The beauty of Common Projects is that the luxury inherent in its products is not announced by a brash logo that assaults your eyes from across the room, but rather much more quietly by the affirming construction and unfailing quality of the materials that are known only to the wearer and a select few who are truly “in the know.” The same holds true for the New York brand’s newest offering — the provenance of its Chelsea Boots are made known only by a cryptic string of ten golden numbers embossed onto the right heel that indicate the style, size and color of the shoe. Otherwise, the charcoal-colored boots are made in Italy from durable natural suede, an elastic gusset in the back, black crepe soles and an ivory heel pull tab. Now available online at Need Supply Co. for $506 USD.
