    Common Projects are the go-to minimalist white sneaker, BUT, they aren't as good as they could be. They missed two important things, a blake stitch and a leather insole. Goral claims they did it right and have the best white sneaker and more importantly "THE WORLD'S FIRST BLAKE STITCHED TRAINERS". I cut them apart to see what's what!

    To everyone who left us such great constructive criticism in the comments of this video (😉) we hear you loud and clear, the pitched sole is pretty divisive and definitely isn't for everyone... so we took a step back, looked at the feedback and launched The Mellor II, exact same construction as seen in this video, including the blake stitch and leather insoles, just with a few tweaks to the aesthetics.

    The updated version of these, The Mellor II has the updated looks that everyone is looking for in a minimalist sneaker. Amazing construction and I think the new version looks better than the somewhat bulbus Crown Northhamptons that are also amazing construction. I don't know why there are not more reviews on the updated version of these sneakers.

    You didn’t say what the one brand you have left is. Now you’ve done Goral I think it’s even more important that you do Crown Northampton by way of comparison. Crowns are also supposed to be repairable. Their shoes are also cheaper than Goral, even with Horween Chromexel leather (not available in white though). I hope you’ll find time to examine them in future. Oh, and many happy returns, as we say in England.
