Common Projects Spring/Summer 09

[kidaradio]

yup colette just did shit picking up those colourways...

i agree, i guess i did kinda start this post off in a negative light...but that was the only pic for this upcoming season that i could find

and your right colette did a terrible job w/ their selection...

but that doesn't take away from the fact that Common Projects dropped the ball w/ season....

[16steps]

those tourney lows in white will be pretty slick....itll make up for not getting the court shoes

ha, nvm. picked up court today

[HBlack]

rough leather patch? inside or out? i don't recall seeing/feeling a rough leather patch...then its been a while since i worn em...

got a pic?

it's on the inside, can't get a clear pic. kinda looks like it's just the rough back of leather. Any idea if it's supposed to be like that?

[notesee]

They're starting to cater to the kids who try to take 'em outta Odin.

Yes, they're in CDN dollars... but $100 more this season for the same shoe? Fuck this APC school of pricing. I wonder if Revolve will finally discount the old models when they get these, and I'll just grab all the old stuff.

Those prices are only if you're using a Canadian IP. Try with an American IP, the prices are more in line with Revolve et al. For some reason, SSsense is pricing their CP shoes ~1.48 times more than USD for Canadian customers. I didn't see the same thing for other brands; those were in line with the exchange rate or even cheaper.

Tyler from blackbird mentioned it a while back when I tried to order them. Told him I'd just wait until this season and he said not to since they wouldn't be back. Dunno why since they're better than the Achilles.

Meh. Even if these are the same prices as current ones, I'm not really interested. I don't mind the red ones if I were using them for a very specific look, but for the price of CP's it doesn't make sense.

Next time Revolve has a good coupon deal or actually put CP's back on sale, I'm just going to grab what I want and be done with them.

yup colette just did shit picking up those colourways...

And CP did shit choosing those colourways....

I never liked the achilles until i saw them in person. Their shape isnt too well represented in pictures online

Agreed, I like last season's as well. It seems more like SSense has made a mistake in their pricing or are offering it at a premium as not many places up North even have the new line yet.

i actually like those tournament mids a lot, but i dunno how they would work with skinny jeans(jeans not tucked)

[Desi]

well H(y)r collective issue 10 is out and he has all the CP models up just like he said. Yeah the tourney's in low still is my favorite. Safari boot is hot too but the tourney mid velcro can not be saved.

[Fycus]

The mid captoes in black look decent.

[kidaradio]

yea i just checked out the article hyrcollective put on there site and i left a little relieved. but i agree the tourney mid velcro can not be saved...at least not by me.

Even though most of the shoes are shit this season. I'm seriously considering copping the Tournament lows in light grey:

[ethanlee29]

some info you guys probably already know.

unfortunately the price went up drastically this season. The new price will be $495. This is due to an increase in the wholesale price.

Common Projects are definitely aiming at becoming a higher-end brand,

comparable to Gucci or Prada, and hence the increase.

[b.e-n]

^are they serious?!

[Skirv]

I am disappointed as most of you are with the new season. My Court-Mids came today from the UK. I was lucky to find a pair for a STEAL.

[kidaradio]

where the hell did you hear/read/find this?!? that is ridiculous...$400+?!?

[kidaradio]

wow...

thanks ethanlee29...

i just watched the complete lineup on the common projects homepage (slideshow) and i'm still unimpressed....i guess i was expecting too much (more).

There are a few shoes that i would consider but not for $500...no way!
