For the final entry of the White Sneaker Series I am cutting up one of the most requested and beloved minimalist white sneaker, the Overstone Derby by Crown Northampton. This shoe is about as clean and minimalist as a shoe can get and still be comfortable and functional. So they sent me a pair to cut in half and see what's inside!

Toaster knows how to steal the center of attention! Can’t wait for moctoe-ber. Could this mean duty boot December 👀
Toaster rules! It's obvious how much he loves his human.
I'm from Northampton!
Fun fact: our football (soccer) team is nicknamed 'The Cobblers', which are shoemakers.
We have access to the factory outlet shops!
Any examples? My university is close I might visit
@@4M4D3USM0Z4RT Church's and Trickers are my highlights
@@andi9512 Lucky bastard
@@xandr13 Nobody has ever called anyone living in Northampton lucky lol.
Trickers outlet is available online.
I'm not a sneaker guy but they are well made and to order. If you know something about shoes, Northampton is the home of hand-built shoes, which are designed to be resoled.
@Kevin E Yes, and all my footwear, apart from my trail shoes, is made in Northampton.
@Kevin E Both the options you suggest are very good. Go with what you prefer and suits your wardrobe. Shell cordovan is maintained in a slightly different way to full grain leather. If you want to lighten the tone of cordovan naturally, leave the shoes in the sun for a day.
All sneakers are hand-built shoes! Haven't you heard of - Sweat Shops!
The same processes that go on in China and India to mass produce sneakers, are much the same as the processes in Northampton!
@@utubecomment21 it's not
wow. these are the first ones that I think look nice enough to buy. especially when you put them next to the common projects, that craftsmanship SHINES.
These seems really nicely made for sneakers. For 311$ they certainly offer better value for money than the Common Projects.
My favorite white sneakers are the good man brand edge lo-top. You can find them on sale for 100 on occasion, but generally are 200. I have two pairs. I did modified them to remove the branding as I do not like branding on shoes, but for 100 (What I paid), made in Italy and with Morgom sole and built like the CP.
Had them for a year. Break in takes longer than you may think, but once you do oh my god are they comfortable
It’s bullshit and people are just filled with sunk cost fallacy
The shoe has 0 thought towards ergonomics or comfort. The company has 0 thought towards customer service.
Its like “quality material” is their only positive ‘selling point’ turns out, there are low skill and low talent workers one every country. Even Northampton, England.
You’re better off just buying some CPs and not having to deal with this piece of shit company.
just ordered a pair. I did not consider myself a footwear enthousiast but your videos and the way you present and share information is truly inspirational. Thanks alot for your time and work.
Finally!!! I didn’t think this day would come. Thank you Weston!
I love my white derbies. They're so minimalist looking it's unbelievable. They might not have a leather insole but the fibre board is still very strong after 1 year of use. They provide an extra foam insert that you can stick on top of the insole for added comfort and durability.
And an extra pair of laces and a key fob!
the cleanest of clean. these are maybe my favorites? so hard to say, there are so many good ones. I like how these feel familiar, but elevated.
FINALLYYYYYYYY - waited for this brand so much!!!!!!!!
I'm tempted by their black with white toe cap, just pure class!
They're just perfect
I've been waiting for this becuase Crown Northhampton has been on my list of white sneakers to buy
This might be my ideal white sneaker aesthetic.
Bought these... Man they are great. Looking forward to many miles. Great video, thanks.
I’m so glad you got to include these in the series. One thing you didn’t mention is that Crown offer a resolving service, which I suspect is not available for many of the comparable shoes in this series apart from the Goral. My only disappointment is that they don’t have a leather insole like the Goral, but on the other hand, they’re much cheaper than Goral. I think if I were in the market for sneakers, I’d opt for these, perhaps in the wholecut style with Hoween leather as opposed to white.
I look forward to the next Moc Toe series with interest.
Not so much price difference if you use the discount code for the Goral. 👍
Maybe you can just ask for one? He said they are made to order and customized
Rose Anvil the great dissector of white sneakers.
They are also available in wide fitting too. You just have to say in the comments box when you're ordering. I have some Common Projects which I'm happy with. However if I had known about these earlier I would have bought these instead.
