Don't see the hype behind CP Achilles.. they look so plain, can't justice that price tag.. do they ever go on sale?

I might be new on this forum, but if you new how I follow/support fashion then you would know that I don't follow trends or celebrity fashion.

Margiela GAT's are just $400 versions of old military trainers. Those and CP's are still some of the msot comfortable and versatile sneakers.

What idiot is paying for $400 for CP's or GAT's?

$200-$250 at most during sale periods.

Black/white Achilles for your first pair of CPs is a good kop. To my eye anything else and you are settling. They rarely hit sales if ever so best you're going to get is a coupon knocking 30 off. $200 is fiction tho (unless theres something i dont know) prolly looking at a little under three with shipping. Vans don't even touch Achilles.

Edit looks like you settled.

Bought my white cp achilles for just under 200 shipped :slayer: Was year and a half ago though and I haven't seen that price since, shame because I'd like another pair of the same
