Common Projects is a footwear label founded in 2004 by Flavio Girolami and Prathan "Peter" Poopat, designed in New York and manufactured in Italy. The Achilles low-top defines the line: Italian calfskin uppers, a slim rubber sole, and a ten-digit gold serial number stamped on the heel encoding style, size and colour — the only visible branding. The range extends to Original Achilles, BBall, Tournament and Chelsea styles, plus boots and small leather goods, in muted, logo-free colourways.

Does Common Projects run big or small?

Common Projects runs large. For the sneakers, most people go a half to a full EU size down from their usual (and down a full size if between sizes); treat the rare apparel pieces as Italian-cut and close to true to size. Common Projects is discussed almost entirely through its footwear, where the consensus is strongly that the Achilles and related lasts run large and long, so most buyers drop a half to a full size; the small apparel/outerwear offering is generally reported as a slim, Italian-cut regular fit.