I bought these and let Crown know I bought because of your videos they need to really be paying you handsomely!
i've had my white whole-cut for about a year. i think they are extraordinary. comfort and feel right out of the box. also made to order, they can make you a Wide Width (G UK )
These look great for the price, wow! I like their classic white.
My favourite one so far.
nice work! love your hard work and insight
I bought a pair a few years ago and they are awesome. I’m a customer for life.
Having watched all the white sneaker video on this channel. This one sticks out immediately on first sight. I dont know how, why, or what. May be it is love or art type of thing. But there is something about this shoes, even just from the video alone, felt very good. I guess Steve Jobs put it best,
"Somehow, in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something is transmitted there."
Thanks You for bringing Crown Northampton to my radar.
this looks this the best pair of white sneakers i have ever seen
Great video. I have several pairs of their sneakers. By far my favorites. I also have a couple pairs of their horween hi-tops. I have had some of these for over a year and I wear them all the time. I find that they are so well made, they look as good now as when I got them. I just make sure to clean and condition the leather periodically.
One other thing I like about them is that if you are looking for a style/color combo you don't see on their website, they will make it for you if you ask them. They have done this for me. They are one of the most responsive companies I've ever ordered from.
Highlight - "if you are looking for a style/color combo you don't see on their website, they will make it for you if you ask them"
Love your channel and this series! One of the best youtubers out there in my opinion.
I would love to see you do a teardown of a New Balance sneaker. One of either the Made in USA or England versions. They are advertised as using "premium materials" and it would be cool to see what you think. Also interesting would be a Danner boot teardown. I have a pair of gore-tex Mountain Light's that have held up pretty well for 5 years or so.
Keep up the good work!
Great video! Love to see more about high quality dress sneakers, I think FEIT also has great leather sneakers, would love to see more comparison videos like this
I’m looking forward to the boot cuts again. I don’t wear plain white sneakers so I haven’t watched you in quite some time, including this one.
Can't wait for moctober really looking forward to the upcoming vids keep it up
Really good looking pair of sneakers
I’ve had these shoes myself for nearly 2 years. Great shoes with great customer service too.
How is the sizing? First time i see them and they look great
How’s the sizing for them compared to other brands? Are they true to size or did you size down?
The shoe killed him
Thank you so much !
I bought 2 sneakers from Crown Northampton after seeing your videos.
How do you like them?
After this video I got a brown cxl pair 3 years ago and they're holding up amazingly. I normally don't use shoe horns and shoe trees, but I suggest using them for a shoe this nice.
I’m so gonna get these
Love mock toe boots! Can't wait! Hoping you do some Die Hards from Sears
First one in the comments!!!!!! I love this show. Keep going bro you really teach me alot about quality and engineering of the shoe. Which is awesome
just bought these, can’t wait for them to arrive
How do you like them? Leaning towards getting a pair.
Thats the best sneaks iv seen and the cats chillin
I love Toaster!
I’m not a sneaker guy by any means, but this clean and simple handcrafted leather shoe really tics some boxes. When I saw the episode about the common projects I thought that’s crazy money for a pair of white sneakers. Buy now it gets me thinking.
How do they look with regular wear? Will they develop an interesting patina? Or does one usually clean those shoes excessively?
I'd assume given the whole obsession on a perfect clean minimalist shoe the people who buy em clean them obsessively
@@gcc989 nah a lot of common projects wearers love the way they wear
I personally like the look of dirty/worn white sneakers
I have never liked sneakers. Not wearing them and not how they look. My feet have just destroyed every sneaker I've tried. Especially white ones. But this series has been informative. These Crown Northhamptons look thoughtfully designed and the best made so far. I can believe I'm saying this but I really like how the leather looks from the lasting etc.
Awesome - been waiting for this episode and spamming Crown since the first CP video!
Really nice looking shoe
*I think you should just design the perfect shoe at this point*
👌
They did that at Styleforum.
He is already...
Still very early stage.
I would support a crowd funding project on that.
You think he knows more than these shoe makers??
Great video, can’t wait for the moc toe red wing. Could you please do some lucchese cowboy boots. Their Carson boot is on the lower price range and made in the USA
Hope you review some Bespoke shoes in the future. This is awesome video and great shoes breakdown man! God bless!
