How To Stop Common Projects Creasing Badly!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Common Projects Achilles Low sneakers sometimes crease really badly with the factory lacing and it ruins the shape of the leather and the shoe. In this video I show you how to fix that problem so that your shoes wear a lot better and look a lot better with age. They are also a lot more comfortable to wear afterwards.
This will work on any trainers or shoes that have the same problem so if you have any sneakers that have this problem then use the same technique.
I thought this was down to the way I walked but it seems that a lot of people have this problem and I could not find anything on UA-cam with a solution.
For general creases you can use the ironing method but this video is more about those annoying folds you get when there is too much tension in the laces. For older sneakers, they will already be creased badly but this method will make the shoe a better shape afterwards still. I have used this method on a pair of 2 year old Achilles Low and they look so much better.
Let me know if this works for you.

Let me know if this helps you out. It has worked on 2 pairs of sneakers for me
Thnx! This really helped me out!
It didn’t for me 😕
Thank you! I just bought a pair of common projects and I noticed a lot of people pairs develop creases and I wanted to prevent mine from developing that “beat up shoe look”
Calf leather as advertised
This definitely worked and the shoes became way more comfortable as a side effect! I had a pair or Cole Haan shoes that were creased for over a year and this fixed them as well.
I was literally just considering pulling the laces out and going with the ol' criss-cross after I noticed my CP's creasing and figured the way they came laced had something to do with it. I'll try your way because of its similarities to the way they originally came. Thanks
I did that at first and it definitely helps but it just looked so strange with these shoes. I hope this sorts yours out. Let me know if this works for you.
Solid method, mine are already creased but the spread is indeed much nicer now
Just got mine in the mail today and doing it straight out of the box. Thanks for the help
Great tip! Although I’ve only had this crease happen to one of my CPs. I think I’ll use this lacing system for all of them. Prevention is better than cure
I had only had it happen to one other pair (i have 4) and I left it. Just changed it on the old pair today and it is so much better. I am going to switch to this method every time now.
Thank you very much Harry, my oliver cabell sneakers just arrived some days ago and im sure this video will gonna make them last way longer.
I didn't want to follow this "lacing rule" (I saw this video before buying my white sneakers), but my Oliver Cabell creased the first day I started using them lol gonna lace them like Harry did on this video, and see if I can minimize the creases while I'm walking!
@@rookie9353 Me too lol I used mine like 3 days and they were with some ugly creases, it helps a lot.
This is really cool. The same thing was happening to my CP. It's amazing what you can find on UA-cam
I hope this helps you get your sneakers into shape man. Thanks for watching
Yes, I had been having forefoot pressure on these it was painful to wear it was painful to even take a step, and this helped relax those uppers a bit, thanks mate!
I am pleased to hear I could help!
Such a great tip! Works great for my nice oliver cabell low 1!
Never seen that lacing method before, gonna try out. Thanks for sharing
always learning something new, is never too late! thank you for sharing. stay safe.
Thank you. You too!
Just done my new pair of Artisan Lab Essential Whites using this method, not worn them yet but looking for the ultimate way to lace them up to reduce long term wear on the leather.
Only issue with this method is that you can't hide the laces and need to be laced from the outside, not too much of an issue but I do prefer to see my trainers without the bunny ear tied laces.
how does the artisan lab sneaker fare with other more expensive brands?
I just "lost" my right shoe due to creasing which eventually thinned out the not-so-great leather creating a small hole. I wonder if this tip would've helped. Initially I thought it was the leather that was flaking but I was surprised to find a hole. It's a pity, since overall I kept them in good condition. I've been wearing them for two years now and of course I won't pick another Common Project pair again.
great video. will come back to it almost as often as i use the how to tie a windsor knot video
Appreciate this video! Just got a new pair of trainers and wanted to lace them this way but didn’t know what it was called
👊👊👊
Thank you Harry! This worked like a charm I will share this.
Quick and concise, thank you.
If I do not care about it looking like the factory lacing, would the normal, criss-cross way of lacing shoes be more effective at preventing creases?
No lacing method prevents the shoe creasing, this just stops this particular shoe from creasing in a horrible way. The way they are laced in the factory puts too much strain on one side. The criss cross method is a good way to do it to spread the tension but I just don't like the look with this shoe.
Awesome. It works on my pairs! Thanks!
Does this work for all types of shoes/sneakers?
This appears to have worked on one shoe (left) but not the other (right). When you start on the other shoe, do you switch the side that goes up the same side at the beginning?
My guess is that your right foot is just bigger than your left and therefore is putting more pressure on the leather even with the new lacing system
I’ve had my pair for just over a month and they’re still squeaking whenever I walk. Does your pair squeak at all? It’s really frustrating.
Hi James. Ahh the sqeak. This is a problem with some pairs. My first white pair were so loud. My others dont sqeak much at all. You can try some leather cream on them and see if that helps. A lot of people's calmed down over time but my first pair never stopped. I just got used to it in the end. You could try a bit of vaseline also to see if that helps.
Harry Has I’ll try that, thanks for the reply!
@@jimdeen9681 No problem mate. Good luck!
Any tips If the shoe is already creased, how can i restore them?
