Rose anvil brought me here.
I used his coupon code to get my Low 1 ocean essential bundle set for $189 total price, which is an absolute steal imho! :)
what?
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
👍
That video was paid for by competitors, don’t believe
was looking for this kind of a video so thank you
So glad someone was!
Great video. Extremely in-depth
Sold! Thanks Nick. I think you have just resolved my white-summer-sneaker predicament and saved me some money in the process.
Yay! Been waiting for this I saw you rocking this on your Instagram!
I have been waiting for this. Just bought a pair of Oliver Cabell Low 1 in Black!
How long did shipping take?.. Ive been waiting 2 months now
This is the best review I've seen in a while, argumente for both sides and admiting they're pretty similar shoes.
Awesome video and very informative! Your channel deserves many more views!
You did some homework for this one! Didn't go unnoticed 👊
Haha yeah but it meant I didn't put up a video last week, I think I should try a little less
@stridewise Here for the quality not so much the quantity. Much appreciated
@@Stridewise Please don't stop trying. We need you!!
Love your sneaker reviews Nick! Judging from the wear it looks like you like them both. Thanks
Thanks Joe! Yeah they're not pristine out of the box anymore but it's good to show how they look after some wear
Nick, thank you for another great comparison.
Hey thanks a ton dude!
Awesome review😊
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!
Yeah the labor treatment is an overlooked reason for paying extra. You might like this article Jacob! stridewise.com/oliver-cabell-gat-vs-original-gat/
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.
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 thank you!
Love your sign off at the end
Haha thanks Tommy
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.
Yeah I've got two pairs of their boots I'll review at some point Claude. I wonder if the Phoenix or Nothing New has a better carbon footprint!
My heart sank at 9:20. The way it creased I nearly died. LOL
Only two minutes and I have to comment, another great video! Love the content!
Ioannis that means a ton, dude! Thank you. I spent way too much time on this one haha
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.
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"?
I got Greats, and I like them very much.
Will definitely review those as well :)
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.
i really want to know more about the rm-williams surry sneakers
Thank you
Would saddle soap be sufficient to clean these instead of buying their product?
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
I don't think it looks worse than other white sneaks as they age
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.
If the Reids don’t work out for you, try the Greats Royale. They’ve been on sale between $80 and $107; usual retail is $178. Very comfortable sneaker. I couldn’t get the Reids to fit my wide feet after trying a few sizes.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 - Thanks. My feet are a little narrow, so I hope I'll be okay with the Reids.
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?
Thanks Frank! That's a cow jacket from Schott, I even made a wholllllle video about it here just for you ;) th-cam.com/video/V0uOo-9PbkY/w-d-xo.html
How does sizing compare? I’m 43 in Oliver Cabell low 1. Would I be the same size in Common Projects Achilles ?
Do the Oliver cabell sneakers squeak when you walk?
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!
Sizing is like nike, but if you have a wide foot go up one. if you have a narrow foot go down. CPs nor oliver cabell come in half sizes
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.
Ok. U talked me into these. Lol. Saved me $200 over commons so thanks.
hi Nick, what model are these joggers with the elastic in the cuff? thank you
Zanerobe
Isn't the spoken part of this video almost an exact transcript of your blog post about these shoes?
Would love to see you review thousand fell.
Thanks man! They're onnnnn the list
Can you please tell me where Oliver Cabell ships from?
What shirt are you wearing at the beginning? The black one
Buck Mason! fave.co/3dm80r0
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👌
OK.... I bought a pair of something similar 😂
If you can get common projects for the same price which would you pick?
Where do you get your shoes trees for these shoes and others? Thanks!
Try Nordstrom rack, they're always on sale there (if you live where they have one).
Great comparison video. I can't rationalize pay $400+ for CPs when similar shoes are half the price
You realize cp invented the style..
Of course theres recent knockoffs floating
@@adoboFosho not really. It is very old style. Maybe converse invented it first.
@@TunaStrata can you link to it? This looks kinda like adidas but not really at the same time due to the blank feel
Which brand is the most worth buying?
Will you do a dedicated review/comparison of the Koio?
I've got a straight up Koio review coming out in the next couple of weeks, then I might compare! idk if I can offer anything really new on such a comparison but I might try :)
@@Stridewise Nice can't wait for the review!
I wonder how Taft's white sneaker holds up?
I think they're taking it off the market! taftclothing.com/products/the-sneaker-in-white
Another great review. Are you breaking quarantine with that fresh haircut? 😜
haha no that's my hair at its longest in years, I miss barbers
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?
