Rose anvil brought me here.

After watching the Rose Anvil video on the common projects, I know the small advantages of the common projects are nothing but placebos because they cost so much

Sold! Thanks Nick. I think you have just resolved my white-summer-sneaker predicament and saved me some money in the process.

Sorry guys, at 2:16 I say Oliver Cabell has 7 pairs of eyelets, but it's 8 - two more than Common Projects. ✪ Also, check out my 10 Best Boots On the Market! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9Gle9yqysyyd3k.html

Yay! Been waiting for this I saw you rocking this on your Instagram!

Awesome video and very informative! Your channel deserves many more views!

Great video. Extremely in-depth

was looking for this kind of a video so thank you

I have been waiting for this. Just bought a pair of Oliver Cabell Low 1 in Black!

This is the best review I've seen in a while, argumente for both sides and admiting they're pretty similar shoes.

You did some homework for this one! Didn't go unnoticed 👊

Love your sneaker reviews Nick! Judging from the wear it looks like you like them both. Thanks

Hey Nick. Hope you are doing well. Very nice review of these nice sneakers. I think it’s a tough call, but I think i would go with the Oliver Cabell. Having said that I probably would watch this video one more time before deciding which sneaker I would pick. Nice job, as always!

Great video. I really appreciate all the on-feet shots. It helps a lot. I was especially worried about the area where the first pair of laces are at. In many shoes of these type the leather flares open.

My heart sank at 9:20. The way it creased I nearly died. LOL

Awesome review😊

Nick, thank you for another great comparison.

Only two minutes and I have to comment, another great video! Love the content!

Great video thank you!

Been Looking at the Oliver Cabell GAT's For a week to go with my ever growing collection of boots. I'm really happy you took a good look at these it made me a lot more confident to go ahead and get what I want. Considering a lot of more mainstream brands are starting to charge 120 bucks for fake leather sweatshop shoes paying 60 more bucks and getting real leather and real Italian materials seems more and more like the way to go!

Love your sign off at the end

Great video, great info; thx. I had posed this question to The Kavalier & The Modest Man & wanted to know your thots. I'm partial to textured/pebbled leathers & wondered how the sneakers from To Boot NY match up against these? Also, on the question of leathers, which would be better or more desirable between "full-grain tumbled calf leather", "Italian calf leather" & "Italian alpine deer-skin"?

Thank you for the video, just a question on sizing Oliver Cabell, if I am 39 in Common Projects, should I opt for 39 in Oliver Cabell as well? Thank you in advance.

If you don't like the price, you can always go for the Phoenix, which has uppers 3-D printed from old water bottles. OC also offers nice ankle boots with stitch-down welts for around $200. Sewn in Spain.

Hey Stridewise, you should look at artisan lab's sneakers. They look like a one for one match with the CP's except for the gold numbers.

Hi Nick, great vid! Have a question, the leather jacket you are wearing at 1:10, is that lamb? Do you have the model or the company of that jacket?

i really want to know more about the rm-williams surry sneakers

Another great video. Regarding the sizing, I know what I wear in sneakers and I know what I wear in leather boots/shoes, so would these size like regular sneakers (Nike, New Balance, etc) or would these size like my leather shoes (AE, Thursdays, etc)/boots (Thursdays, Nicks, etc)? Thanks man!

Mate, I'm in Aus. Not too many OC's and CP's available here. A few days ago I saw some white minimalist RM William sneakers and was wondering what your thoughts are on them? Thank you.

a lot of other people say the common projects leather starts to look unappealing as a lot of creases start to form at the toe area

How does sizing compare? I’m 43 in Oliver Cabell low 1. Would I be the same size in Common Projects Achilles ?

Ok. U talked me into these. Lol. Saved me $200 over commons so thanks.

Do the Oliver cabell sneakers squeak when you walk?

Thank you

I wasn't a fan of the 7 eyelets on the Low 1's. Same deal with the Beckett Simonon Reids. So, I was seriously considering the Koio Triple White Capris. They're cheaper than Common Projects, and I flat out like their look better. But then I remembered that I have a wife and kids, so I settled for the Beckett Simonons. 😅 $105 shipped. Just have to wait until August, but I won't be going anywhere for awhile anyway because of COVID-19.

Would saddle soap be sufficient to clean these instead of buying their product?

hi Nick, what model are these joggers with the elastic in the cuff? thank you

Isn't the spoken part of this video almost an exact transcript of your blog post about these shoes?

Another great review. Are you breaking quarantine with that fresh haircut? 😜

I got Greats, and I like them very much.

Can you please tell me where Oliver Cabell ships from?

If you can get common projects for the same price which would you pick?

Would love to see you review thousand fell.

Where do you get your shoes trees for these shoes and others? Thanks!

Which brand is the most worth buying?

Will you do a dedicated review/comparison of the Koio?

I love my white trainers but hard to justify buying anything over the price of Converse OX 🤔 however knowing me I would like to try out a more premium white trainer👌

What shirt are you wearing at the beginning? The black one

I am confused between Koio vs Oliver Cabell, read so many negative reviews on TrustPilot on Oliver Cabell for their discomfort, especially vs Koio which doesn't have any break-in period. Could you recommend which one to go for between these two brands?