Wish this video came out in 2018! Better late than never, cheers.
YOU HARRY!!!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha. Glad I could help mate
do you do the opposite for the other side?
Yes you do
i just bought a pass as dead stock pair at a consignment for 196! waiting for it to come
I believe you can achieve the same thing by mirroring the out-the-box lace for the right shoe. So that left and right are symmetrical.
Very interesting and thanks for sharing. I've had 3 CPs where the right shoe has the bad crease. Mirroring the laces from the left shoe should work.
two things that suck about goats, the price and the lacing system. Thanks for the info helped alot!
Could not agree more. I am glad I could help! Have a good weekend
Awesome vid! Bud, l really appreciated&thank you so much.
Stay safe:)
Nice, I’m looking to get a pair of Common Projects and Koio for the first time. Trying to find a pretty good deal. ✌🏻
I honestly don't wear my Common Projects much these days. I needed a break from them. They are a great shoe though
Harry Has They are nice. Can wear them with almost any fit. I wouldn’t wear them too much either. CP and KOIO are two that I’m most attracted to from amongst many other brands. I’ve heard Greats are good as well but CP and Koio has the best silhouette to me
@@CuteGuy0 I agree. Artisan Lab are an amazing more affordable option too.
Koio>CP
Dean Harrington Do Koio ever go on Sale?
Oh man, finally a video about this. I tried it though and still have the crease :/ it’s between the first and second lace. No other shoe I have does this.
Hey man, if you have had the crease for a long while then the leather has probably got used to it too much but still use this method and it will level out the tension and look better than it did. Also try using this method on the shoe that still has the crease and try lacing it the opposite way so if you went up on the left hand side first then do the right hand side first instead. Sometimes the shoe can be out of line slightly and this just aligns it better. This method fixed my problem permanently with my newer pair. Hope this helps.
Getting the right size tends to help. I would say straight out the box most trainers tend to be criss crossed?
Great hack here though!
Thanks, understandable and helpful!
Awesome video man, really appreciated! Thank you!
I’ve been wondering this lately! Thanks!
No worries man!
I will try for sure :-) thanks
Thank you very much!
Do you know how to get rid of the squeak on common projects?
You can try a bit of talc powder on the squeaky areas or some leather cream. Also vaseline will work but just try a tiny bit overnight and then wipe off.
Harry Has thanks it really helped
@@derrickwedge Awesome to hear. Glad it worked!
pick your feet up when you walk
Excellent. Thanks man!
👊🏻
Thank you Sir.
Thanks for making this.
👊🏻
can i use this on air force 1?
There isn’t any point unless you are having the same problem with your af1.
Cool! I've just ordered my first pair of CPs, so this helps me to prevent fucking it up, haha.
Arguably made mine worse, but certainly not better 😅
I think doing this made the sneaker looser. Might be too loose now on my left foot.
For some reason this lacing method does not work for my crown northhampton derbies. It does remove some of the stress caused by laces on my sam smiths but the stock method works better for all of my crowns. hmmm...
This is for common projects and i only do it if they start to crease like this so I don’t do this with other shoes.
@@HarryHas Harry I've been a follower for a while now! I like your videos before watching them, just love you aesthetic.
I have a question can you look up pictures of the Clarks originals Tormatch. (The lacing system) I just got it and not sure whether I should implement this type of lacing to it. Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thanks Harry!
Cheers from India ✌🏼😅
@@HarryHashey harry! do you do the lace on ur other side of the shoe in a “mirror” imaged way of ur right side?
Thanks!!
It actually works thanks
So glad it helped you out. Mine are all good since doing this
you can iron them through a wet towel
Hmmm. Did this fixing a problem I didn’t have and it actually did what he was trying to prevent. Switched mine back. Oh well.
Yeah don’t do it if you don’t have a problem to begin with. No point trying to fix what isn’t broken.
Made it a lot worse for mine. I guess it depends o the size you wear aswell.🤔
This is the default lace up of Oliver cabell
I rather have creasing outwards than inwards which bites into my toe knuckle.
didnt work for me :-(
Use no tie rubber shoe laces 😊
Detail👍
This isn’t working for my Saint Laurent Andy sneakers. Ugh
Sorry mate. Never tried it on any other sneaker
Looks kinda ugly imo, but definitely helpful
Don't buy them
That’s a the best way to stop them creasing that I’ve heard so far. You should make a video
😉
I just buy new ones
I’m afraid we are not all rolling in bucket loads of cash like you. I can’t afford new ones
How to stop Common Projects creasing badly? Stop buying those overpriced and overhyped shoes!
Its not full grain leather, they lied
You must be poor.
That's why i don't like nike, overhyped and dumbly priced but still people buy em
Bro these are the best shoes I have ever owned. They are amazing! A whole year later, they are more comfortable than ever and honestly who cares about the crease.
The design is still the best. It's not the best quality, but you can easily get CP for 250 during sales.
Just buy a pair of decent quality shoes and that won't happen lmfao
Well it’s to do with the factory lacing. Out of interest, why are you watching this video?
they crease because they are cheap leather
1st, don’t wear them, no crease 😀
2nd, don’t buy them, overpriced cheap leather shoes.