Go for CP’s you will be dissapointed by all the immitators
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.
No white sneaker is worth $500. But if spending $500 on a pair of quality-wise mediocre white sneakers gives you some pleasure from the fact not everyone has the disposable income you do, then it is worth $500, mediocre quality notwithstanding.
@@michaelpark5681 I view that reason alone as an act of stupidity and disgusting excess, but to each their own.
@@ParanoidPixel you pay for the name you fool...just like buying anything apple 😂
He was paid by competitors to make that video, don’t believe
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 Alvin! Chucks are timeless. I'm hoping to move up to two videos a week by the end of the year, trying to really focus on SW
Great review! Have you tried Oliver Cabell boots?
I've got two I need to review!
@@Stridewise Can't wait, man! 👍🏽🤓👍🏽
I wish they have higher platform ones because I am only 5’8
Awwww lol
Ivan Mora you are cute
What shoe is at 1:53?
That's the Reid sneaker! Use the code 'stride' for a discount :D www.beckettsimonon.com/products/reid-sneakers?variant=29621930557519
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.
Crown Northampton makes sneakers with a wide fitting option.
Allen Edmonds
@@shawnj3525 Shawn, just the outsoles or the entire sneaker ?
@@TC-rk9vu
I was referring to the entire sneaker.
I misunderstood your question.
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?
Go for it. There are no rules on that one.
You'll look great in them, age doesn't matter
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: $11.50
why do you think this is?
thats a 36% increase in production costs since this video was released just a few weeks ago. What could account for this?
Steven Jacob the prices for the materials fluctuate, last year the shoes were about 140 and they switched to new manufacturers and materials and they were 200$ when i bought a pair of GAT lows, they are going on sale again, honestly the shoes are still my favorite pair, they are made fairly well and comfortable after breaking in, check out the rose anvil cut down video
How long did the Oliver cabell shoes take to come?
Promptly! A few days?
Ive been waitng 2 months
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.
It's white white!
@@Stridewise Awesome! Thank you!
Can you check out the white minimalist sneakers from Thursday Boots?
Yep, they're coming in the mail right now Aidan!
What about the Greats royale?
It's on the list, Elliott!
... but they're quite a lot chunkier than these shoes
Love mine!
Good video bro! But just be careful, because softer leather does not mean better leather. The contrary is the true.
Comfort-wise, OC or Koio??
I think Koio
Is it really squeeky?
At 15:50 left side nick looks like the terminator
"Come with me if you want Italian sneaker comparisons"
Lockdown hair looks better on you 👍🏼
Haha I hate it Harun, I have no idea what to do with long hair
hot stuff
Is there a white shoe brand that makes shoes like this but for folks with wide feet? My feet cant tolerate Common Projects shoes.
Gustin has a similar sneaker.
Oh cool. I stress about paying for batch orders so far in advance in case they don't fit!
That is only 14% "funded" with a delivery date of October. That's a no from me dog
Her 'squeaking' is a deal breaker😂
Yeah they dismissed it so easily!
So how the fuck do you wedge a double E foot into a D shoe/sneaker???
Sorry guys, at 2:16 I say Oliver Cabell has 7 pairs of eyelets, but it's 8 - two more than Common Projects.

👍
Out of all the white leather sneakers you have tried, which has the largest toe box?
@@jimmyosalla8319 Hmmm. Thursday or Idrese.
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
yeah the squeaky reports came from when the shoe was made differently, different sole in a different country (Spain). But there's also more padding in the heel of Oliver Cabell.
lol doesnt even look like he's wearing different shoes unless you really look at it
Is that a cravar bag you have?
WOW, good eye! I didn't think they were popular enough to be spotted. Yep, it's cravar. I have a bunch of leather bags I'm planning to review but I wanted a leatherworker to check them out first and quarantine kind of kiboshed those plans. But expect leather bags in the future!
@@Stridewise Yeah, cravar is our local pride. Tremendous choice with the F.C. Well, can't wait for some leather bags review nick!
anyone have tips for break in period. Oliver cabells stiff af at first...
Shoulda got CP all these youtubers get paid by the competitors. You got tricked
Nick, Le Marche is not pronounced "Lu maarsh". It's Italian, not French. It's pronounced "Le Marke", exactly how it looks.
Damn it. I speak French and defaulted to it, I'll be more careful in the next video. Thanks man
Thank you for pointing it out.. I learnt one thing new from 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.
