Monk Straps became very ‘on trend’ a few years ago but here’s the truth, monk strap shoes are a classic menswear staple. In fact, I would even argue that every man should own at least one pair. I have been rocking a pair of classic Jil Sander Monk Strap shoes for years and it just might be time to upgrade to a new pair – Robert Geller x Common Projects (don’t worry those Sander’s aren’t going anywhere). These bad boys are made in Italy of buffed leather with black zipper teeth accent trimming toe and apron. I am a big fan of the classic numbers branding on the side by Common Projects and the unusual closure for the strap. A great modern twist on a classic menswear shoe. $855
