words // Darren Griffin:
If a pair of Common Projects has alluded you thus far, you may be missing out on one of the most comfortable and stylish pairs of sneakers there is. Sure, they aren’t equipped with the technical advancements noted in today’s performance running or basketball silhouettes, yet there is a lot to be said for the utmost craftsmanship and the finest of materials. The minimal brand returns today with a new collaboration with Swedish online retailer Trés Bien for the highly anticipated follow-up to last year’s Achilles Gum Sole Black.
The Trés Bien x Common Projects Achilles “Canvas Blue” deviates from the brand’s commonality of premium leather construction for a uniquely crafted cotton canvas build. A smooth navy upper is accented by gold branding at the rear and liner, while metal eyelets and a leather heel finish the base. At last, a perfectly contrasted rubber gum midsole caps the look of this high-end collaboration that releases on March 27 at Trés Bien for $290.
