    I have pretty much worn the new cordovan dipped trainer every day this winter. No exaggeration. The new versions have been perfected (my kangaroo 1.0 was sort of a structural letdown) I havent worn any piece of footwear this much since grade school. The latex is the perfect snow slush equalizer. They are un ccp like in their comfort. I feel blessed to own such a comfortable shoe.

      Do you mean some sort of a new 2009 version or the really new ones with the rubber sole underneath the dip are I haven't seen anywhere yet?

        They are the new 2010-11 version I believe but how the hell can I say with any certainty?

            That's interesting because I haven't seen them anywhere.

            Do you have a sideview picture, because I only know the frontview picture from Lift

              Gambled w special order, got lucky, (for the most part) received them in dec
              The cordovan is much softer than the impossibly stiff toe cutter first cordovan version that came out last s/s. Theyre really nothing short of amazing

                so you have the ones with the see through sole (for want of a better description)

                  Yes if you were to remove the latex covering. Sort of like Nike air revolution. It's like the sole has a spring built into it. Don't look much different than cuddlys

                    If they are the ones I think with the airmax 95 soles then they are the 2010/11, and your probably the only person who has them right now

                    They must look different from the side because I think the new sole elevated the heel more and I think you can see the air bubble in the heel

                      agreed if they are what Im thinking it is very different in appearence to the current although there are several sole versions on the sneaker with the one we are thinking be the next extreme,others are similar to the 09 i think but with a rubber commando sole added before dip and the latex cover being less full than of the 09 versions so you can see the open bridge between the heel and toes,only Pnod can put this to rest though to be fair

                        these are the 2010/11 i am talking about with the airmax 95 sole - surely you haven't got these?

                          to be correct its more in the style of air max bw, 95 would suggest a full foot 'air unit'

                              The new version of the sneakers in the photo is much better looking in my opinion, may I say beautiful.

                                nice pics. hadn't seen. based on these I would say I have the old version with the new sole but it's covered. you can see the outline of the air max form. the latex also spills over the toe box like the old and the rounded back lip by the ankle is still there which seems to have been replaced by the flat back. mine also doesn't have the two converse side holes
