What do you think when you see someone wearing common projects

>>9449538
depends on the rest of their fit but usually that they're an idiot

>>9449538
i disparage his entire outfit and call him a memehead

what a cool dude (it's always me cuz i've never seen anyone else wearing CPs irl) :-)

Never seen CPs before in public. If I did, my first impression would be he spends too much time discussing fashion on the internet.

Never seen them IRL.
I'd think "wow, he must like simple white sneakers, so he bought simple white sneakers, I sure hope he's happy with them".

And then later on I'll think "I wonder if he's going to make a thread about white sneakers on an Japanese anonymous anime imageboard".

I've always liked these shoes but if I did ever see anyone wearing them irl I would definitely think they were a pleb and probably a "dressed by the internet" fuccboi

Depends on his age
>being over 20
>wearing flat, literal skateboard sneakers

ive never seen them worn irl, but tbh i'd automatically assume he's upper class

>>9449563
What is someone over 20 supposed to wear in your opinion?

Happened once. I Asked him what kind of vans they were. He got upset and tried to hide it explained what they were to me while including how much they cost.

>>9449570
Geobaskets, duh.

No, seriously though. I dont give a shit what people wear as long as they feel comfortable. Who am I to judge? In the eyes of 90% of the people I know I am overdressed constantly.

I simply dislike this specific design of shoes because I associate it with skateboarders.

>>9449563
lol you think CPs are skate shoes

>>9449591
They sure as hell have the same cut, whether you like it or not.

>>9449594
The same cut? What?

That's stupid as fuck. They are derivative of Stan Smiths, eh? A tennis shoe.

>fuccbois

>>9449538

I think they're wearing Common Projects and that's about it.

>>9449601

Which literally are worn by a shit ton of kids who skate.

>>9449538
white pair: try hard
black pair: no trying

I think to myself, "they spent $400 on a pair of white leather sneakers"

>>9449538
first time i saw someone with CPs in the wild I complimented him on them. we're friendly acquaintances now so i see him (and his cps) a decent amount

>>9449538
i thought it's only for playing dress up in waywt threads, ppl really wear this out?

you can get cheap knock-offs that look the same, if you're a label whore go for the CPs.

>>9449603
this

>>9449688
yeah that really prominent branding

>>9449538
I actually saw for the second time in my life a guy wearing CPs. It was some asian dude with a boring fit.

>>9449688
>look the same
>thinking anyone buys CPs for the look

Saw em once, had to follow the person to make sure. It just looks like any other shoe. You buy them to appreciate the quality.

Not really gonna judge tho since anyone who talks shit about CP pricing is obviously a newfag.

>>9449734
some people like plain white leather sneakers
some of those people don't want to fork out money for gold characters on the side

>>9449734
>buy white pair of no name stickers
>priny out the number/letter combination cardboard
>cut out the numbers/letters
>use some gold spray
Woooah, you can now brag with your shoes even though they only cost you 50 bucks.

I will never get why people buy clothes to brag though. Fuck, as soon as the brands name/label is visible on the piece of cloth I immediately stop considering to buy it. Sometimes I even remove the labels from the inside.

>>9449599

>people literally wear these

what the actual fuck

that is disgusting

>>9449582
lmao i think i will do something like this if i ever see anyone wear higher end shoes

>Nice adidas/cons

>>9449733
>It was some asian dude

It seems to always be asians who wear 'internet' brands. Whats up with that.

>>9449806
asians have a lot of free time on their hands and suck at sports

>>9449594
Common projects are slimmer. Also, they're more like an older tennis shoe design.

>>9449594
You have indicated you do not know what skate shoes are, you do not know how to skate and that you are a complete retard because THEY'RE BASED OFF TENNIS SNEAKERS.

>>9449811
What about ping pong?

I live in SF and see them almost everyday. They don't say much about the person wearing them.

I went to Totokaelos and the guy working there had a pair of the white originals. We got to talking about them. He was a pretty cool guy. He definitely dressed better than I did at the time, even if it was just shorts and a shirt of some kind.

When I see someone wearing CP's in real life I just think "neat." That's pretty much it. They've become a pretty popular shoe, at least in men's fashion.

