The skin appears to be lizard.

It looks to me like the typical Bottega Veneta patterned calf, but you could be right.

(Actually, I checked on the website, and it's snakeskin. And one can only order three of them every 30 days, because of "high demand!" So you were much righter than I was. I thought snakeskin was what gauche Texas oil barons get their cowboy boots made out of.)

Hermes actually made a lizard-skin moto jacket once and I wanted it. It was limited release though.

Now, what would that make KitonBrioni?

The snakeskin alone, in a simple design on an elegant last, could make a really nice shoe.

But with all the detailing, it looks like a Stacy Adams Marshalls special.

I reckon " Guccis " made of petroleum-based fabrics might appeal to some

floss is a street term for flaunting money (i.e. maybach 63, gucci down coats, giant diamond crosses). it was a light hearted way of saying i know these shoes are slightly identifiable.

anyway, i like this style with jeans and a shirt & jacket. i know it's garish as compared to more traditional looks - but i like those too.

the snake or lizard skin versions of the same were also avail on bluefly, but i grabbed these black leather ones for $250 with a coupon.

I don't know what people see in the Gucci Loafer, out of the logo... $500 for a logo ? c'mon

Floss is too much ebonics for styleforum!
Took 2 rounds for people to get it =)

The signature logo is too high up on the shoe.
For people who are label hawking..they would probably prefer the green/red slashed on the toe. On the top of the foot..it'll be hidden by your slacks..

Those Guccis are driving shoes when you rock a quarter to eight.

I find these pretty amusing

'quarter-eight' this gent refers to was the '05 BMW 745i which has now been replaced by the 'ten-ta-eight' New Yorkers will see many quarter-eights driven in the city by Korean Deli owners, as this is their sedan of choice.

if, and I stress if, i was going to Monaco for the season... say arriving mid-may for the F1 race and staying through June (pre-tourist season)... i might need those.

of course, they would match my hermes ostrich cell-phone holster

pimpin' ain't easy as the man say...
