I’m very much interested to find out how the others’ toes line up towards the front as well…

To this day, the Achilles Low gas been widely counterfeited thats why I decided to buy the best counterfeit pair I could find just to be able to bring it with me when I bought my first CP low triple white.

Here’s a side by side comparison of a known EUR version I purposely bought to authenticate a new authentic pair.

After all these tears they still can’t get close enough.

Clean white mids always hit…..

Hey everyone, hoping to get some opinions and potentially help here...I purchased my white Achilles over the winter holidays in anticipation to start wearing them in the spring.

I briefly inspected them indoors and kept them in the box. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Today, however, I wore them out for the first time and was shocked at how yellow the shoes looked under natural lighting. It did not look normal to me and honestly I'm quite disappointed.

Has anyone experienced or seen this issue with their previous pairs? I'm wondering if this is normal, a defect, or potentially even a counterfeit?

Is there anything I can do to try and remove the yellowness? I'll have to live with these pairs as I'm way past the return period. Any perspectives would be appreciated!

Thats normal, the white leather just looks different than a bleached white cotton like your socks or your laces.

Appreciate the perspective bows1. The contrast between the leather and my laces/socks was really throwing me off.

I guess it's something I never noticed in previous pairs of white leather sneakers...

For whatever reason my eyes were fixated on that difference today!

It's genuinely what I saw and thought when I wore them out!

Didn't really notice the cream tones as much in the other photos posted here

Hello everyone,

First time post, I would love to get a legit check for these CP Achille Low. Thanks!

Look legit to me.

I have a couple of questions on the CP Achilles Low. I’ve read back around 10 pages and did a quick search but couldn’t find too much on the specifics.

There are two options I’m looking at. The leather is the only real difference (as far as I can see). I’ve read mixed reviews of the full-grain leather. What would you guys recommend?

Achilles Low Original Leather - https://www.mrporter.com/product/3024088872901549 - £340
Achilles Low Full-Grain Leather - https://www.mrporter.com/product/1647597339698231 - £380

I’m also a size UK 8.5. 43 is a UK 9, 42 is a UK 8. I have standard width feet. I’ll probably end up ordering both and returning one but what would the consensus be?
