Best Samuel L. Jackson impression so far
I thought you would choose the Common Project boot. But at the end it all made sense, Common Project is higher quality but not 5 times higher quality as to be worth 5 times more money. And true, when u go party, no one around you gonna take ur boot off your feet to read the serial numbers and say, “oh wow, u have a $500 boot!” .... LOL 😂
well said JC!!
Just went on the New Republic website. Sure enough, ...there they are; Sand Colored Chuck Chelsea's for $99 bucks. 25% off if you spend over $250 on your purchase. God, that would bring the price on those Chelsea's down to what, $75 bucks? That's 1/7th the cost of the Common Projects... BIG difference in price for 2 boots that ARE practically identical Thank you Jeff!
You got it Anthony!
The $500 one's kinda has an UGG shape to them from a front side angle, the $100 one's are much sleeker looking.
that might be from me beating them up and the $100 jawns being brand new..
Clockwork pretty sure they are handcrafted btw
i noticed that too and i don't like the UGG shape lol good thing i did some research before actually paying $500
I have the sand and black new republic chelseas and I love em. I'd wear em everyday if I could. I surely pick em over common projects as well ! Great video Jeff !
Thanks Taron!
i have the black new republics and they’re suuuper good looking, and extremely comfortable, and that’s coming from someone who has flat feet 👌🏾
Salute Tauseef!
Tauseef Chauhan Sold! I have the same and have been looking @these boots for a year. Pulling the trigger if they're still available.
Tauseef Chauhan i have flat feet aswell when your wearing them can you tell you have flat feet for example does it fall to the side
i mean, you can but its not that noticable when wearing them, especially with the right outfit. it doesnt even seem like you have flat feet most of the time
How do they fit? Do they run true to size?
Love the red cardigan
Thanks John!
The 400 dollars difference is the biggest difference but the second biggest difference is that the Common Projects is goodyear welted and the other one is not. That means the Common Projects is resole-able and rebuildable for about 100 to 150 dollars meaning it would cost more to fix them than to buy the other boots however you get to keep wearing the common projects for a decade or two where the cheap boots you simply throwaway and buy a new pair.
Appreciate the input !
I’ll make sure not to make that mistake. I’ll have $400 left over so I can buy some clothes for those $100 Chelsea boots. 😁. Great video my friend!
Thanks my brother!
Got my New Republic’s last week after seeing your video! Best investment ever!
Yes Axel!
Great video! I'm new to your channel and it is now my favorite. Only one thing that should be mentioned is the cemented construction vs the welted/stitched construction. Keep the good content coming...
Salute
Thanks Benjamin! Welcome to the channel..
If I were to buy, I would choose the $99 dollar pair for sure. The other one would cost me a few nights on the sofa and a lot of headache. Salute!
definitely not worth that sofa action!
Was looking for these types of comparison videos. Subbed
Welcome to the channel Private!
Video starts at 1:48.
I'm in the same boat with the Allen Edmond liverpool chelseas. 445 for a pair seems steep when i can get a similar pair for about 200 on Thursday boots. Quality does count for a lot though especially if you're looking for lasting power. Too many times have i fallen for the buy cheap buy twice pitfall lol. Keep up the good work dude.
definitely is a balancing act between quality and value..
I was in the same boat. How I got over it was all my main shoes I knew I would wear often I would spend the extra. Shoes that I knew I wouldn’t like colored oxfords were the ones I wouldn’t spend as much on. Hope this helps...
i like that thought process..
I know I'm late but Thursday Boots quality is very high similar to what you would find in some 400$+ boots actually higher quality compared to some others
Add the Taft tonal chelsea boots into this mix. They fall right into the middle of these two and have a leather sole but with rubber inserts.
I'll have to check them out..
Just purchased the jude chelsea boots a few months ago and they are beautiful! Haven't worn them yet however I have worn 3/5 of the other tafts shoes I purchased and imo the finish on the sole is merely for cosmetic appeal. The studded grips don't appear to enhance traction.
The Style O.G. Great channel and reviews. Just discovered tonight. I maybe purchasing a pair of new republics soon so the discussions were helpful. 👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽
One big difference the cheaper one the sole is just cemented the the other is blake construction The sole will not fall of. The cement construction one can easily pull of the sole by the hand. The things that you do not see makes a great difference The price should be three and half to one
What about if you compare these boots with Thursday boots? Which one is better and value for money?
