Remember the days of fishbowl platform shoes? Good—neither do we. Truly classic footwear is simple and timeless, and we’re thankful to Common Projects for recognizing this winning formula.

Designers Prathan Poopat and Flavio Girolami render understated luxury in their Italian-made Nappa leather sneakers. Tonal laces and uniform color throughout make for straightforward minimalism, while hand-stitched outsoles reveal attention to detail. The signature style number stamp at the side heel provides the only brand indicator—for those in the know.

We’re down with Common Projects' ultraclean design and superb quality. And we’ll never bend to ridiculous footwear trends again.
