Common Projects’ Fall footwear continues along the same minimal vein with stunning results. High top and low top styles are mostly monochromatic in leather and fabric, and span a variety of styles like high tops, low top, sports, and boot looks. With just as wide a range of tonal combos, you’re sure to find your fall dream shoes. [via hypebeast]
Horse hair rarely seems so appealing, especially when combined with anything that toes the athletic line. These New Balance M575 Horse Hair sneakers are fashioned in a blinding white and light caramel blend, and have thin white laces as a nice contrast to all that texture. Some of this fur has been shorn down for more depth along the front uppers, while the New Balance “N” gets a little longer. [via hypebeast]

All the looks are pretty daring, so it’s up to you to fill in the cracks of your fall footwear collection. [via highsnobiety]

A little fall footwear for you? Gourmet’s 2009 looks for autumn are super stylized and pared down, with clean soles and good details at the ankles, including straps and geo cutouts. With many neutral, yet textured, upper options, Gourmet has released new variations of their Uno, Nove, Quattro, and Cinque shapes. We’re just wondering how you’re going to pick one. [via hypebeast]
This Givenchy Spring/Summer 2010 accessories collection is one that’s tempting to throw to the wolves in a duke-it-out-amongst-yourself attempt. While bags and cuffs were striking and tough, the gladiator sandals and shoes were more of an acquired taste. Can you dig these manly, heavy sandals, or are they rubbing you the wrong way? Inquiring minds want (no, need) to know. [via coute que coute]
Tasty new Claes for the picking–which ones will you be buying? Delivery 2 of the new Clae Fall 2009 brings about an interesting forest green pair complete with upper strap, suede jobbies in red, and even woolen Russell ones with leather upper detailing in two colorways. Some feature decorative topstitching, others look a little more rustic or retro-inspired. [via TBR]
The Astor Flyers 2009 were designed with a minimalistic sole, but are paired with an interesting metallic bend and heavy-duty foot strap. Ribbed tongue and panels give these high-tops a slightly more moon-walkerish appearance. Quilted textile/nubuck uppers feature leather-laced and hooked closures, and you should consider buying two pairs if you want that white sole to stick around. It’s going to be hard to pry these off your feet. [via culture shoq]
The Nike Sportswear Challenger is part of Nike’s vintage running collection and will take you back years–even if you weren’t wearing them the first time they came around. Before air units came into play and things got high-tech, these green suede Sportswear Challengers, available at Colette, were kicking up the dirt. Fun and retro. [via hypebeast]
