We came across these C9 Champion training sneakers at Target and did a double take — those look familiar!
If you're thinking the same thing, it's because they're strikingly similar to APL's popular TechLoom Pro [1]; it's essentially a direct knockoff, for less than one quarter of the price. C9 Champion's Focus sneaker [2] comes in at $37 (with a sale style in blue at $18 [3]), compared to the $160 price tag at APL [4].
While we cant vouch for comfort or quality (we've only tried the APL style), if you're looking for an everyday streetwear style, these will do the trick . . . and save you a whole lot of cash.
