My boy got some grey Common Projects. Them joints are really nice. Can't see myself dropping $400 though :mjcry:

What other shoes match that same profile?

Greats
Koio (the closest IMO)
Oliver Cabell
M Gemi

I know I'm missing others but I think Koio looks similar. I've seen both CPs Greats (I own two pair) and Koios in person so I think I have a good idea.

With that said I'll probably wait till CPs go on sale and get some.

@Heafcliffe I like the fit honestly.

NP breh :takedat:

BTW with Greats, they are good shoes but they have a larger form factor than CPs and Kois. They have Italian Leather / Margom Sole though.

We're heading into Fall so honestly I don't need any white sneakers right now but I want them so I can wait for a CP sale.

The Koios have very supple leather, probably slightly better than CPs. But the thing is that CPs will drop in price periodically to the same as Koios, the CPs win in that case. Just some thoughts!

Good info. How can I anticipate CPs going on sale? I’d cop if they dipped about $150 on a sale for the grey ones.

Also, what are some good site for high quality sneakers that may fly under the radar like a Koio?

I'm gonna set up alerts for /r/frugalmalefashion

They will drop to $250 or so if I recall corr correctly. I follow valetmag, uncrate, dappered, and Reddit for fashion stuff. Oh and IG is also a great resource.

Alright got my Crockett and Jones loafers in the mail today. I will say the inner lining leather is VERY soft and supple. Nice form factor. The sad new is that they are slightly bigger. I thought a 10E would be the best fit for me given my sizing in other European shoes. I will have to go down in size.

So I'm going a half size down on those loafers. They are mad comfortable. I know I will have to get some other shoes by them in the future.
