The takedown of Common Projects sneakers by Rose Anvil on YouTube prompted me to explore other options of a similar style not built entirely on hype and marketing. When I spotted CQP here on Todd Snyder I did some research and was impressed by what I read. When they arrived, the rich smell of the leather told me that I made the right choice. Fast forward a few weeks and they’re breaking in beautifully. I want to go ahead and buy a few more pairs. No I have not been paid by CQP.
