Looks like Common Project.
Expect to pay a good amount of dough for those.

Doesn't look like Common projects to me, it looks bulkier or more padded than CP.

If you look closely you can sort of see some
writing on the outer heel of the left shoe.

Finally picked up a pair of monk strap suedes along with a few other items.

pics n price or link

$200 A Testoni

I was originally looking at a pair of Cole Haans, these are much cleaner.

Just realized sizing was in UK

had to order a size up, and paid an extra $10 for shipping on the 2nd pair.  Don't get why they couldn't simply modify the order.

Sorry my eyes aren't that good. 

SIlhouette just doesn't look like CPs.

Style: CP's has a very simple, clean and versatile design. They are also low profile, less bulky than Vans.
Quality: CP's are made in Italy that uses good quality leather (some w/ extra treatment like washed or distressed-vintage).
Craftmanship: CP's sole are actually stitched to the uppers iirc whil Vans are glued and made in China. Overall, they're very well made.
Look: CP's just look better.

i wonder how many people will go to that apple store thing.  it is in soho, so i'm guessing the fashionable people will know about it.

Need some recommendations from you guys, I have a job interview with T Rowe Price Friday and my suit won't be finished getting tailored in time so what would you guys recommend me wearing?

props nonetheless. I can't hate.
I do wonder where all this stuff leads though. In all...they don't produce anything. They don't design clothes nor do they sell any other thing. They're just tastemakers. Thats fine and dandy, but what does it all really mean?

Generaiya thinks a pair of all white Common Project Achilles Low will be the only pair of white sneakers one will ever need in their wardrobe. Dress it up, dress it down. Incredibly versatile sneaker

can't speak for them, but with the publicity they have/are having, i'd be looking to roll out my own brand and riding the free (?) marketting. they seem like savvy guys though, so i'm sure they have a plan.

I think what it boils down to is that they are doing what the love. These guys have been in fashion shows, modeled for a few places and have been getting exposure. I'm sure there are some benefits and free stuff that comes with that and it is something they love to do. And like Nii said, they can start a clothing company right now and it'll be a hit. The road has been paved, now they just have to walk in it.
And Nii, nice as usual. What material is the suit? It doesn't look like the usual wool from the first pic.

^ Not really a fan of pants that aren't grey, dark brown or khaki but I like those. They look very nice with the blazer. 

 

[eiddyfouw]

@RFX, something about those pants.

I don't know if maybe a pair of chinos or maybe a good pair of denim would have fixed the issue. Those pants look off in the fit. Or maybe just not matching the shoes and the jacket..maybe a pair of white low key sneakers.

To be fair I was wearing thermal underneath, bloody cold in SoCal this past weekend.

Any info on this specific color? I found the "khaki" and black color, but not this cinnamon.

Generaiya appreciates the heads up. Forgot to check today.

These make for great springtime beaters:

Generaiya may also get this blazer, $135 is a steal:
