I have quite a few pairs that have been sitting in my closet for months (some almost a year) never taken out of the box, because I only wear my Achilles mids white..... I think those would have to be my favorite pair but I have still to see quite a few of the newer pairs in person, are there any mids available yet with the 3 velcro strap like margielas?

What is your fav pair of CP's?

I really need to venture into the black shoes... everything I have is light (with grey being the darkest) there is just something about black sneakers that makes me think NBA ref.

always try to wear black shoes, and fail. I have the Raf velcros in black and Ive only worn them once.

I don't have any more CP's but I wish I had a pair of white court lows or mids.

I have two pairs now, one is the typical achilles lowtops in white, and the other is a pair of mid-top court shoes in the two-tone brown/darker brown. The court mids are my favorite for sure, I have been wearing them quite often since I got them and they are holding up/aging very nicely. The court shoes in general were always the nicest model I thought...I dunno why they stopped making them in the newer seasons.

my favorite are my waxed grey deserts.

i am really not a huge fan of the all black achilles or courts. I think what turned me off is that i was at a restaurant once next to a pack of senior citizens and saw their shoes were eerily similar to mine. i'd like them more if there a white contrasting sole.

I like the captoe lows and also the safari boots. My captoes are beat to crap, the toe box all scuffed, and I still like them best. Essentially, I like these because they are nice takes on the cheaper stuff I would wear otherwise - chucks and desert boots. I also wear my waxed desert boots, but less so then those other two. I like the 2 toned Achilles as well, but am actually not a huge fan of the low top, single color, Achilles.

I want a pair of the new training boots in black soo bad. But $470 seems like a bit much for sneakers disguised as boots. I have a feeling they won't ever be on sale.

I still love the Achilles low in white, though. It's a near-timeless sneaker design, and I don't think they'll ever not look good.
