The Achilles Low carries almost no branding beyond the row of gold numbers on the heel, so that is where copies put their effort. A Common Projects authenticity check confirms those numbers match the style, size and color in your photos, then judges the insole stamp, stitching, sole and leather. A correct number on a poorly made shoe is still a fake.

Very useful. Found a counterfeit pair of shoes I would have never figured out.

What we check on Common Projects
How to tell a real Common Projects from a fake
On Common Projects the gold heel numbers are the first check: they have to match the style, size and color of the pair in your photos. With so little branding, the numbers and the insole carry most of the check.
01
Gold heel numbers
Foil depth, font and spacing, and whether the style, size and color numbers match the pair.
02
Insole stamp
Print weight and spacing of the logo and the Made in Italy text.
03
Side profile
Toe shape, heel height and the clean panel lines of the model.
04
Stitching
Stitch density and loose threads along the sole and the overlays.
05
Sole
Sole color, the cup sole edge and the tread underneath.
06
Leather
Grain, finish and how the leather creases.
07
Box and dust bag
Box label matching the heel numbers, and the dust bag.

The gold numbers on the heel are read as the style, the size and the color of the shoe. On a real pair they match the model, its color and the size you have. A valid number printed on the wrong pair is a common giveaway, so we check the number and the shoe together.
No. The numbers are one checkpoint and can be copied from a genuine pair. They have to agree with the shoe, and then the foil, the insole stamp, the stitching and the leather have to match verified references.
Compare the gold heel numbers, the insole stamp, the stitching along the sole and the leather with a pair you know is real. Small differences in foil depth and print weight are hard to judge by eye, so upload photos and our authenticators check them for you.
Yes. Ask the seller for both heels with the gold numbers, the insole stamp, the side profile, the sole edge and the box label. Upload them before you pay and we check the pair against references for that model.
Yes, retailers list Common Projects sneakers as made in Italy. A Made in Italy stamp is copied too, so it is one checkpoint among several, not proof by itself.
For the most accurate and quick authentication process, we advise you to upload clear photos of the areas visible when clicking 'Upload photos' on this page. We quickly determine if the uploaded photo meets our criteria. If your photos do not meet the criteria, you will receive a request for more and/or clearer photos. Check out Photo Instructions to find clear examples for each detail.
We provide a range of authentication response times to suit your needs, with options including 12 hours, 6 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes.
