Great video Jeff. I started out wearing the GREATS, no pun intended than graduated to KOIO. It's true what you say about KOIO. They are so comfortable and durable, I am hooked on them.
Common Projects look good, but the price is way too high and the quality doesn't reflect that. Everyone considering buying a pair should look at Rose Anvil's video where he dismantles a pair and looks at the build and the materials used.
A great brand which is often over-looked is Mephisto, active since the 60's, all hand made in France and Portugal using the finest materials, leather lining and also 100% natural rubber sole, the Mephisto Cristiano in white is the model. Its a brand known for durability and comfort because they emphasize orthotics and the gait in all their shoes and they have their own air cushioning in the heel and anatomically shaped cork and leather foot-beds. I have a pair and they haven't disappointed me. You seriously get the same if not better craftsmanship and materials, with more than 60 years of no-how, plus a patented cushioning system, for a lower price than Common Projects.
I'm not going to lie mr. Jeff, I've become a huge fan of your show. It also helps that you are my pops have the same first name, and my father was a style fashionista! LOL
I got a pair of the Oliver cappel but haven’t worn them yet. They have Dope colors. I was suppose to wear them back in 2019 for Miami trip but hurricane messed up my travel plans. Then pandemic , but may rock them this week for Jamaica 🇯🇲
This background is better than the Red one brother. Red is kind of darker and overwhelming. Thanks for taking in my suggestion....Salute brother Jeff🙏🏾👏🏿👍🏿
Great video, but I only wear sneakers one time out of the year and that's when I go to Aruba otherwise I'm always wearing shoes, $400 for a sneaker I can buy at least two tires for my Pathfinder haha salute
Any of these have a nice firm sole? I prefer flat/zero drop shoes and insoles but alot of the time, they hide a big drop in the insole. Also, which has the widest toebox?
Thank you! I do own a pair of Common Projects and the one thing I don't like about them is the back heel is too low. I know that I don't have big heels but it feels like I'm wearing a mule...lol. So, I am excited to see that there are some alternatives and cheaper ones at that.
Thank you for your video Jeff, just wondering if I am 39 in Common Projects Achilles Low, should I opt for 39 in Oliver Cabell Low 1? Thank you in advance.
Another great video, Jeff. I love my Beckett Simonon Reid sneakers. A great choice. Had you considered the New Republic Kurt sneakers? I like those, too.
What’s up Style OG I wear a size 15 and I was looking online for all the exclusive sneaks you broadcast and they don’t carry any. Do you know of any other stores that might have a 15 in such stylish shoes?
In my opinion, the silhouette on the cps still the best on the minimalist low profile, is elegant and looks neat, if I had to chose, from all the other mimicking the cps, I think i would go with the ones made of Argentinian leather
Quite an interesting video,I have the Greats Royale in white and Navy.I would also recommend as low cost yet stylish alternatives the Adidas Stan Smith, Samba, and Vans Old Skool.
Upgrading my Wardrobe continues and I'm glad to have found this video that I was trying to find but found it accident watching something else. I do not yet own a pair of pure white dress sneakers. But based on your review i like 1, 2 and 4. They not gonna be something i wear often, but i'm working at adding 1-2 pairs in. Surely appreciate this video.
I'm feeling all of this premium white sneakers. Great look. The Becket ones are really nice. Thanks for sharing. I'm a female and I would rock some of them myself. 😉❤
Thanks for the advice and recommendations. I am not a big fan of sneakers, but I'll consider them for certain occasions (not that I don't wear them just not to often). It is always good to know where to pick up a good minimalist sneaker just in case. Keep putting out fantastic videos good Sir!
Thanks, do you have or plan to do a video on the best underwear? I have my tops picks, but would like to see what yours are. I think a lot of guys think it isn’t important but it is.
@@TheStyleOG You're welcome. One thing I forgot to mention that it was your last year's review that motivated me to purchase the shoes I mentioned. Thanks for the reviews again.
I use Jason Markk cleaner then I use kiwi white scuff cover on the soles. It keeps them from scuffing for a while and keeps them white...👍🏾 I use shoe polish for my black Royals and shoe cream for the white, tan and grey.
I've been eyeing some Greats Royale's myself, but those Beckett Simonon Reid's are 🔥🔥🔥. Might pull the trigger on those. How is the fit? Should I size up/down?
