Common Projects Original Achilles Low Sneakers / $410
Referring to these hand-stitched shoes as "sneakers" is a little like calling Notre-Dame de Paris "just a church." Made in Italy using supple, smooth leather, the Achilles Low is an ode to simplicity, and one of the finest "sneakers" in the world. The uppers are paired with color-matched laces and rubber soles, giving them a monochrome appearance that's both understated and elegant, with only the gold foil 1528 style/size/color numbers to break things up.