Great video, I would suggest getting some soundproofing where you record so there is less reverb and we can hear your more clearly!
appreciate the input Travis!
Great video . I LIKE all style. Good boot great price. EXCELLENT job bro♥
Thanks Sis!
Where did you get that red sweater from?
I have both. Both are great. Is there a way to clean the rubber bottom?
I bought a pair of common projects Chelsea tan boots for $200. So I’m pretty sure I had the better deal at the end of the day.
For that price, no doubt !
The shape of those New Republic boots is fire man, super dope. So glad i found ur channel yo , keep them videos coming. Peace
Appreciate it Valentin
Got the CPs for $274 last week
Great cop Jordan!
Jordan Cheng i went with some Oro Los Angels Chelsea boots! Sand Crepe!
Just got the common projects!! They are beautiful
Indeed they are Tal!
Check out the Kristopher boots at Kohl's. Almost identical and a lot cheaper.
I have a really small foot and I wear a size 7Y in kids shoes would the chelsea boots fit me
Saw a video before and you recommended New Republic. You've sold me on these today. They should pay you for marketing these. By the way friend of mine was wearing a chelsea and I gave him props. Then he said "that's what they call these". Broke my heart OG.
at least you were able to put him up on game!
What’s up Style OG? Do you know if the color of Khaki and Sand are the same thing on the Common Projects suede chelsea? Or just used interchangeably and CP doesn’t officially have a Sand color? Thanks again for your input.
mine are labeled Sand..
Great video! I would like your take on how to style cargo pants? Also you come off to me as a boxing fan, if so, will you be watching Lomachenko vs Rigo next week? Who you got??
i got Lomanchenko all day!
Common projects has some of the most luxurious suede/nubuck leather I've ever felt and they are all built to last for a few years which is well worth the price tag except after 2 years of wear, it probably won't feel soft anymore, there's no way to clean all that dust and dirt out of the suede. Out of all their chelsea boots, the original black leather chelsea is still the best.
I will have to check out their leather boots
How about Thurday Boots Co. And New Republic can you do a comparison on those two or have you already?
By the way love the channel.
don't have any Thursday Chelseas, appreciate the compliment Jason!
I dont think you compaired them in a fair way. Almost all the comparisons where visual, which fast fashion companies mimik really well. The real difference is in the construction of the boot and the way is ages/shapes over time. You could tell by looking at the sole that the New Republic boot was a cemented boot and the common projects where either a blake stitched or goodyear welted boot. A blake stitch or goodyear welt allows for resoleing of the boot making it last alot longer. For your next comparison video I'd love to see you go into more detail about each boot and also wear them both in so you can get a feeling for the comfort of the boots.
Appreciate the input Vincent !
Which one out the two have a larger heel height ? In other words which one makes you taller?
What I don’t understand is why they changed the pull tabs color in the New Republics is was good already in the old color but in the end it’s just a pull tab
that would be the first thing I would change..
So they wouldn’t get sued by common projects for stealing their design
Bruh on God you're so genuine which is why I'm in that notification *GANG GANG* these companies defintiely should be paying you
appreciate you Jonathan!
It’s a good thing I saw this video so I’m definitely going to get my cream new republic man boots to go with my turtleneck outfit for my birthday in February.👍🏾
I like it Xavier!
I think you need to wear the boots for a while before you compare them. IF the New Republic Suede hold up for a few years (comparable to the Common Projects) then YES! they are the winner. I found out that sometimes the higher priced items hold up a lot better with time and that's why they cost so much more.
As a side note... I would not buy the Common Projects boots (even if they were 5 times better) because I can't afford them now :)
appreciate the input!
Real talk OG. I own three new republic Chelsea,s and I kid you not,those shoes are elegant.
great shoe for sure Ben!
How the sizing on the new republic boots? I go down a whole size for my true to size on my common projects.
i had to a go a full size down..
i caught that Jigga Line. But nice shoe my man!!
Hov!!
Riiight😁
Great video but I have a few questions. What's the difference in comfortability between the boots, which one is easier to walk in? Which one is more comfortable after long hours of usage? And would you recommend the Common Projects to someone with wide feet?
I have the Common Projects but it depends on the need of the wear depending on the places there worn.