Dope content O.G, I was definitely wondering when you were going to do another minimalist review...I seen a few already, but always good to get perspective from someone I’m more on brand with✊🏾...so what’s the crease factor on the Koio sneakers
I seen a video u did on the new republic shoes and I have since purchased 3 pair of them and really love them, I noticed u didn't say anything about them. But I think they should have been mentioned and in the top 5, but hey that's my opinion right,and they are alot cheaper than these u mentioned in this video.
Family, I'm not gonna lie, I found your RUclips channel yesterday and already watched 40 or so videos. Love everything that you are doing. I'm definitely taking all of the styles that you have recommended. I'll forever be appreciative for this. I do have one request....In the future if possible, could you do a video on what really muscular men should and should not wear. I play college football and all of the squats and deadlifts have limited some of my fashion options over the years. It would be really cool if you could help out the buff boys so we won't have to resort to wearing nike sweat suits all the time. All love boss man.
I was just watching another channel where the guy cuts shoes up and talks about them. He trashed common projects. I been looking to replace my old Chucks so I'm glad I watched these videos
Excellent review 👏,honestly I've never liked Common Projects,my favorite brands which i also own is To Boot New York,Canali and Tod's,they are rather expensive but they will last you for years to come,moreover i find them durable and very stylish
Awesome review. I have a couple pairs of Cole Haan minimalist sneakers and they are pretty comfortable. They go by the name of Cole Haan Grand, check them out and let me know what you think.
Great looking shoes Jeff! Thank you for giving us other options. Common Projects look great but that's a lot of coin for sneakers. I would pay that for dress shoes but like the more reasonable options for sneakers especially when you know the good looking white will get dirty.
Great video Jeff. I started out wearing the GREATS, no pun intended than graduated to KOIO. It's true what you say about KOIO. They are so comfortable and durable, I am hooked on them.
Hooked !
I was wondering about the crease factor on the Koio’s, but I have seen enough to know people love them!!
I have 3 pair of oliver cabell (different colors) and waiting on new colors to drop so I can get more. I love em'!
Nice !
Have you checked Thursday Sneakers? They have a really good option as well. At a $139 I think it’s a great offer
Thursday Boots sneakers are my favorite. Clean and great quality
I was finally able to get a pair of their low top cacao’s . I was on the waitlist forever but it was worth the wait.
I just ordered a pair of Captains, I hear great things! I haven’t tried the kicks yet but I will soon
Suit supply are good to and arigatso are awesome when you buy them on sale. I paid 240aud for mine reduced from 380aud.
Thursday boots sneakers are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don't like the metal lace holes on the Thursday boots, that was a deal-breaker
Learn something new every day with the Style OG! Salute👋🏽
Salute!
Common Projects look good, but the price is way too high and the quality doesn't reflect that. Everyone considering buying a pair should look at Rose Anvil's video where he dismantles a pair and looks at the build and the materials used.
Those Rose Anvil videos are strangely compelling
Stan Smith Adidas will never go out of style! A great choice for all my OG’s out there, especially for the price.
Nice list as always. My go to are the Kurts by New Republic.
I guess i am Johnny come lately to this video. I am looking at the Becketts, do they run small?
Great vid, you have helped me step my outfit and shoe game up, much appreciated keep doing what doing! much needed for men!
Whew thanks for this one. I couldn’t see myself paying $400 for sneakers, this is a wonderful alternative I can deal with.
Was worried when I didn’t see an upload. Now for today’s lesson. ✊🏾✊🏾😂
Salute!
A great brand which is often over-looked is Mephisto, active since the 60's, all hand made in France and Portugal using the finest materials, leather lining and also 100% natural rubber sole, the Mephisto Cristiano in white is the model.

Thanks for bringing Mephisto to my attention. I found a couple of shoes I am now deciding between!
GREATS are GREAT!! Got four pair..... Stylish, comfortable and durable. They all look as good as new. I’ve had them over a year with regular wear.
Appreciate the input!
What do you think about the Thursday white sneakers?
Any suggestions for a 4E width foot that doesn't take 12 weeks to get or cost over $300?
What pants are those green pants?
White sneakers , green pants, what color belt ? White ?