I saw like 2 guys in my college wearing them. One of them had a decent it while the other one looked like shit.
It was pretty surprising to see them on my campus since I go to a poorfag city college

"He/she has nice taste in shoes."

That's about it, really.

>>9449922
>>9449603

Yeah this is the right answer

There's a guy at my uni who wears them. I've only seen him twice.

He doesn't take good care of them at all, and both times they didn't work with his outfit in the least.

I also saw someone wearing black ones in line for a concert I was going to. They looked alright but not $400 alright.

doesnt work with their outfit?, theyre plain white shoes?

>>9449744
THE ONLY response that's real-world reasonable. Almost any other response is riddled with (probably crippling) social disorders.

I got both my pairs of common projects for under $150

>>9450666
>What do you think when you see someone wearing common projects out in public?

>>9450494
>following someone to check out their shoes

"cool they must be somewhat into fashion"

>>9449538
I've seen them irl 3 times

I think, that nigga chose them to go with his outfit, since most people get them online I figure they know what they are buying vs, "I like these shoes, I guess I'll buy em."

I probably wouldn't even have noticed if someone was wearing those lmao

All these fuccbois sniffing around other people's sneakers for CPs

>>9450680
The only not retarded thing to think.

First time I saw someone wearing CPs I thought "cool, those look good". Someone actually complimented mine the other day lol

And Nikes Airs are based off of basketball shoes, yet every kid wears them even though not even playing basketball. Woop di fucking doo. Same applies for fucking Converse shoes.

What a shoes was supposed to be used for and what people actually use them for are two completely different things, ESPECIALLY when it comes so sneakers.

>>9450210
you don't even own CP's you retard faggot

>>9451235
But the moment you say CPs are 'literal skate shoes' it's just a swing and miss man.

>And Nikes Airs are based off of basketball shoes, yet every kid wears them even though not even playing basketball

True, but you can actually play basketball with those shoes.

Ollie once in your CP's and they're fucked. Skate shoes is a fairly broad term used for shoes you can actually skate in without fucking them up immediatly.

>>9449594
>They sure as hell have the same cut, whether you like it or not.

What are you even saying? There are different cuts for skate shoes and nowadays many skate shoes are actually based off tennis shoes.

I honestly see CPs and Ramones on a daily basis
I think "cool" as I walk past them

Seen CPs in action a couple of months ago. Had mixed reactions. First I checked twice for the Margiela numbering, after confirming their authenticity I tried to make eye contact with the dude, like to communicate that we're in the same boat. He wore shades and probably didn't even see me oogling.

Then I thought to myself how much of a faggot he is to spend so much cash on canvas sneakers, looking like a carbon copy of a Zara hip-hop head

>>9451666

Does the majority of /fa/ live in the bush? I see CP and geos all the time at campus.

Probably just toss a nice shoes comment his or her way and go on with my day. If it sparks a conversation, if it doesn't that's fine too. I'm not really a huge fan of CPs outside of white vintage BBall highs with the perforated toe.

why would i care

I'd say cool shoes & share a laugh.

I dont know why but im not really into 'high end' sneakers anymore. I prefer to just get regular brands these days like nike, adidas, converse etc.

gave my higher end sneakers to me dad. So if you see an old guy in dad jeans wearing CPs and stuff its probably my dad XD

>>9449555
>/fa/ sleeping on my trips

>>9449599

>>9450762
I'd be blown out by the surprise of seeing Ricks irl where I live that I probably wouldn't think of anything

>>9449538

I've seen one guy wearing CPs and I said "are those CPs". He said "yeah" and I said "nice"

>>9449538
>oh hey he's wearing common projects

that's about it

sometimes I kinda wonder if he's into some of the same local fashion stores as I am

>>9449603
>>9450680

also level-headed responses

(by the way, I don't even like common projects. I just think it's childish to judge people cause of one brand you don't like)

>>9450762

I saw one guy wearing Rick sneakers in an H&M, I'm assuming they were probably fakes. They dont stick out as much as you would think, I probably wouldnt have noticed anything out of the ordinary if they werent a meme. His fit was meh.

