>>11288137
well maybe not completely trashed but bad enough for me to never wear them. they're messed up on the inside too.

>>11288129
is that a phone in the background? are you a drug dealer?

>>11286734

Show trees go a long way with leather shoes like these.

>>11285901
Lmfao this picture is genius.

Perfectly captures what CPs are: an average shoe that literally no one will notice IRL

>>11288489
That's kind of the point of Common Cucks. Minimalist and understated.

>>11288158
common projects quality is abysmal

hence all the destroyed up pics of them. similarly priced shoes like mmm GATS dont go to shit like this

if you buy them you are literally the dumbest cuck ever

>>11288517
I understand that. But to spend $450 on a basic af shoe just seems silly to me

Id rather spend that money on a more fulfilling experience, since all you're paying for is the experience of wearing a decent quality leather shoe that looks normal as fuck

>>11288517
Dont get me wrong, I've spent over $450 on a pair of shoes before, but they were dress shoes and I work in a rich/conservative industry, so some people actually do take note of the quality of your shoes.

But, again, to spend that kind of money on a leather sneaker that only you will notice just seems like a bit much

>inb4 "lolz fagit u wear clothes for other people"

Stop lying to yourselves. Fashion is something that's meant to be expressive, at best.

>>11288536
$450 on a shoes that do not last, not by any stretch of the imagination. is retarded

they're literally redd ithead autist cuck shoes, i've never seen anyone IRL wearing these pieces of shit

6 years of common projects being internet shoes and still getting retards from both sides - when will it end?

>>11288532
>>11288536
>>11288545
What other sneakers would you recommend then besides pleb shit like Stans and nigger swag abominations?

>>11288576
get 2nd hand mmm gats off grailed

cheaper, nicer and much better quality than cuck projects

>>11288579
gats are way more pleb (lol sneakrs that cost $10, but its mmm, that you buy 2nd hand) and instant way of finding the eurocuck

>>11288536
CPs are popular here because they're just expensive enough to seem exclusive but still be obtainable to a student working a minimum wage job, while plain and ordinary enough that no one in their shitty small town will give them shit for wearing

It is a little weird to see teenagers going nuts over what are basically the Stans of the tax bracket above them

>>11288639
To me they are just the perfect minimalist sneaker and the EU price is pretty worth it for something I enjoy. Also like that it's just very understated, fits with almost anything and isn't seen as flexing.

I don't understand why people think common projects are bad because they're expensive, they're just not made for people like you. Common projects are not special, there's no point if you have to save to buy them, just get something cheaper or something more interesting at that price point. If you can spend $400 without thinking too much and want minimalist sneakers CPs are for you.

>>11288473
Yeah, I've been having trouble finding a pair of shoe trees that fit my 40 EU CPs. The one pair I did buy feel like it might be making too much pressure on the heel.

Got a pair of the closest thing to brand new white bball lows for sale. size 41. should've got size 40 >.>

tried on once on carpet indoors for less than 1 minute lmao.

interest check

>>11289471
What is your size in Chucks?

>>11289491
8.5 chucks, 9 vans, perfect 41 in birks

recommended for a true 42/9

>>11288714
They're bad because the quality is bad

>>11288545
good thing I only dress for my self.

>gats are way more pleb (lol sneakrs that cost $10, but its mmm...)

they are just inspired by the cheap german ones. they aren't manufactured in the same place or just rebranded as MMM or something. They are made in Italy just like CPs... not that "made in Italy" is an indicator that something is super high quality, but I don't see how saying mmm gats "cost $10" makes sense at all.

The made in germany stans look better IMO. AL's just look too minimal for my taste.

I was at Nordstrom yesterday looking tto try on some Mids (which of course they didn't stock) and the dude working that section said they're having a sale on May 23rd. Dunno if that's storewide or just that particular store but if anyone was interested

>>11289771
well cp's don't really appeal to grown men with decent wages

cp's almost exclusively cater to teenagers with part time jobs, so that $400 price point probably represents a significant portion of their cash on hand, and most likely their earnings for half a year.

while i paid time warner $424.32 for this last month just right now in the other tab....

i would look absolutley ridiculous in teenager kid sneakers

>>11290696
>$424.32
>For cable
Nigga....what the fuck are you doing?

reminder that CPs are absolutely not worth the money, and you're just paying for shitty numbers when you can get equivalents made in the same factory for much cheaper (Svennson etc)

>>11285901
is this a cringe thread? such a horrible picture in every way, wtf man

>>11288106
nice

eh, speak for yourself

>>11286447
>Size 8

A fellow manlet. I'd buy if I didn't get trashed and blow 350$ on clothes in a drunken haze the other night.

>>11290720
this is what being a grown man means to him

>>11290696
Yeah nice try.

>>11288106

>>11290696
this ugly fatso reaches for the moon every time he posts smfh lmao

>>11286727
Because I have lows as well, and don't wear the highs as much as I thought I would.

>>11286734
Shoe trees. Jos A Bank has sales on them every now and then.

>>11289752
you took the post way too seriously cuck

>>11290696
>$400 price point probably represents a significant portion of their cash on hand
I bought CPs when I was 16, have to agree that they appeal mostly to teenagers. That being said, with a part time job and ebay the $300 I payed was pretty much nothing, don't regret it at all.

>>11295062

please don't use shoe trees for CPs, they're fucking sneakers

>>11295276
>how dare you try to keep your expensive shoes in good condition!!!

>>11295289
>cps
>expensive
looooooool

>>11295289

I'm just saying...I have a couple CPs and I treat them as they are: sneakers. If I was such a pansy ass about them I wouldn't wear them as much cause "mah expensive shoes"

Maybe that's just me though, cause I don't understand the idea of keeping them clean too.

The only shoes Id want to keep clean and in good condition are dress shoes.

>cp general
oh my days this board has gone down the shitter

>>11295297

Why are you all so delusional? The leather on these shoes isn't even that fucking nice

Am I a fag for considering buying slightly used

>>11296548
dude
it's 400 dollaros for brand new,i dont think buying used is a bad idea at all

>>11296552
Cool. I was considering buying them new off END, but I'm just now realizing I might get hit with a crazy customs fee

>>11295276
>>11295302

I just don't wan't my shoes to smell.

>>11295079
well gats are cheap sneakers you buy at surplus store for $10, why do you have to write a paragraph justifying its way more than it should be? same level as buying "designer" sweatpants, cuck
