History
The company name came about as Poopat and Girolami were working on a number of 'common' projects together, the original 'Achilles' shoe included, while living in separate countries.[7] All of their shoes feature a line of numbers along the heel, displaying the style, the size and color, respectively.[7] In the brand’s early years, these numbers could be rubbed off, but, now, they are branded in gold foil.[8]
Common Projects were named "Sneaker of the Week" twice by GQ magazine.[9][10]
