Common Projects Pro Collection

He was a skater boy. You said, “See ya later, boy.” Ten years was enough.

Rekindle your crush this season over Common Projects Pro Collection.

You may have traded the boy with the board for a man with a Mini, but Prathan Poopat and Flavio Girolami will remind you of your first love. The duo channeled backgrounds in industrial and graphic design into a new line of  shoes made of fine Italian leather and suede.

Trade your tired Connie All-Stars for sleek and simple shell toes and you’ll be gleaming the cube in no time. More the varsity type? Get game in perforated-leather tennis shoes.

The fashion police may lurk, but Common Projects proves that skateboarding is no crime.

Tell the feds to roll that in your Thrasher mag and smoke it.

Available at Drewlewis, 845 Spring Street, unit c, Midtown (404-881-5359). To see styles, go to commonprojects.com.
