Thanks for the review.😊 Very helpful bro.
Great video Trav!! Thanks for the great info!
Thanks!
Great vid man it’s clear you did your research
Very well done insightful video.
For the price New Republic, @4:54 look at the fold/buckling underneath the bottom eyelets this does not seem to be an issue with the other two
Appreciate the comparison!
Looking for Taft sneaker reviews and I believe this is the first on TH-cam.
Great video bro! Very informative
Thx Nick!!
very insightful, appreciate the work on the research... well done 👍
Maybe should have worn all of them for the same amount of time
Josue Vlogs/Games Right! You can’t just wear the shoe that’s most expensive for 1/3 of the amount of time as the cheapest shoe and then make claims about quality like you treated them equally. Wear them all for the same amount of time and then make a conclusion.
@@AlexMixaha Exactly, can't agree more. Pretty sure if take a pair of CP and beat them to death they will look shit as well
Exactly!!! Also if you don’t know the info about a shoe why make a review on it ?
Don’t know the leather, don’t know the lining ….. just weird
Not a fair comparison , the NR shoes were worn four months longer then the CPs and three for the Taft.
What are your thoughts about the nuno white leather sneakers from Idrese
how come I can’t find the colored inside anywhere I look?
anyone knows a brand that carries Taft/Common Projects quality women's leather sneakers with sizes 4 or 4.5? or at least kids sizes? or custom make them? 🙏🙏🙏
If I wear 8.5 adidas shoes nikes what size will I be for CP?
It’s not about the value for me, it’s all in the silhouette. The Achilles Low silhouette shits on every other sneaker out there. The rest just look goofy in comparison. That’s why I keep going back to them.
I only get them when they go on sale though. I’ve never paid retail.
where do you access those Common Projects shoes? i can never access their website
Hmmmm..... love all the shoes.... love your eyes... subscribed!
Dog looks bored life less 😂😂😂😂😂 great video really cool thanks for the info👍👍👍
He doesn't care about sneakers. He wants to be fed. lmao
Taft and Kurt wrinkles are the same but Kurt you been wearing 6 months,I'll say that's a positive for the kurt
Great review, really appreciate that you took the time to make this video. Just a quick question. What about the true to size fit? I've heard that CPs tent to run a size bigger. Would you say that Taft or New Republic are true to size? Thanks!
They’re both true to size in my experience!
They do run large. I wear US12 on my Onitsuka, Timberland boat shoes and recently the Oliver Cabell Low 1.
Tried a Common projects at a local retailer of mine, the size 12 from CP is too big for me.
I am 10 in reebok club c, 42.5 in converse and 41 for the common projects
No they def don’t run true to size. I’m a 12 in most shoes and a 44 (11) in CP ran a bit large for me. Definitely go a size down!
What’s the song your using
In Paris have it?
Can you make a review on artisan lab sneakers?
I just sent the Greats back, and got the NR Kurt. $59. Nobody will be able to tell the difference, and they are 1/7 the price of CP.
You deserve more views!
Thx bro!
Hey Trav, I see that you wear EU 45 Common Projects, what US size do you normally wear for your other shoes? Thanks very much
I think that translates to a US 12
I'd be shocked if CP leather is not corrected grain. Alden should do a common projects killer in horween chromexcel.
Crown Northampton does, and they also have a Shell Cordovan one too.
I've got the #NewRepublic Kurt. Love them. I could afford the#CommonProjects, but I'm not paying $400 for kicks. KOIO also has nice kicks similar in quality and price to the #Commons.
I think I'd go with the New Republic and just buy a new pair every year or so.
They're worth it. I have a newer version of that model. It doesn't have the suede lining anymore, but it's still comfortable. I paid around $100 for mine. I also have a pair of suede Common Projects. He's right; the Kurt is far more comfortable to wear.
I thought as a blogger, companies would provide you with all materials used in their products.. This way No Guessing...
You didn't mention anything about the fit.
that taft shoe has huge crease at the toe where common projects looks brand new. No brainer common projects is better quality imo
I wear size 12 US. Tafts recommendation is confusing. They don't have half sizes. My stan smiths are 11.5. 12 is huge on those. Do you recommend true to size or size down?
True to size fits me perfectly. I’m a 12
I have a pair for a few years now. Yes, it is worth it. Best quality, ages amazingly, comfortable, still look like fresh shoes. Worth the money, but indeed very expensive.
If I wear Common Projects size 40, which size of the New Republic should I get, US 7.5 or 8?
True to size!
Honestly the New Republic's looked less wrinkled than the Tafts. For the price those shoes are hard to beat. You should have modeled the shoes.
Also for 410.00 those CP they need to last at least 4 years lol.
