im relativly new to common projects but i was wondering why the didnt offer the achilles highs in any colorway this season winter autum 2011?! that the only model im interested in.. seen the all white all black and the vintage ones.. like them all, but cant find any online this season or leftovers

I suppose they did the BBalls for fall instead.
There are red and green suede vintage highs for next spring

thanks.. wow colored shoes yeah bballs cant compete with the achilles..

IMO classic bballs are infinitely superior to achilles hi's. I have the all grey hi's from ss10, they're nice but I've kinda gotten bored of them. still can't believe *********** up the new bballs. :foo:

I actually hated the new BBalls too but the white ones have grown on me big time. Been looking for OG BBalls for a long time and have never seen them on the bay, here, SuFu etc in a 45. So, I copped from TBS. Can't wait to be wearing them. I thought the vintage sole sucked but upon seeing worn in pairs of the OG whites, they seem to go that dirty colour anyways... Also copped a pair of Achilles Mid in black.

I second this. The moment I heard that line on Niggas in Paris, I jizzed and wanted to put it on SF.

so this is possibly an irritating newcomer question, but i just got my achilles low (classics). i sized down one, which was definitely the right call in terms of length. however they are fairly snug almost to the point of being uncomfortable. is this normal? i assume, being soft-ish, the leather will 'give' a little with wear?

I wear a size 41 and they're snug, but not uncomfortable, and never were. I do have to wear socks on the thinner side, though. If I were to size up to a 42 I know for fact they'd be too big.

I think it sounds like yours may be too snug in the width department? If so, you may have to sacrifice the good fit in length and size up to accommodate a better fitting width. I have had one pair of all black achilles that were pretty stretched out (bought in after market), but for CP's I've owned from day 1, which is a few, stretch has been minimal in my personal experience. Good luck