These are the best looking pair to date. Great shape and as minimal as possible.
I have the Crown Northampton Overstone Hi Derby in Horween Natural Chromexcel. Best shoes I’ve ever worn! Fantastic customer service and the quality is perfect. Takes some time to wear them in though, but you can send them back to be resoled-just that was a big selling point for me.
How’s the sizing compared other brands? True to size or did you size down?
@@aurthordunne The size was true, and I asked them for a wider last. Fit perfectly.
How are they a year later, I'm thinking of buying a pair of the Overstone hi derby shoes because I want a pair that will last. Also I live about a mile from the village of Overstone and used to play for their cricket team.
@@tehcolemanator4179 Still my favorite pair of sneakers ever, worn in, looking good and i will send them in for resoling this winter. I recommend them.
One shoe I've been really interested in is RM Williams' Surry sneaker, but there's literally no reviews I've seen on RUclips. Would be really keen to see that before the end of the series. Maybe one day
Im so glad you looked at northampton companies, they have a huge history in England. Its a shame its the last episode as theyre some other companies brining out more contemporary sneakers. Maybe you could include some northampton companies in your mocks episodes.
these are FIRE. i have their chukkas and couldnt be happier
How’s the sizing for them compared to other brands? Are they true to size or did you size down?
@@aurthordunne if you wear Clark’s then it’s the same fit. It’s all true size wear
I would love to see you disect some Thursday boots! Especially the Presidential, The Captain or The Duke models! I am hearing a lot about them for price vs what you get and I would Like to see what they are made of!
Hello, I have flat and wide feet. What are some of the sneakers/brands you would recommend. Thx
Great videos. Keep it up. Thx
these shoes are so nice
Great cap-off to the white sneaker series. Most informative reviews on the platform
I have had these for a couple of years now and they are by far the best Sneakers I ever had - so I just ordered some new ones 😊
Clean and neat
I like em...still wearing and loving my common projects that i bought for 225
If you get a chance check out the Balenciaga Arena sneakers. They were Balenciaga’s staple sneaker before discontinuing them for the Triple S and Speedtrainer models.
I want this!
Please do Thursdays Moc Toe, I like how they are slimmer than most Moc toes and yes I know they’re mostly fashion oriented but I’d still be interested to learn more about them.
Wonder if they are still doing the cleaning kits.....
Maybe some CAT Caterpillar boots (2nd shift, Colorado etc) in some time? I've heard some split opinions on them about comfort and quality. Btw, you doing amazing work Weston, I think people needed a channel like yours but they didnt knew yet! Thank you for all the content you've made.
Hi There!
I notice you didn't comment extensively on the quality of the upper leather as you did with the common projects. Could you give somemore information here?
We want to see your collection of shoes and boots ! ^^
That is a really good price!
Ok ok I’ll subscribe!
If you’re not averse to doing sneakers that are _mostly_ white, maybe you could teardown and compare the Onitsuka Corsair vs. the Nike Cortez? Other ideas:
- Adidas Samba vs Gazelle vs Superstar vs Campus (vs. Stan Smith, which you’ve already done)
- Adidas Gazelle vs. Puma Suede
- various and sundry New Balance (just how much cushioning _do_ they have packed in there?)
- boat shoe showdown (Sperry regular and Gold Cup lines vs Sebago vs Quoddy)
The lack of topstitching makes it look alien.
Yo, I dig the videos. Can we get a Viberg video? Also, I know you don’t have the classes on in this video, but who made your frames?
1-are the leather of the upper and the leather of the lining glued together with glue ?
2-is there a strengthening of the upper skin with a synthetic cloth ?
Tell us a bit more about the leather, perhaps? I was waiting for that and it never came..... :-P
What to say? its full grain calf leather which he already said is going to be abit hard to break in..
If you want i can talk about the leather : its very white but not white white , but still not grey and the feel is soft but not soft pillow , just soft soft.
@@abcthecamper1799 That bit I caught, I meant I was hoping for a slice through of the leather to show whether it is comparable or better than the other shoes in the same style and range. The bit you mention, I caught.
It's strange - there's quite a bit of bluing in these which is something he normally points out as a negative, but completely skipped on these.
