      I actually met Simone at the layers opening party - an incredibly nice and friendly guy who is unbelievably passionate about what he does......
      tried to buy/steal/beg the pair of boots he was actually wearing (my size ) but like i said he's a passoinate guy, so i unfortunately went home wearing the same pair of augusta i had gone out in......
      talked about the leathers, the soles, the processes etc etc.....truly interesting evening...
      you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter...

            a pair of his classic mid-height lace-ups, but i had never seen that exact shape of leather before...the seemed more 'substantial'....stunning...the shape/toe was slightly different to what we see now - i guess they were a couple of years old....

            i will be continueing my effort to get my hands on them.......

              I'm considering picking up a older style as well. Kudu Laceup.

                There is a new (SS10) Kudu laceup that Barney's stocks, and it is currently on sale. Have you seen them? I am a big fan of the older ones you posted as well. These are the same height as those, just a bit more tan in color.

                        i have them in bone, oddly the 46 is a wee bit tight. every other pair i've ever tried in 46 was roomy.

                          the kudu leather is very nice
                          dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

                            and look perfect - you inspired me to wear mine today........nice one enders.....

                            the all black are pretty cool at aterlier, but if i go all black its going to be dripping with black rubber me thinks......

                                ugh, don't tempt me. i need to get a new pair of derbies next year...

                                yeah, i would love to get black drip sneakers, but i wouldn't want to wear them every day. i think they would be perfect to wear with ccp suiting..

                                so now i need to find a sole color to match the sneakers (dirty grey) and replacement laces (i know they'll break)

                                if anyone out there hates rick dunks, get the augusta sneakers..
