I find it impossible to imagine the 400 Euro shoes will look anything at all like the ones in the photo. Those finishes are way to elaborate for shoes in that price range. I wouldn't be surprised if the blogger is mistaken about the price point.

I don't find it so surprising since they are blake stitched.

Those prices came from Riccardo himself, as did the pictures....if you read the post though, you would have seen that everything is still tentative.... hence the 'around 400 Euros' comment....

Wow - if those shoes are samples of what the final product might look like I'm definitely interested and eager to see them available!

I did read the post that everything was still tentative. That's why I presume we are looking at special samples that included hand finishing, etc. etc.

Don't like the look at all.  Too fashion forward and Italian.  Interesting remarks in the scanlation thread by Japanese bespoke artisan Koji Suzuki - who trained with Ugolini  -  about his maturing distaste for Italian styling, and his move towards more classic English lines.

More classic English lines aka total boredom.

I say both! Or even all! Some Italian, some English, some French, some Hungarian, perhaps some Japanese.

Each culture and it's footwear aesthetic has it's own unique style and it's own unique charms. I prefer to select from all of the various cultures the individual shoe which most appeals to me.

Although I must confess I lean pretty heavily toward the continental european aesthetic in general as opposed to the traditionally 'proper' English look. And I'm perfectly happy to say that the Italian aesthetic can go too far into 'experimental' or extreme for my taste. Even though I dearly love lots of Italian shoes.
