Whew thanks for this one. I couldn’t see myself paying $400 for sneakers, this is a wonderful alternative I can deal with.

@ardentdfender4116 2 жыл бұрын

Upgrading my Wardrobe continues and I'm glad to have found this video that I was trying to find but found it accident watching something else. I do not yet own a pair of pure white dress sneakers. But based on your review i like 1, 2 and 4. They not gonna be something i wear often, but i'm working at adding 1-2 pairs in. Surely appreciate this video.

@Unamatrix01 3 жыл бұрын

Quite an interesting video,I have the Greats Royale in white and Navy.I would also recommend as low cost yet stylish alternatives the Adidas Stan Smith, Samba, and Vans Old Skool.

@christophergibson4449 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I do own a pair of Common Projects and the one thing I don't like about them is the back heel is too low. I know that I don't have big heels but it feels like I'm wearing a mule...lol. So, I am excited to see that there are some alternatives and cheaper ones at that.

Dope content O.G, I was definitely wondering when you were going to do another minimalist review...I seen a few already, but always good to get perspective from someone I’m more on brand with✊🏾...so what’s the crease factor on the Koio sneakers

Family, I'm not gonna lie, I found your KZfaq channel yesterday and already watched 40 or so videos. Love everything that you are doing. I'm definitely taking all of the styles that you have recommended. I'll forever be appreciative for this. I do have one request....In the future if possible, could you do a video on what really muscular men should and should not wear. I play college football and all of the squats and deadlifts have limited some of my fashion options over the years. It would be really cool if you could help out the buff boys so we won't have to resort to wearing nike sweat suits all the time. All love boss man.

A great brand which is often over-looked is Mephisto, active since the 60's, all hand made in France and Portugal using the finest materials, leather lining and also 100% natural rubber sole, the Mephisto Cristiano in white is the model. Its a brand known for durability and comfort because they emphasize orthotics and the gait in all their shoes and they have their own air cushioning in the heel and anatomically shaped cork and leather foot-beds. I have a pair and they haven't disappointed me. You seriously get the same if not better craftsmanship and materials, with more than 60 years of no-how, plus a patented cushioning system, for a lower price than Common Projects.
