Common Projects is a brand built by two guys with common interests. The brand was founded back in 2004 by art director Prathan Poopat and creative consultant Flavio Girolami. Since then they have mastered the art of creating fine Italian leather sneakers, with understated details and lack of embellishment. For Spring/Summer 2016, nothing is left to be missed as this collection has a new pair of shoes for any man looking.

What you may not realize is your sneaker collection is definitely missing something, and it very well could be cotton candy colored soles. This year the Original Achilles Low got a blush facelift. But the offering doesn’t end with surprisingly colored lace up trainers, instead Common Projects has created low, mid and high top iterations in a vast variety of leathers and suedes, and for the more formal, some truly unexpected dress shoes. We recommend the Derby Shine Perforated.
On their site, you can only check out the goods. But head over to an authorized retailer to snag a pair.
