What is the difference between the normal cps and the premiums? I have a pair of perforated summer archilles which fit ok (wide feet). Is there any difference between the normal archilles, premiums and perforated ones?

ive ordered from NG. i didn't get charged customs. Although in Australia we only get charged if the total bought amount is over $1000

I wish I picked up a pair of the cognac Achilles low from a couple seasons ago, those would be perfect for the fall. Ahhh well, maybe they'll release that color way in the future. Also, I have a pair of CP Achilles Low all white sz 40, unworn, sitting in my closet. If anyone's interested PM me.

Fall winter 2013 discussion:


Not a fan of this premium achilles padding

Some kind of washed nubuck?

Sole looks like a lower profile:

I am still looking for a pair of Bballs in 43 Black, probably my favourite shoe of all time.

Premium sole is different (thinner). I have the black pair, they're nice.

I got them from TBS for 260 shipped after 20% vat deduction and 15% code. Not bad for not having to wait for sales season. Some of those code are still floating around if you can grab one, but I think TBS stock is low on these at this point.

Oh, no. The low premiums. I like the bball in white, would grab a pair if I saw them at a fair price.

Pretty sure bball is on the regular sole (or at least the "vintage" yellowish version).
