Yeah, what on earth do you plan to wear those with? Too rough for a suit, too polished for denim, and the color doesn't go with anything. Just considering them as a shoe design, I actually think they look really cool. They just wouldn't have a place in anyone's wardrobe.
Also, no, I couldn't find them either.

I was thinking they were a great denim shoes or even with some khakis as well.

No good, man. The leather is too shiny and smooth, the broguing is distracting and weird, and the tiny holes make it feel sort of out of place on a casual shoe IMO. Also, as mentioned, the color is just not workable. Unless you wear a lot of, i don't even know, dove grey or glen plaid or something. Probably not even that. If you could get it unbrogued, brown, in a rough suede, then I could see that working with jeans and khakis.

Between the broguing, crepe sole, open lacing, they are casual shoes and perfectly fine for jeans. I like 'em - much better than the favored relatively blobby and ugly desert boots. They're a bit busy, though. Went nuts with the broguing. If you find a line on them, let us know.
