achilles lows are so simple and clean, they can exist outside of fashion. why wouldnt ppl be buying them for a long time to come?

if theyre still around, i could see myself wearing them when im 35+.

That defense works up only up to a point, but for CP's the spot has been overblown for some time now. go to any major NYC subway station and you can spot at least 3 pair. without the exclusivisity its hard to justify a 300+ price tag for some basic sneakers, regardless of how well made they are.

I didn't see a single person sporting them in paris or milan.

they sell them at theory outlets...nough said.

[christianjustin]

Did you get those from RC? They seem darker than the stock pics, or maybe its the lighting in your pic. How are you planning on wearing those? Dress or day-to-day?

I'd like some CPs, but probably not for the price currently.

they tend to fade if they are let out in sunlight for a while. probably the reason

oh snap since it's 09, i can see them in other peoples feet in nyc and no one in paris or milan is sporting them, i guess i will stop wearing and buying what i consider to be the best looking sneakers with the best shape there is around for whatever price tag you consider.

thanks, i don't know what would be of me without the snob patrol.

best shape? u are retarded. everyone uses that sole and silhouette now. My point simply is that people concerned with fashion should be a bit more discriminating. Get some Yohji's or something with a little more flava. The luxurious minimalism of CP's is no longer refreshing after they diversified their line. With their new array of styles they introduced towards the end of 08 they have yet to come up with a new design that was as on point as the classic achilles was once upon a time.

And the point about NYC is not about european superiority--its just that they are too often seen on the feet of the wrong kind of person.

thats the problem with flava. it gets real old real quick.

there are some parts of my wardrobe that i'd like to think are constant regardless of changing tastes and customs, akin to my own personal style.

i think cp's (esp. the white achilles low) have a look about them that lends itself to permanence. kind of like a modern day spring court? minus the history of course

im just waiting for the mainstream to jump off the bandwagon, which i dont think will be long.

retarded? you sir, are a fucking tool.

although the soles are the same, the top construction proportions are quite different and affects the overall shape of the sneakers.

yohji's toebox is a bit "shorter" than the acchiles because the laces are closer to the toe , so are neil barret's and lanvin's lowtops because they have a shorter toebox than , for example, cp court shoes, which imo makes the shoes look slightly more bulky and less pleasing to the eyes. i also have a pair of yohji's and although i like them a lot, i prefer the acchiles, court shoe lows and bball lows shape.

i don't care how many shitty oxfords or boots they made, the fact is that the rest of the line is still great.

if you feel diminished and start disliking something you once liked because "the wrong kind of person" is wearing it now, specially in something so unbranded as a pair of cp's that can't have any bad connotations associated with it like some brand whose pieces have easily recognizable logos, you are a snobbish insecure person. a bad demographic can ruin let's say,a brand like evisu, but they can't ruin a brand like CP.

but hey, go ahead and buy those yohjis or whatever with a bit "more flava" (more like "different and cooler brand name so i don't feel like one of those low lifes on the subway") because you will feel way cooler. at the end of the day you're just coming out with excuses to not look like a snob

[jl3969]

you both have your points.

malaesthetique is right about CPs being completely overpriced for basic sneakers. but that doesnt mean ppl should stop wearing them if they find them for less than retail (less than 200)

egpt is right about malaesthetique being a snobby prick. although thats not really looked down upon here on sufu.

i guess one good thing about the bad brains/vans/supreme pieces is that its getting a grip of new poseurs into hardcore if at all slightly.
