Updated Comparison: Common Projects Alternatives

Last year I reviewed a lot of white leather sneakers at different price points, to see what you get for your money when purchasing this men’s fashion staple. After every review many readers would ask how they compare to Common Projects and the answer is usually that they don’t compare. But every shoe has its place and here I look at the visual differences between Common Projects and the alternatives.

Oh just quickly, here’s my current leather white sneaker rankings by category (excluding CPs).

Best bang for buck rankings: Svensson Classic Low, Oliver Cabell Low 1, Beckett Simonon Reid, Clae Bradley, Adidas Stan Smith,

Best budget rankings: Clae Bradley, Adidas Stan Smith, Beckett Simonon Reid, Oliver Cabell Low 1, Svensson Classic Low

Note: I haven’t had a chance to review Koio, Greats or Artisan Labs, because the combination of the exchange rate and shipping to Australia means it’s actually cheaper to buy Common Projects.
