Probably a less popular opinion, but since leather sneakers last a long time, upon searching, initially I stumbled upon Common Projects, since I personally love quality, minimalistic clothing. I realized quite quickly that the price is too steep and started searching for similar options. Stumbled upon a youtuber Rose Anvil who cuts open shoes. In one video he compared Common Projects to Oliver Cabell - virtually the same materials. I have been using them for almost 3 years now daily, besides winter. Love them and clean them, hope they have a few good years left in them, certainly ordering another pair soon.

Thursdays sneakers are very similar too but a bit cheaper overall. I don't think they have an all white version though. The ones I bought had a defective hide and they tore but I send some photos to Thursday and they just sent me another pair without anything else needed from me. I never got such great customer service before...

I'm keeping the torn ones, maybe one day I'll take them to a cobbler if he can do anything but there aren't many around. The good pair is worn every week once or twice.
