Canadian shop Roden Gray celebrated its 10th anniversary with a collaboration with Common Projects. The two worked together in reworking a pair of Chelsea boots, blending together functional details with style. The collaborative Roden Gray x Common Projects Chelsea boots boast a premium gray suede material all over.
The foot piece's upper is protected with a natural wax coating in order for it to be water-resistant. As the Chelsea boot's foundation, it sits on a slim Commando sole unit to deliver optimal traction control, while still remaining stylistic. The silhouette's sophisticated nature shines through its functional qualities to really deliver both style and function. The classic Common Project's exclusive silver imprinted model number accents the Roden Gray x Common Projects boot as well.
