So love the Achilles Low. I saw they were getting popular so I bought multiples in multiple colors on sale because I knew I’d love them for a long time. When I got them I was able to pick them up for around 200 (still very pricy) and now I see them 400 and it makes me glad I got my back ups

Nice collection! as an owner of the white common projects, it's so hard to keep them clean!

i have all 3 of these sneakers lol. the Common Project Track are one of the most uncomfortable sneaker I've worn. It's hard to put any of these on tbh when I have the new balance 990v6 in terms of comfort. If you get shoe cleaner your soles will look nearly as new, especially on the CP lows, they clean so easily

I've got the Track 80's and the 990v3's. Indeed, the NB's are far superior when it comes to comfort (and value for money as well), but I can personally appreciate the firmness of the CP Track 80 soles, at least for daily wear and short walks. What makes the CP's uncomfortable to you? For me, sizing was an issue though, as I was right in between UK11 and 12. I chose the small one, but they're pretty snug at the forefoot (also because of the lifted heel) and therefore, indeed, not massively comfy.

For anyone living in Europe and looking for a more busget friendly alternative to the CP Achilles: I personally found the Garment Project Type One in genuine leather a great alternative at half the price. They're a bit wider and less slick, but they're the best minimalist white sneakers I've had. Made in Portugal and available from around 170 Euro's these days.

What t shirt are you wearing here? Want this colour, goes great with the black pants and white CP

Thanks for the recommendation for the Maison Margeila shoe! I was able to get my size from Farfetch with a promo code. I've been wearing common projects for years and it's time to switch it up. Btw do you think you will give New Balance sneakers another try? Perhaps go with the less chunkier 990v2 or even 327.

the margeilas are so delicate (maybe too delicate). the sole gets dirty so easily, make sure to clean them often

What pants are wearing with the CPs Achilles? :D

Are the track comfortable for long city walks? I guess now CP released a new version..

Don't know if you bought them in the meantime already, but as an owner I wouldn't personally take them on long walks, due to the very firm midsole and quite snug fit (though that may vary from person to person). Most New Balance Made in USA and UK are a far better alternative, as are sneakers with the renowned Vibram soles (available from many higher end brands).

How is the sizing on the Track 80? I wear a EU43 on the achilles low, should I go for the same?