I agree..
It bothers me how pricey Chelsea boots are these days. They are basically low-cut cowboy boots, which is why I love them. They are as versatile (in weather) and as reliable cowboy boots, but they look more casual, and more elegent. So my honest opinion is if you want to spend over $100 on a pair, go to a cobbler and have it made. Same thing I recommend for Cowboy boots.
appreciate the input Zachary!
new republic still good?
What about ysl suede chelsea boots vs common projects suede chelsea boots? Which one should i choose
Yeah! Chelsea. I salute you sir, very good taste
How do the new republic fits?
How do you compare shoes and boots in terms of quality without discussing construction methods? While I think $500 is steep for what you're getting, it's important to remember that the construction method is part of that cost.
I feel you Jason, but if I do too much of a deep dive most people will drop off and you and i will be having a one on one discussion..lol
I think the Thursday Boot option with the gyw and waterproof treatment represents the best value at $199
I’ll have to check them out !

Do the new republics fit like Air Force ones or??
Great video! I just bought a pair a couple of weeks ago. How does the quality of the crepe on the Common Projects boot compare to the New Republic? Also, do you clean your crepe soles? From what I gather, there’s no real practical way to clean crepe soles and the dirt is just a natural part of the charm of the boot.
No real way to clean the crepe..
Just copped them new republics. Eventually I’ll level up to a nicer boot but I just need the look 😅
How long do these last with proper care? I dont feel like spending $100-$500 every few months.
When reviewing shoes in particulate its pretty important to put what size you purchased. Besides that great video
Thanks for the input Quentin!
No problem brother. Keep it classy and fresh. Peace
What’s the sizing comparison?
My man. This game in clutch. Bless
Bless!
Great video. I might get that new republic boot in a few weeks.
wise choice D!
Let me get your opinion on this talking about Chelsea boots. I'm looking real hard at these blue strand leather Gucci Chelsea boots. The cost is roughly $975. I need a gross purchase at least once in my life. What is your opinion on them?
can you give me a link so i can take a look at them?
www.barneys.com/product/gucci-strand-leather-wingtip-chelsea-boots-504859051.html these are brown but I've seen them in blue.
they are mean but i think the bee will date them in a few years..
Excellent video, random popped up and I have been contemplating this in my head and am finding it hard to spend $500 when I have owned new republic before and know its easily for $100 any day of the week... SUBBED
Welcome Arthur!
I love this video, its very helpful. The only remaining question I have is, does the new republic shoe run true to size or a little big?
half size big to me..
Those new republic joints look made cheaper in comparison so the common projects. Just off the look the 500 dollar joints look so much richer.
the big difference is definitely the quality of the suede..
The new republic boots look way better than the common projects boots in my opinion, plus, the common project one looks a little beat up....I have a real problem with spending a serious amount of money on something that looks worn lol...not that it can't be worn, it just shouldn't look like it. Also, if I had it my way, I would change the colors of the pull tabs on both shoes; I'm not really feeling the colors on the pull tab of the new republic boot...great video Jeff and red looks nice on you 😊
it is worn because i've been wearing them for a year and a half! lol . the new republic are new. maybe i should mentioned that more than once. thanks as always Rebecca. you are always welcome here😀
Lol...my bad...I retract some of my statement then😆...and thank you!
you were too busy checking out the man in the red sweater!😉
Haha...😉
Great Video as always OG! Just wondering how you feel about boat shoes? If you like them any tips how style them?
they are a summer staple and never go out of style. shorts, chinos , and jeans all work..
Thanks OG! Salute!
Can anybody tell me what color is it on his right hand
Commons just look better… and nice red cardigan bro 👊🏽👊🏽
Excellent video, I have three pairs of New Republic Chelsea Boots , different colors , The Dusty Pink color is nice also . Thanks .....
Thanks Patrick! i was very tempted to grab the dusty pink..
Style OG.... What do you think about the Rag & Bone boot line?
Great video, Jeff. Found your channel a few days ago and really enjoy your videos. Have a question, have you ever worn clothes or shoes by designer Joseph Abboud? Men’s Wearhouse sells his stuff. I bought a suit beginning of the year and a pair of taupe suede Chelsea boots that are still in transit to me. Just wondered your thoughts…
Thanks Tom, welcome to the channel! It's been a while since I have worn some Abboud. I had some sports coats from him in the past but nothing recently. I would love to hear your feedback when you get you stuff!