Before I started watching your channel I owned one pair of shoes. Now I own six pairs! I actually think about what looks good with different clothes!
Which ones have the widest toe box?
What is the delivery time on the Reid Sneakers ?
I swear by Idrese, just ordered my 4th and definitely not last pair.
The quality is outstanding and comfort is supreme.
NIce!
great video OG, didn’t know about most of these brands. keep up the good work my man
Will do Nicolas !
So I never see the Cole Haan Jensen in these minimal sneaker vids… are that that bad?
I'm not going to lie mr. Jeff, I've become a huge fan of your show. It also helps that you are my pops have the same first name, and my father was a style fashionista! LOL
Tell Pops I said hello !
Fire 🔥 content as usual, preciate ya OG ✊🏿
Salute June !
I got a pair of the Oliver cappel but haven’t worn them yet. They have Dope colors. I was suppose to wear them back in 2019 for Miami trip but hurricane messed up my travel plans. Then pandemic , but may rock them this week for Jamaica 🇯🇲
OG you know I love the Greats, I get a ton of compliments!! And I always say The Style OG is the channel to level up your wardrobe!!
This background is better than the Red one brother. Red is kind of darker and overwhelming. Thanks for taking in my suggestion....Salute brother Jeff🙏🏾👏🏿👍🏿
Great video, but I only wear sneakers one time out of the year and that's when I go to Aruba otherwise I'm always wearing shoes, $400 for a sneaker I can buy at least two tires for my Pathfinder haha salute
Thanks Tony !
I have common projects and have to agree with Oliver Cabell.. their GATs are great also.
True !
Any of these have a nice firm sole? I prefer flat/zero drop shoes and insoles but alot of the time, they hide a big drop in the insole. Also, which has the widest toebox?

I am checking out the Reid Sneakers from Beckett Simonon
Thank you for your video Jeff, just wondering if I am 39 in Common Projects Achilles Low, should I opt for 39 in Oliver Cabell Low 1? Thank you in advance.
Love these shoes. Just looks crazy on me cause I wear a size 14. Thats when I can find them in my size. Lol
Lmao same here brother
😄 same here
Another great video, Jeff. I love my Beckett Simonon Reid sneakers. A great choice. Had you considered the New Republic Kurt sneakers? I like those, too.
Thanks Scott !
What about the GoodMan Brand?
Anyone have any opinions on the New Republic Brand?
Great video OG. I would love a tip on what color belt to wear with white sneakers no one has done that video before that i know of.
i just recently bought the edge sneaker from GoodMan brand at Nordstrom...and i am so happy i choose this over CPs!
I’m here looking like where can I get pants like that? Nice!
What’s up Style OG I wear a size 15 and I was looking online for all the exclusive sneaks you broadcast and they don’t carry any. Do you know of any other stores that might have a 15 in such stylish shoes?
This was an excellent breakdown. Have you ever tried M.Gemi sneakers? If so how do they rate?
What about the New Republic Kurt for $95??
In my opinion, the silhouette on the cps still the best on the minimalist low profile, is elegant and looks neat, if I had to chose, from all the other mimicking the cps, I think i would go with the ones made of Argentinian leather
Appreciate the input!
Thanks. Awesome channel, great info

What type of sneakers would you recommend for working out?
This is dressing economics at it's best! Great job Jeff.
Thanks Temi !
What about your thoughts on the Good Man Brand?
O.G ,Salute ,we need an update on low-profile shoes for this summer ...✌🏾
I rock with the KOIOs, but i am definitely going to check out the Reid S.
Salute Elton !
Reid’s are becoming my favorite alternative. I also have a couple of pairs of projects.
Smooth and crispy white casual shoes 👟 you can’t go wrong with any brand. Great video and salute
Salute Clifton!
Buying me and my son 2 pair of these shoes mentioned... This is my sneaker style..
Great video. I just discovered stifnos white sneakers by fly London.
I'm feeling all of this premium white sneakers. Great look. The Becket ones are really nice. Thanks for sharing. I'm a female and I would rock some of them myself. 😉❤
Salute Sis !
Excellent, thx Jeff! Have you tried or done a video on allbirds?
I have not..
