Koio vs. Common Projects: Which Is Better? | Best White Leather Sneakers Menswear Review

About this video

Sacawa compares two minimal white leather sneakers: the Koio Capri Triple White ($248) and the Common Projects Original Achilles ($410). He details the construction, materials, and design of each shoe, highlights their similarities and differences, and offers his perspective on which represents better value depending on budget considerations.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa argues that both shoes share nearly identical silhouettes, comfort levels, and Italian construction, with only subtle stylistic differences in details like toe box shape, heel padding, and branding placement
• Sacawa recommends the Koio Capri Triple Whites for those prioritizing value, as they offer comparable premium quality at a significantly lower price point by selling direct-to-consumer rather than through luxury retailers
• Sacawa suggests the decision between the two ultimately depends on personal budget and whether the luxury brand name and status of Common Projects justifies the $160 price premium