I purchase 2 pairs from Johnson and Murphy last weekend...$179 each 😂 I love this boot. Thanks!
you got it Darryl!
LOL, i liked that last line. im still tryna decide which style of boot i like best
appreciate the feedback Santel!
Awesome vid! I've been eyeing all of the New Republic Chelsea boots lately, such a great price & the quality & shape looks great too compared to a lot of the others I've seen. What color was your New Republic Chelsea Boot? I'm planning to buy the Sand colorway with the Orange/Blue pull tab. I'm hoping the ones in your video aren't the sand colorway, it looks really grey. Might just be the lighting or something though. Edit: Nevermind, just rewatched the vid a few more times & realized you said it's the sand colorway.
watch a few more times if you like! lol
@ThestyleO.G. How do the new repubs run? Narrow? Regular? Thank you
They run a little big, go a half size down..
Great vid I was looking for a Chelsea boot and u got me sold on the new republic
Thanks Rob!
Do those boots run true to size or big?
true
This video would have been a much better visual comparison had you used a brand new pair of Common Projects along side the brand new New Republics.
Buy me a new pair
What about common projects on sale? Im looking for a chelsea or a pair of boots like yslp, but dont wanna pay over 500 or 400 cad
They are for sure worth it on sale!
Thanks OG.
no problem Koblavi!
How does the Thursday boot measure up?
haven't come across their suede chelseas in person..
I am planning to get some New Republics, should I go true to size?
i suggest true to size..
Hey there Jeff. I came across a pair of CP’s suede in Sand color for 225. Should I go for it or wait till the end of the month for New Republic to stock up? Thanks.
I would cop the CP for 225!
The Style O.G. Thank you kindly sir!
That Jay-Z line was smooth at the end playa! Salute from LA Triple OG!
West side!!
How about the size and fit in relation to sneakers? Sneakerhead here slowly switching to boots and dress shoes.
ive found the new republics to be true to size, i wear 11.5 most sneakers, 11.5 new republic chelseas and the common projects are in Euro size 44
@@TheStyleOG , thanks dude. I thought I'd never get a reply judging from the age of the video. 👊
OG, any difference in the sizing between the two? For example is an 11 in Common Project = 11 in New Republic??
Common projects are in European sizes. I wear a 44 in most and these fit true to size. New republics run true to size to maybe a half size big..
Guys close your eyes. He sounds like Samuel L. Jackson. lol
Great video tho!
inlove new republic boots there comfortable they are good quality
new republic all day. I have the black ones they re nice in the fall/winter. salute...
The style og how is the fit on the boots?
i would size down a whole size on both and they are a bit narrow..
G what type of white tee is that?????
good ole Hanes!
Great boot excellent price . good info
Thanks Nate
Anyways, I appreciate the review brotha
is there a difference in comfort?
common projects win in comfort..
Do the new republic chelsea boots run true to sz?
They do..
Too bad those new republic Suede Chelsea's are all sold out. 😭😭😭 Hopefully they bring back some more in the San color. Those are beauty. Salute...
Salute David!
Always get the cheaper version trust me. If you look online the Kenneth Cole monks have higher ratings then the Allen Edmonds monks. No way in hell I would spend more then 500 on dress shoes unless I was getting them custom made with my name on them.
appreciate the input Roger!
What do you think 💭 about Steve Maddens Chelsea boots ?
not bad. i give em about a 7.5/10
The Style O.G. Tru
Do these run like Timbs ?
true to size
The Style O.G. Can you be a little more specific ? Cause I have a bunch of different shoes in different sizes so idk if I should get a 10.5 or a 10 or possibly go up to an 11
for which brand?
The Style O.G. Like Loafers, Air Force 1s, Jordans, and adidas
i prefer the Saint Laurents myself. Great video tho
So do I, loan me 1000 bucks Ben!
Check out sales bro. They often go for 400-500usd brand new.
You should do a review with Thursday boots ?
considering it..
Not bad could use a lil more editing for pacing as well as some music and artwork to bookend the review
Also timing is key here gotta really sell that reveal cause that's what the hook is from the headline
appreciate the constructive criticism..
good content I'm glad I came across it