>>9450762
the only time i've seen geoborksets irl, the guy was decked head toe in rick, actually looked pretty good.

To top it off he was Korean, and literally looking down at his phone paying absolutely no attention to the world around him, as two unbelievably gorgeous K-pop star looking girls, one on each arm, walked him through the city.

He was fuck ugly as well, but holy fuck he must be rich as hell

>>9450762
I've seen geobaskets three times now.

every time I think

"Oh shit! He's wearing memebaskets! Should I compliment his fit to show him I know?

hold on a second though are those dreamboxes? I can't tell

I just won't say anything"

>>9449538
Saw a guy in CPs, fishtail parka, black skinnies. I wondered what fashion communities he belonged to. It only stood out to me because I live in the tropics and his fit wouldn't work out outside the air conditioned mall.

>>9449806
they're really sensitive to brands and trends. same reason why they all dress the same too

>>9453410
i wish this statement was true

>>9449538
literal bowling autist

>>9454897
tbh only white trash guys still wear that. the le epikcore guys

I don't recall seeing CPs in particular, but that's kinda the point. They're plain enough that I'm not necessarily gonna pick them out unless the rest of the outfit catches my eye.

Only high end sneakers I have seen in real life are common projects, visvim FBTs, and Kenzo on some FOB girl. The Common Projects were on two 30 somethings that looked straight outta GQ.

The FBTs were on some asian guy walking around with two generic looking white folk. He had on a Supreme 5-panel, sportcoat, jawns, and the FBTs. It actually worked pretty well.

The only real high end menswear store around me though sells both CP and Visvim, so that is probably why they are the only ones I've seen.

>>9449586
There is nothing fucking close to resembling skateshoes about CPs.

Fuck you're ignorant.

>>9451967
Nah. Not really. They're bland and completely overpriced. Even for 200 or less.

Suck it, nerd.

>>9450762
I saw an asian fuccboi wearing those on the street. They looked like fucking clown shoes on him. Also he wore them with zaraninja shit (including a wang x h&m shirt) and i could feel so hard that he just spent all the money he had on this only piece juste to pretend he had "designer stuff" and wore "rick owens".

>>9450762
I'v actually seen Rick much much more than I'v seen CP's. Never seen CP's actually, and I make a point to spot them.

It's just all the asian fuccboi's who have inherited their Yakuza-buks from their parents tho. Only one guy I'v seen pulled them off.

In Manchester btw.

>CPs are bland
No, they are clean, basic, and unoffensive sneakers. The point IS that they are plain, and the only people who don't quite get it are those sneakerheads that plague discussion on shoes. They aren't meant for those sik moonboot fits with your expensive basketball sneakers. CPs are great when you don't want to draw attention to your shoes, which is something that is usually a huge point in men's fashion. Perfect if the rest of your fit is on point, and even if it is pretty mediocre, you can still rest assured knowing that your CPs aren't going to make your fit look like piss like something that a pair of Adidas might do.

If you think CPs are about being "high fashion sneakers" you have no fucking clue about style and should seriously fuck off back to whatever shithole you crawled out of.

>>9449538
I saw a guy wearing CPs at my school once. He actually looked pretty /fa/...seemed like he was a member of the Nordic master race.

>>9450762
Seen Rick twice so far. First time was this black dude wearing the Adidas trainers. My friend (who doesn't know about fashion) asked the guy what the shoes were, and he was a complete asshole. Was probably either autistic or thought he was being /fa/

The second was this skinny Asian qt wearing Geobaskets.

22 would be the cut off line imo, 21 and under still has too much young to it for it to be too old for skater shit

i use my black achilles as work and gym shoes

i wonder if anyones noticed, doubt it tho plus the gold number are almost completely faded on mine and theres holes starting to form on the bottom of the sole from heel drag nd heavy wear :/

also saw a guy outside of supreme wearing white achilles and had an acne bag, was ur typical richboi soho azn, thot it looked nice but thats rly it

i excited and blurt out "common projects" really loudly and wait for a reaction from the person wearing them. if they look over at me, i run away because i'm scared of social interaction.
