alright so I know CP's are meme blah blah but w/e
Whenever I see a sale on a website (ssense or mr porter for example) and CP's are included in the sale, it seems like every colour way is on sale except for full white and full black achilles. Do these colour ways ever actually go on sale or because they are a "staple" item or whatever will they always remain at full retail price?
i got a pair for 20% off from Tres Bien just for being outside of the EU
besides a VAT reduction you'll have to wait for a discount code for the corner or something
>>10623716
Yea I've actually been looking at that but the 20% off still doesn't get me far enough down to beat customs / duty fees
>>10623743
its the price of their popularity, along with a decline in their quality. for the price you can get a much nicer shoe at 50-70% off or a steal on grailed.
this is now a CP alternative thread
what do you guys think of these?
>>10623757
they look nothing like CPs
Has anyone here bought from Axel Arigato before? How is the quality and fit of them
>>10623746
Has there really been a decline in quality tho? And I know a lot of it is just paying for a brand name but I know if I buy an alternative I'll never be truly happy with them
>>10623743
all my purchases from tres bien has had the customs value reduced to avoid customs/duty fees, so i wouldn't worry too much.
>>10623757
>this is now a CP alternative thread
fuck off
>>10623710
>tfw my friend can get me 40% off cps from their work.
Considering just buying them and selling them online for profit desu senpaitachi
>>10623757
No it's not
>>10623710
I got black lows on sale for £150.
>>10624500
they were literally just on sale from tres bien.
20% off + 20% for outside EU
>>10624516
>>10623710
my bad
>>10623746
there hasn't been a decline in the quality.
>>10623777
>Has there really been a decline in quality tho
no.
and at least you're not in denial about settling for an alternative. either save up and cop for retail or buy from grail
>>10623710
Tres bien also marks down the value of their shipments for customs, or at least did for me. I bought a pair in 2013 with -20% non-eu discount, %15 promo code and no customs charge = like US$270 straight up
>>10624266
bro can u just sell me a pair for cost :)
>>10624516
Whenever Tres Bien drops a sale though, I fucking check and all the CPs are sold out by the time I get to it.
>>10625847
Best I can do is 280 us plus cost of shipping
>>10623710
I bought my black CPs from End two years ago on black friday. After the duty fee, it came to $310. So basically 25% off retail.
Just bought a pair of teal cps on ebay, hope they aren't fake.
>>10626423
They don't make fake teal ones afaik.
Post a picture anyway.
>>10626429
The auction ended and now all I can look at are shitty thumbnails. Should have saved the pics.
>>10626429
>>10626436
Found a way, one of the shoes got sun bleached. Should I post more pics.
>>10626472
