curious about how today sorts out..

Just curious as to your guy's suggestions.

For those of who own the original white Achilles low, would you buy the limited editions with the patent cap toe?

I'm tempted to cop the ones on Yoox, but I'm debating whether to buy the original white lows vs. the special edition.

Thanks in advance.

Just confirmed on the phone that they're not in case people are wondering. They're an off white.
