Honestly idk how you can say it’s not worth the retail when common projects are 2x as much. This shoe is built to LAST. And they are actually really comfortable IMO I love the rigid bottom. Also the customer service was awesome j needed new laces to match the triple colour of my shoe and they always send brand new ones free of charge in a few days , best leather sneaker in this style by far for the cost
You are totally right. Also common projects uses really cheap leather and there is nothing in these shoes that justifies the price. I think the Arigatos are great for what they cost. Also he says that a hard break in is a quality issue, whats complete bs, it's the opposite 😂
Thanks a lot for this video. Been sneaker hunting and saw this brand and love the Black Dice Hi Sneaker. Too expensive for me right now but will keep them bookmarked just in case.
Yo thank you for this honest review. Also really touched my heart to hear "Jesus loves you more" at the end. God is using you so powerfully to remind people of that. Caught me off guard and made me smile and feel His love. God bless you man :) Also have you ever heard of anyone receiving fake Axel's off their legit website? Got a pair of Area Hi's on sale (double checked the site, it's legit) and the gold foiling is slightly imperfect along with some of the stitching. They have like a chemical smell to them. I bought two pairs (for sizing reasons) and they're both like that... would it even be possible to recieve two fake pairs ? Thanks again
Gotta spread His love. Haven’t heard anything about that. I would assume that they are fine and just have a factory flaw. And the chemical smell is probably the glue that they use to cement the sole.
I’m looking to buy some white sneakers for my boyfriend, and have been looking at the all white Axel Arigato Clean 90 so appreciate this video. Which do you prefer out of AA or Common Projects?
Was looking at some Clean 90s in black but they went from $235 up to $250. Meanwhile, I've purchased two sets of Koio Capris for $187 and some change while they were on sale. Does AA ever have sales on their site? Actually, I've seen one sale but they didn't have any colorways that I was interested in...
Everyone’s prices are going up right now! I think the Koio are better options. I don’t see sales on AA’s site. But if you check out Nordstrom they run sales occasionally on them.
Hi 👋🏻 I’m sorry but I can hear if you need ordered 1/2 size down or up, English is not my first language so if you could give me that info I’ll appreciate it
Hey I want to buy them at Farfetch but I notice your shoe does not say ARIGATO on the back and on Farfetch it does say ARIGATO do you think Farfetch may be fake?
I have 4 pairs of Axels and honestly speaking they only makes sense on sale ideally around 80-130. In my opinion they look better than Koio and work so well with wide feet but the quality can be a bit of hit or miss at times hence why you should not pay retail but rather wait for the sales
Thanks for keeping it real brother. I remember when the OG video came out during Covid haha
Thank you so much for the update!

I just think there are much better options at the price point. Glad you like em, they are not a bad shoe by any means.

They are really UNcomfortable

They're on sale right now. Black/white
Thanks for the great video 😁
Is a " removable cushion footbed" mean you can change the insole for another one?
Hey man,if i have wide feet and mostly wear 13 in nikes is it ok to get 14 size in koios or 12 size in AA?
bout to take the dive on the grey suede...275 is steep but they are so clean looking..

I would say go with the "koio capri" in triple white! it is the best of both worlds.
Thank me later
Is the shoe wider than the Koio? Looking for a shoe like this that is high quality and wide. The Koio is too narrow for me. Thx!
Yea a bet wider.
what sale price range would you recommend for these shoes? Wanna get them but not sure what is a good price.
If you can find them 80-140
Can you go a whole size down for this? I’m a size 10 but the next size down is a US nine.
I wear size US 10 in nike, 10 in adidas, 9 in common projects, 10.5 in vans, 9.5 in converse and 10 in Axel Arigato. Hope that helped

@@Brent_Fiore Thanks, I didn't know that Nordstrom's carries them!
Hiii where did you get the koios?😊

No Farfetch is legit. Mine are 4+ years old at this point, probably just a change they made.
Made in Portugal. High quality handcraft
Considering they are in the cheaper end, they actually last.