Great comparison video. I can't rationalize pay $400+ for CPs when similar shoes are half the price

Great review! Have you tried Oliver Cabell boots?

I wonder how Taft's white sneaker holds up?

Most dress shoes/boots are going to have those same nails in the heel. Very common and it's just for sturdier construction.

Rose Anvil does a great teardown of the Common Projects sneaker and points out how they are incredibly overpriced and poorly made for what you are getting.

What shoe is at 1:53?

I wish they have higher platform ones because I am only 5’8

How long did the Oliver cabell shoes take to come?

Hey Nick, Can you advise us if you know of any sneaker companies that have available WIDE outsoles that are in this category like Oliver Cabell and the like ? Margom doesn’t produce any. Hopefully one day they will.

I think I will stick to my Chuck Taylor for quite a while Nick. Otherwise, great review! Wish you can make videos more often.

Thanks for the video. I’m 69. What’s your opinion on older men wearing white sneakers? I like the look but hesitate because white sneakers are often seen more appropriate for the young guy. What do you think?

The price breakdown seems to be different when i check it now. Leather: $26.04, Lining: $8.12, Outsoles: $6.60, In-soles: $3.80, Cutting/Manufacturing/Quality Control: $34.88, Packaging: $3.96, Transit: $12.43, Duties: $5.36, Shipping: $11.50 why do you think this is?

Is it really squeeky?

Can someone tell me if the Oliver Cabell is a true white or is it a grayish or bluish white that some sneaker company calls it white even though it is not a true white.

So how the fuck do you wedge a double E foot into a D shoe/sneaker???

Can you check out the white minimalist sneakers from Thursday Boots?

Comfort-wise, OC or Koio??

What about the Greats royale?

Is there a white shoe brand that makes shoes like this but for folks with wide feet? My feet cant tolerate Common Projects shoes.

hot stuff

lol doesnt even look like he's wearing different shoes unless you really look at it

At 15:50 left side nick looks like the terminator

Her 'squeaking' is a deal breaker😂

Good video bro! But just be careful, because softer leather does not mean better leather. The contrary is the true.

Lol How could it be squeaky and CP not, if they have the exact same sole Edit: I forgot to say that the video came up really good, congratulations

Is that a cravar bag you have?

Yikes, almost half a grand for plain white sneakers that look like $20 Payless shoes. I guess I just don't get the whole "white sneakers" thing.

Gustin has a similar sneaker.

Lockdown hair looks better on you 👍🏼

Common Projects are too narrow for shoe trees. You can see the side of the shoes/vamp stretched out at 8:20 and when you're handling them.

Nick, Le Marche is not pronounced "Lu maarsh". It's Italian, not French. It's pronounced "Le Marke", exactly how it looks.

I would avoid buying OC just for the customer service alone, it's horrendous.

I'm so confused by your accent. It sounded like Aussie at times and then American. And I cringed every time you pronounced Le Marche (en français as opposed to in intaliano) but I see that someone has already commented on that. LOL! Can you comment on how much wear this particular pair of Oliver Cabell has endured? It looks slightly beat up. Thanks for the review!

anyone have tips for break in period. Oliver cabells stiff af at first...

Dear lord it took me 4 minutes to realize that you had two different shoes on the table....

LOL @ the Ashley Westin clip. She is ridiculous.

Will you be reviewing Thursday's Sneakers??

It's a no-brainer. Get the Cabells. I mean c'mon.

Highly recommend Beckett Simonon or Greats instead.

Here come rose anvil references... that video is flawed in both sneaker construction knowledge and leather selection. Nick actually researches why chrome tanning is used in sneakers as seen in this video.

You said that Oliver Cabell has 7 lace eyelets, but they are actually 8

Koio

tie your shoes if you don’t want them to squeak

Common projects are way better. Customer service at Olivier Cabell is horrible. I was dealing with Catherine. Wanted to return the item and exchange for smaller size. I needed to pay a return costs from Australia which is 30% of product price 😂plu a handling fee. It was delivered to them a week ago and when I followed up they told me to wait! Do not compare it to comon project where the customer service is very nice and helpful

I ordered the Oliver Cabell in size 12 and the laces are way too short. I went back and forth with their useless helpdesk who kept repeating the same line... that I don't need to lace them all the way to the top. I wish! That's not even my issue. Even if I lace them only to the second eyelet, I still don't have enough lace to properly tie them and that creates a ton of tension on the lace and shoe whenever I try to lace them. These laces will not last a month if I wear them with these tiny laces. Helpdesk didn't understand nor cared to understand. What a waste of $250. If you are taller than average, buy your shoes elsewhere.

Hold up I’ve seen this guy before review protein shakes?? Am I tripping?

They look like dollar store shoes .

Converse 70's look so much better than these two. Plus they are cheaper.

I would recommend watching Rose Anvil's video on the Common Projects. He cuts them in half and examines exactly what they are made of. They are definitely not worth anywhere near even a quarter of what they are charging.

A foot into a mug it’s -$0

WTF is La Marche in Italy? there is no "La Marsh" in Italy. There is a region called Marche, which is pronounced MAR.KE