@@bethmcmullan9872 I believe it simply means it is highly likely to be a chrome tanned leather just like they all seem to be for the uppers. He talks about this in detail in another video but basically a vegetable tanned leather is more expensive because it is more time consuming to make. I don't remember the other details he mentioned that differentiate the 2 types. That said, it doesn't mean the chrome tanned leather is inferior for the uppers, just different and definitely a lesser costing leather. I often hear the inner lining is a veg tan leather in many of these high end sneakers.
This is just this guy saying that, not my knowledge. I'm definitely no expert on this topic.
@@helloken thanks, but I work with leather so I do understand the difference between the two types of tanning. My point was that normally he goes on about chrome tan being of lesser quality and he moans quite a bit about bluing, but in this case he didn't. I just found it strange.
The one piece leather ones are the win
Pls do vanuary with vans pros, as an employeee I’ve skated every pro on the wall and I can in depth review them I just needa see them cut open !!! Ave pro, berle pro, vans classic tumble for ur white shoes
Toaster was starring into my soul at 4:23
LOL
Please Make a video about Buttero tanino sneakers !
Can you videos on other products like wallets, bags too?
Can you do a video on puma suede , rome and others ?
Any idea if you’ll get to the Thursday Boot Co white sneaker?
These definitely are going to be more comfortable. Look at the toe wiggle room and the plusher looking lining at 5:43 !!!
Indeed.
Can you do the Veja v-10 or the Esplar next?
I wish you had reviewed the Good Man Brand white sneakers, but since they are made in Italy, using Morgom soles, I am not sure how different they are to CP or other Italian made sneakers. They are 200 and on occasion can go for 100.
Hi! Could you please share your thoughts on GoodMan Brand Legend white sneakers? Made in Italy and seems like good value for quality.
When you make your shoe can you use those ZIG-ZAG rubber soles that are often seen on referees and coaches shoes? Also, it would be nice to have a taller heel similar to the Nike Air Force Ones. 👞
Can we get a review on the ORIGIN USA boot review?
What are the pro’s and con’s from the Crown Northampton made from one piece compared to the other models? The reason I ask is that I do like how the look but I got a feeling that some of the leather in the front might start to look a bit weird as the shoe gets older - like the skin will look baggy if that makes sence
Would you be able to do the RM williams' Surry Sneaker?
Please do Meermins moc toe boot!
Obenaufs oil for shoe care will work??
do what’s inside the maison margiela replica sneaker and the yeezy 700
Do a pair of the LL Bean duck boots
can you check out teh A.S.98 series of boots. ive been interested in gettign a pair. also common project chelsea boots
YASSSS!!!
Can you add the Golden Goose to the white shoe series?
Thank you! I'm pretty sure commented on every video of the series suggesting this brand. I was hoping you'd go more into detail about the leather quality, thickness and elaborate on how they are re-solable.
which one of allll these minimalist sneakers is the lightest and with most pliable/flexible sole? Im asking cuz I have knee problems
Thanks for all these videos, I've been looking at them with interest to replace my 10 year old+ cheap Nike trainers (sneakers) and Clark's shoes with something premium, obviously I don't change often! I'm looking at Goral or Crown being from the UK. My only disappointment in all these online reviews/breakdowns is that there's so little mention of comfort, surely a massive part of a shoe?! My other shoes were chosen because they were immediately comfortable which I find quite rare - I'm not sure how these premium options compare really but will be disappointed spending £250+ and finding they don't actually feel that nice!
i don't know if it a bit to late, but most of these premium sneakers are quite comfortable. But they get better and better the more you wear them in, it will shape itself like a glove for your foot. These here in the video i didn't personally try yet, but they are the next ones if i need a new pair of white leather sneakers.
@@Tospec03 Thanks Aziz! I tried Goral and they seemed great quality (better than Crown for the price I think) but fit was too tight for my wide feet... Ordered Crown and first pair wrong colour sole (I changed order via email but it wasn't done when shoe made) - they had them back and changed quickly but remade pair were not great, fit all wrong and uneven, now waiting on a new pair, hopefully perfect! The uneven pair were pretty comfortable despite being stiff, once broke in should be great.
@@The_Jimrod Could you elaborate on how your shoe is uneven? Thanks in advance.
You should do barker and loake
