    The Official Common Projects Thread

    I probably received counterfeit Common Projects Achilles lows from one of those Italian fashion outlet online stores selling old stock. The leather seems off, more shiny, flat and worse quality compared to my older pairs. Also, there's brass nails but insole is not properly glued. What would you...

    I have two pairs of these 2053 models. One with navy and one with black inner. The fit is better and it is sad to see that this model got discontinued. As someone who has owned more than 10 pairs of different Common Projects, I think this is the best one both quality and width-wise. In your...

    The Artist is Absent: The Official Maison Martin Margiela Thread

    Is there a difference between men and women replica sneakers? Both go up to size 41 and are 22 line.

    This pretty much sums it up pretty well. I'd say regular Achilles lows are just fine. However, I've noticed that their older pairs, especially special editions and premium models are nicer quality. You can often tell it from leather alone. Still my favorite sneaker brand. In my opinion the...

    Just buy those "Greats" or whatever if you don't even trust one of the most legit retailers around. Me and my friends have bought probably 20+ pairs of Common Projects from Caliroots. They don't sell fakes.

    in any newer generation Bball you'll need the same EU size as in Converses or Nike air force 1s. In example Common Projects 41 (US8) would fit the same as US 7.5 (41 in Converse 70s) or US 8 (EU 41) in Nike Air Force 1 lows. This comes from someone who has had more than 12 pairs of CPs. As I...

    There has been differences between different Achilles models. For example some of the suede/nubuck leather models got slightly different fit and shape than their leather models. It is also possible that they've changed their manufacturers since bball 88 (2250) model had awful quality compared...

    I'm pretty sure that the sizing has been changed. I recently got a pair of bball 88 (model ref 2250) lows in a size 40. It was about a size shorter than my achilles lows. Both are a size 40 and bballs felt way too small. The outer sole length was 0,5 cm shorter as well. My achilles lows in a...

    Anyone tried bball 88 model (2250)? I wonder if they fit the same as achilles low or smaller. The number starts with 2 but I'd like to hear from someone who actually tried them. In my experience some of the bball models such as nubuck ones fits smaller than achilles low models.

    I wear US 8.5 in every other Nike model except AF1.

    I'm between two sizes (40 and 41) in CPs. Wear US 7,5 in 1970s Converses and US 8 in Nike AF1. My experience with different models. Original achilles low: sz 40 fits a bit too narrow and 41 are just too long. I prefer 40 but there's better fitting models available for me. Original achilles...

    Chrome tanned leather isn't just a bit cheaper leather to produce. White achilles low model wouldn't look the same with vegetable tanned leather. There has been veg tanned and full-grain Common Projects models before. If you've been following the brand, then you'll know it. Some people don't...

    Not a surprise. There's a good reason why Common Projects are more expensive than Greats or whatever. Common Projects have been around for a long time and are known for their designs. Their designs are excellent compared to some cheaper alternatives. Price is dependent on the interaction between...

    no problem. Didn't mention but my little brother got 2155 bballs and some of the achilles models and he wears the same size. I've been looking for that 2155 model too but don't wanna pay the retail.

    The newer nubuck bballs are smaller than my achilles. I size down in achilles but had to go true to size in nubuck bballs. I'd try the same size as achilles in this 2155 model though. Nubuck bballs felt more narrow than achilles as well. Navys are from fransboonestore. Got them recently with...

    Margom soles alone doesn’t say much about shoe size. Even some of the CP models fit larger than others. A lot of brands uses Margom soles in nowadays. For example sz 41 in original leather Achilles lows are too long for me, 41 in newer bball models fits just fine. Always try when possible or...

    This model was called achilles low special edition. They released only black and white colors back in 2016. I liked both a lot. Black ones were really cool. The finish could have been rubberised as End says...

    Fransboonestore got some great CP deals. Use the code FINAL50%. They still have my all the time fav achilles low model in stock (sizes 41 and 46). I wore this pair more often than plain whites...
