Common Projects

Highly coveted and beautifully made, Common Projects shoes are practical yet luxurious, with intentionally low-key branding: each product is inconspicuously foil-stamped with the factory identification code and style numbers. Merged with high-quality Italian craftsmanship, the result is minimalist, streetwise footwear that celebrates the wearer, not the maker.

one size too big
Do not listen to the reviews saying this is 2 sizes too big. Just size down one size and you should be fine. I’m normally a 7.5 and get a 38 in golden goose and other euro brands. But this one a 37 fit perfectly. Good luck

Poor quality Common Projects for exorbitant price
These sneakers are not worth $400. They are extremely uncomfortable and caused me great pain. The material doesn’t give at all so it feels like putting your foot in a plastic bucket and rubs skin on your feet raw. It was my correct shoe size and it still did this. I was so shocked by the poor quality of this shoe that I contacted Common Projects directly about it but did not receive a reply. Thank you Nordstrom for the quality service you provide to your customers. I will continue purchasing shoes from Nordstrom directly.

Perfect leather sneaker
Really great minimalist sneaker with buttery soft leather. Goes well with everything! The shoe is long and narrow, so make sure to try on in store. The length is about a half size longer than your true size but given the narrow toe box, you should take your normal EU size unless you have narrow feet (in which case size down).

Perfect white sneaker
I’m closed toe shoes, I normally wear a 7 to 7 1/2. I took a 6 in these. They are extremely well made. They are the perfect white sneaker. I love them!!!! I will say that the 3rd time I wore them, I walked a lot and right above my big toe joint got irritated. Maybe they weren’t broken in enough to do a lot of walking at that point. Other than that they are super comfy and classic! I have my eye on the gray pair next. I am officially common project obsessed !