Thanks for the advice and recommendations. I am not a big fan of sneakers, but I'll consider them for certain occasions (not that I don't wear them just not to often). It is always good to know where to pick up a good minimalist sneaker just in case. Keep putting out fantastic videos good Sir!
Salute Shawn !
Thanks, do you have or plan to do a video on the best underwear? I have my tops picks, but would like to see what yours are. I think a lot of guys think it isn’t important but it is.
Great Picks My man Loved the Idrese Nuno
I'm in the process adding a few of these to my collection. Salute
You can purchase the same type of sneakers and cheaper like Polo/Calvin Klein. The leather is just as nice or premium Quality.
😑not really..the leather at least
Great review. The only one that I don't own are the Idrese sneakers.
Thanks Lonnell !
@@TheStyleOG You're welcome.
One thing I forgot to mention that it was your last year's review that motivated me to purchase the shoes I mentioned. Thanks for the reviews again.
Love the content bro thanks👊🏾 Has help me a lot.
Salute Rod!
How do you keep your sneakers so clean? I have the Nunos and I always seem to find some dirt mark on them
I clean them after every couple of wears.
I use Mister clean magic eraser, then a little leather conditioner
I use Jason Markk cleaner then I use kiwi white scuff cover on the soles. It keeps them from scuffing for a while and keeps them white...👍🏾 I use shoe polish for my black Royals and shoe cream for the white, tan and grey.
I've been eyeing some Greats Royale's myself, but those Beckett Simonon Reid's are 🔥🔥🔥. Might pull the trigger on those. How is the fit? Should I size up/down?
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Blessings Michael !
Blessings to you too
what kind of socks would you wear with these sneakers?
no show
Dope content O.G, I was definitely wondering when you were going to do another minimalist review...I seen a few already, but always good to get perspective from someone I’m more on brand with✊🏾...so what’s the crease factor on the Koio sneakers

Was common projects for me also but agree OG Koio has taken over at $250 and think the leather is actually better
Appreciate the information brother.
God Bless
Blessings!
Another great video. No pun intended. I've been rocking with the greats so long, i have the margom soles on mine but koio is my favorite.
Thanks James !
oliver cabell 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Great choice!
I was just watching another channel where the guy cuts shoes up and talks about them. He trashed common projects. I been looking to replace my old Chucks so I'm glad I watched these videos
Greats are just as good as CPs, if not better, for half the price! Great video!
Appreciate the input Tim !
Stay up on Style OG salute
Koio Capri are awesome, if not better than common projects.
This would be more appropriate in late spring and summer
Then come back then..
@@TheStyleOG agreed! He’s giving you options now so you can come back to watch when it’s time. And, to get more views if you know what I mean lol.
Unfortunately I can't get any of those down here in Uganda, my Country but those are supercool my G. Shipping and all makes them extremely Pricey too
Great topic!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks David!
Excellent review 👏,honestly I've never liked Common Projects,my favorite brands which i also own is To Boot New York,Canali and Tod's,they are rather expensive but they will last you for years to come,moreover i find them durable and very stylish
An excellent high end sneaker is Crown Hampton.
I recently bought some Good man brands. I like them alot
Crisp, White Sneakers for Grown Men.👏👏👏
Indeed !
Thank you as always OG🙏🏾✊🏾
Great video! Love me some all white leather shoes.
Thanks!
Great trainers however they won't last as long as the ones in the video
What's up my bro Og, love these kicks good looking out my G. Salute my friend.
Salute Glenn !
Awesome review. I have a couple pairs of Cole Haan minimalist sneakers and they are pretty comfortable. They go by the name of Cole Haan Grand, check them out and let me know what you think.
Will definitely check them out Morris !
The Crown Northampton made in Northampton, England. Great leather minimalist sneaker. Cost lest than the Common Projects.
Appreciate the recommendation!
They're also way higher quality
Never had commons but I figure Koio's are the same 👟!
Great looking shoes Jeff! Thank you for giving us other options. Common Projects look great but that's a lot of coin for sneakers. I would pay that for dress shoes but like the more reasonable options for sneakers especially when you know the good looking white will get dirty.
Salute Shawn !
Great video
Thanks!
bailed on Greats since they were sold
Dapper & Elegant Man, Hello Sir🙋🏾♀️
Thursday has thrown their name in the sneaker hat.
I’ll have call to check them out!
