I was just wondering what the SW&D peeps think of teh Lunargrands by Cole Haan. I mostly spend time in the Classic Menswear side of SF and was wondering what the SW&D kicks aficionados think

I am not a fan. I think there might be some love for it on Solecollector.com...

I kind of liked the idea but they came out with too many obnoxious colours, they were too hyped, apparently the soles aren't completely real LunarWhatever (they're a bit heavier, or so I keep hearing), and the uppers look really cheap when you see them up close. I think I was one of their defenders on here but after seeing them in the wild I lost all interest.

Creeper soles, contrast soles/welts, etc. have caught on in the mainstream to the point where there are lots of better options.

The Nike Technology is called Lunarlon. I held em and they seemed very light to me. Also i disagree about being cheapy because I think the suedes are soft and the leather ones are nice. Anyone else have an opinion?
