    Re: Avantindietro

    Haha. For $800 I'd be on it like white on rice. Augusta's prices are neck and neck with CCP. So unless there is a huge price reduction on his upcoming spring collection, I'll stick with the Poell.

      Re: Avantindietro

      they're actually more expensive. augusta boots are over $2k i think, and ccp boots are cheaper than that.
      Did you get and like the larger dick?

        Re: Augusta lace-ups

        I think that Augusta boots are great. The original low boot laceups were almost the archetype of a boot straight from a Van Gogh painting. This season the tall laceups are like a civil war boot. Next season it is different again. The closure on the wrap arounds is so simple and elegant. And the leather treatment is remarkable enough to set them apart in itself.

          if he can one up carol with the fit, than i will be impressed.. otherwise it is so obviously a rip off im suprised they are doing this at all. MA boots can also be more than carol as well. if these can look and fit different on than i think everyone will be a l ittle bit more understanding. otherwise, just from images, it just looks like a rearrangement of duplicated ideas.

            Man, I don't see that at all. Amadei's footwear is a far departure from CCP's, in my estimation. Could you provide pics of the articles in question? I'd love to be proven wrong here, but I'll need to see it to believe it, than see it twice. That's what I love about Amadei. Hit or miss, he's doing his thing. Maybe he is trying too hard to hit another benchmark, but he is trying and putting himself out there. Mad props to the man for that.

              I think loveless was talking about price points. MA+ boots were 2k at A, higher than Carol's.



              Having said that, the boots design and style is nothing like CPP's , and the construction as amazing.

                  Re: Avantindietro

                  yea, i was talking about price points, and i was actually referring to the specific boot






                  as compared to









                  the other MA+ boots i have less issue with.



                  eitherway, theres no question the construction will be 2nd to none. and i still think that theres a chance that when on, they could possibly stand apart as well...(as carol's fits aren't always the greatest depending on your foot size).

                      A few more photos of Avantindietro. One shop in Japan received their order... but no closeups unfortunately.




                      From what I can see though, it looks really nice and classic. Beats the hell out of what we've seen of the line and what we've seen of intervallo:











                      The lines on the footwear look nice and the display/presentation is really elegant. Very promising!

                            P.S. But the pics are 99,9% from 2000 made during his trip to Russia. You can also see that he is wearing the same stuff like on the foto wich have been posted here on the first page than cancelled(which can be still seen on some sources).




                            Believe me, it's better not to copy & push those fotos through the net. Mancomes very-very upset when he mets his fotos anywhere(i think, you know thatnot lessthan i do)