I don't mind the slight wrinkling, to be honest. My Kurts are less than a year old and they've held up very well.
I have many many dress/luxury sneakers and I will agree get CPs if you're bent on getting it out of your system. So many great brands out now. I do not like the phrase "alternative to Common Projects"
That's because most guys can't afford Common Projects. These are just as good without that price point. I have both Kurt and Common Projects. I didn't, however, pay over $400 for mine. I got them at a thrift shop sale for less than $200.
How's sizing, does Taft run big compared to the others?
True to size for sure
You’re doing a comparison on shoes you have not worn for an equal amount of time. What the... never mind.
When will the new republics restock???
Teo Cortazar They said end of month early December
Eduardo Renteria thank you bro so by this week they should be out?
Hey mate, great video, common projects are great trainers but I also think that they are extrenely overrated specially considering the price point. I'd like to get you opinion on Hugo Boss' white tennis-style trainers. I don't know their price point in the US but I got mine at a very reasonable price here in the UK and they are very comfortable. I have never tried a pair of Taft and wonder how they would stack up. Cheers man and keep up the good work.
Thanks man! Never worn Hugo Boss. Would be interested in checking them out!
Sneakers here can go from regular to outlandish prices depending on where you purchase them.
They are like everything else if you like them and can afford them , without ignoring something significantly more important then get them if this will make you happy.
I personally dont see myself spending more than 50 to 65 $ for a pair of sharp looking sperry or Van's but I digress . Peace to you and GOD bless.
I'm size 8.5 should I get an 8 or 9?
I’d size down because it might stretch a little
Also Taft sneakers dont have margom soles like Common Projects. They use a Rubber Sole.
Porfirio Sosa what’s the difference
Christian Sanchez margom is a brand of rubber. its sorta become the go-to luxury sneaker sole. however, a different sole won't really matter that much, as long as it's as hard or harder, it'll last as long or longer.
We got to know trav's shoe size is 45😂
if only Taft would do women's sneakers in 4 or 4.5 sizes
Did you wear them barefoot or with socks?
With no show socks
Damn those CP rip offs even copied how they are laced up
They all look great. However the common project's look more white than the rest of them. I would by them just for that reason
Not gonna stay white for long. lol
Its a brand that is dickridden by fashion enthusiasts for its qUaLiTy. But since it has the same aesthetic as a pair of white vans, it doesn't make sense to pay hundreds of dollars for a plain white shoe, even if it has better leather.
Wait til you see sneaker culture.
Seriously though, now, everything depends on the brand. Simple as that. Just like how designer brands sell clothes for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
same quality different price i guess
6 vs 3 vs 2 months, stupid comparison
‘Would you rather pay for the brand name? Or would you go for the same quality at half the price…and honestly is more comfortable?’
That doesn’t sound like a question rooted with bias at all haha..what a muppet
Just get a pair of full grain leather vans.... or super low chucks
Also good options
People paying lots of money just for the brand
It's a combination of the brand and the materials.
Koio
NEW REPUBLIC save your money because these are so cheap you'll be pissed when the fall apart on you
It is incredible how we can be duped into spending so much of our hard earned dollars to purchase a pair of sneakers kn es that more than likely cost probably no more than 12 to 15 dollars to produce .
Guys these things are made for casual wear and definately not worth the price they ask us to pay .
I would not pay $$$ to get a "high" quality sneaker... that's an oxymoron. I will pay $$$ for a pair of good dress shoes though.
Every time I stop by Nordstrom and contemplating on picking up a pair of CP I mostly end up picking up something else. Everything that's always been talked about is how awesome the leather and how stream line CP is. Nothing is being said of how stiff the shoes are, how clown looking you will be if you don't have narrow feet and how you look all awkward walking unnaturally trying not to bend or flex the shoe because you might crease it. Just two weeks ago I ended picking up TBNY Colton in brandy at Nordstrom to add to my fall sneakers. The Colton's leather was buttery smooth and need no breaking in. I can walk like a normal person would on them on the get go.
Glad you found a comfortable & stylish shoe that works for you man!
@@TravWhiteStyle yes and with perfect widths too from Crown Northamptons
All fully leather shoes have a break in period. Also, why walk in such a way to avoid creases. One of the points of CP's is they still look great as they age. If you're so concerned about creases, get shoe trees.
Bla bla bla, common projects are unique dude
CP PR guy says what?
CP´s are the best. I've got a few pairs and they wear like butter.
If you can´t afford them it´s your problem. Save on them.
Alle other white sneakers are rip offs. Stick with the best.
And by the way the go on sale twice a year.
Nobody will pay retail on CP´s.