Yeah, I mean what are you going to do. I'm not buying new shoe trees for them and if anything they could stand to be a bit wider you know? Haha
@@MakeComedyFunnyAgain or u could get 6 pairs of vans or 800 pizzas from Little Caesers. What's your point?
@@ryanbar1562 If they're too narrow for shoe trees, then they're definitely too narrow for feet.
Will you be reviewing Thursday's Sneakers??
no comparison, the thursday sneakers are not very good. get the beckett simonon at that price point, they are 99 bucks.
@@louiscyfer6944 The tear down of Thursday sneakers showed that they use better materials than the common projects.
@@TheColorfulPube the becket simonon uses better leather than thursday. the common project is not good. the oliver cabell however uses great materials.
@@louiscyfer6944 Worth noting is that the Thursday sneakers are cheaper than all of them.
@@TheColorfulPube not the beckett simonon. i paid 89 for those. i also got the greats royal, built quality and materials much better than thursday, and i got those for 135.
Highly recommend Beckett Simonon or Greats instead.
What’s your rationale?
Greats design is a turn off for me and I think BS is a bit less sleek too
I have both Greats and BS. David, I understand the design style of the greats being a turn off. I felt the same until I tried and purchased a pair. They look alot different in person. They look much better. I do have the white and gum sole. If willing to wait the BS are quality work for such a low price especially with their discounts.
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!
Yeah I lived in France and defaulted to that pronunciation, my bad. One of 7 countries I've lived in, which is why my accent is messed up! These have endured as well as Common Projects, I've used shoe trees and this is what they look like after a couple of months.
I would avoid buying OC just for the customer service alone, it's horrendous.
Yeah I've been hearing that a lot lately :(
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.
True, boots forever
I wouldn't buy a Common Projects considering there are a dozen other options that are virtually identical and half the price.
@@Mister_Phafanapolis and probably made in the same factory using the same cheap material.
@@Mister_PhafanapolisThey created the niche in the market, they invented this style so they can charge high
LOL @ the Ashley Westin clip. She is ridiculous.
Phafanapolis time stamp?
Koio
Dear lord it took me 4 minutes to realize that you had two different shoes on the table....
oh no that's actually both oliver cabell, the common projects is just in the b roll
It's a no-brainer. Get the Cabells. I mean c'mon.
You said that Oliver Cabell has 7 lace eyelets, but they are actually 8
Did I really say that?
@@Stridewise At 2:16
@@GabrielLima-mi4br god damn it! i'll put up a comment, thanks for pointing it out man
@@Stridewise no problem, brother!
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.
True, but there's still no denying that CPs are overpriced for what they are, especially compared to competitors like these. I get that CPs have a slimmer toe box and were the pioneers of the white leather sneaker market, but upon release they were nowhere near as expensive as they are now.
@@TheGungunn101 Yes the price is definitely luxury brand markup but my guess is that's not news to anyone
Its amazing how much damage that Rose Anvil did to both the leather and footwear community. Pure misinformation that tricked many into buying shitty shoes
tie your shoes if you don’t want them to squeak
Hold up I’ve seen this guy before review protein shakes?? Am I tripping?
Haha that was my old job where I learned how to do videos, before I started my own thing!
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
Converse 70's look so much better than these two. Plus they are cheaper.
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.
Yes the customer service sucks!
New laces cost $10 on Amazon.
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.
I think we all knew that deep inside. The fact that they were like 280 EUR before becoming popular says enough.
rose anvils review kept saying how bad chrome tanned leather is even though veg tanned leather would look awful in white sneakers. Being honest it wasn't that good review.
Strong user, what he says is not as important as what he's showing by cutting it in half. You can see for yourself the material and construction quality and make your own decision whether it's worth the price or not. *It's not*
@@PT111111 That's a different point entirely. Rose Anvil is right in that CPs are extremely overpriced for what they charge for. That doesn't necessarily mean the materials CP uses are "wrong" or "bad". Like Nick said, virtually every leather sneaker maker uses chrome tanned leather. All of these CP competitors price their shoes at around $150-$250, and for that price chrome tanned leather is absolutely fine.
They look like dollar store shoes .
You probably wanna size down cause your shoes are just all over the place when you're walking. I noticed that most guys are newbs when it comes to buying the right shoe size.
If you're gonna spend that much money on sneakers, then at least buy the right size.
How you make your shoes after two weeks of wearing look like a year old smh
Hey man I use shoe trees and everything I swear. Are yours really wrinkle free after a month?
