Wait for a sale on them. You get what you pay for with these shoes. Ive used them as beaters and theyve held up for a really really long time and why not spend more money on a nice pair of shoes that will complement many fits

>>12723754
Not really. Just a plain white sneaker.

>>12723751
Thing that stopped me from getting them was the fact that they are too clean looking. I get that white sneakers are a pretty basic staple in a wardrobe but I can't think of a time where I wouldn't rather wear vans. I prefer beater sneakers. I rarely wear sneakers though so there's that too

>>12723819
not poor. MMM GATS are better

it's a very good shoe. you're not paying for exclusivity or uniqueness the way you would with CCP, BBS or a1923 sneakers but you get what you pay for.
a comfortable luxury sneaker made of high quality materials that can take a lot of abuse and still look great if you give it a good clean.

>>12724154
gats are nice but I prefer the way the CPs age
CPs are easier to clean as well. Some people like them as beaters but I like them as my clean white sneakers.

imo they are obviously not worth that much money

like they just aren't I was gonna buy some but it just felt wrong

>>12723751
No. The quality isn't justified by the price whatsoever. It's not that the quality is bad, but you're definitely paying a considerable amount extra for the brand.

>>12723830
I wore mine through the dirt and they are really nice now. At first they wete blindingly white but now theyre perfect

>>12724154
GATs and CPs shouldnt even be comparedntheyre not even similar looking in any way

>>12724201
Youre right, but they still are really high quality. You can get them on sale for ~200-250 USD

just realised the canvas ones are £265 lmaoooo like at least with leather they can pretend its great quality and that bumps up the price but £265 for plain white canvas ahahahaha

>>12724326

>>12724154
>completely different aesthetic
>cemented

Nope.

>>12724573
wtf u talking about? achilles low isnt more expensive

>>12724573
>caring about cemented construction

nothing wrong with cemented unless you buy poorfag shoes, keep drinking that "quality" kool aid

>>12723751
Nigga, get some Keds for like $20

>>12723830
get the nubuck or gummy ones, matte texture gets rid of that kinda austere, shiny, clean look
also cps are great as beater sneakers, you can get a good several years out of em, even wearing em clubbing and shit like that, esp as they are a non seasonal item unlike a lot of designer sneakers, and kind of bridges that gap between high end and mall sneakers

>>12724796
Will have a look. I like them more when they are at the beaten stage but I obviously wouldn't intentionally destroy them.

>>12724609
That post was about Margiela GATs and so was mine.

someone post that bloody picture
you know the one

>>12724609
Neither are GATs. I copped mine from matchesfashion for $270 brand new.

Well they retail for £290 at most stores anyway.

Just try them in person and see for yourself.

There's no doubt that the quality is top-notch but its really down to what you can afford.

>>12727286
retail MMM GATS cost more lol

>>12727385
The normal GATs (no paint or beads or whatever) retail for $470 whereas the Aquiles Low in white retail for $395.
We're not talking orders of magnitude here.

Many will tell you "why pay so much for a plain white sneaker". My 2 responses are always the same: silhouette, and toe box shape. They are exact and still to this day one of the few brands that nailed it. The reality is most people bitching about CPs don't understand paying $300+, or have an entirely different sense of style. The idiots that keeps comparing Gats to Cps can eat a dick. For some reason people will continue to hate CPs calling it a cuck shoe, just ignore it. They just mad and stuck wearing blown out Vans.

>Are these actually worth the retail price?

Are overpriced £300 sneakers worth £300... Well they're a statement. Meaning these leather plimsoles cost £300...

>>12727981
>achilles low are inspired by an adidas sneaker, as well as mmm replicas

adidas cp ripoffs of the adidas inspired cps.

>>12727981
Am I or anyone else suppose to give a shit that a shoe was "inspired" by another shoe? Are you really *shitting* on CP because you think that they look like a Rod Laver???!? Holy shit you must be trolling nigga.

>>12728030
I don't think anything. It is a fact that the design was inspired by an adidas sneaker. and that sneaker is not even a good sneaker in the adidas library. poorfags brag about this sneaker despite it being a basic bitch sneaker

regardless of how 'well built' they are they won't fucking last

the internet fashion kid circa 2012 connotation is completely overbearing as well, why would anyone want to be associated with gq/complex/mfa/whatever other laggards shill this trash

do you still wear raw denim and peacoats too?

what about VANS?
Also, I like wearing them w/o socks for quick jaunts. Is that degenerate? I also don't tie the laces and instead I tuck them in.

so I bought a pair of these and they fucked up my heels, how do y'all deal with this?

they are worth it on sale. they routinely go for ~200 usd

>>12733507
duct tape. untill the sneaker stretches. Had this issue back when I was starting new job search- wore some cheap black shoes, and after walking 1/4 mile,...

>>12733813
Wouldn't a bandaid over the area be better?

They sell white sneakers at every clothing store in the mall. Why pay that price for something so ordinary

>>12734008

breaking in my bball lows I used combed plasters
had a horrific blister after about 45 minutes of walking but put one of those plasters on and it was instantly better, like you couldn't even feel that you had a blister

Cloth band-aids are ok, but inexpensive plastic ones will bunch up and irritate the blister.

I used duct tape with some paper towel protecting the blister.

I don't get blisters anymore, cause I now only wear the following:

Cheap dockers for crap work around the house.
Vans for jaunts to the store.
For dates casual: Alden Indy Boots.
For formal: Alden Oxfords, black.
Sandals for in the house.
New balance 991 for workouts.
I have only recently been enlightened about Alden shoes (5 years). Speaking of oxfords, anyone else appreciate that scene in Kingsman about the shoes, and the secret password.

>>12734281
pretty good scene but the brogues hate is a little weird ngl
