The new tech material (carbon fiber look) they use is just as good as regular leather, the new hi's also has these . If it were this pair with the regular leather, I say go for MMM for sure. http://www.projectno8.com/assets/pro...jpg?1267664658 As AR said though, black sneakers are too broad and there are plenty of choices out there. Aside from his suggestions, check out the new YSL Malibu sneakers, I believe they have an all black version available now, I believe I saw it at Saks in BH. Or just get the MMM GAT mids.

I'd say kop but you know exactly what you're after, don't compromise even if it is compromising with something awesome. You'll still probly regret it and wish you had the other thing.

Man, I saw that RO exploder jacket yesterday. I do not need anymore black leather jackets but if that were a small or x-small, it would have been sold to me already. His fit pics looks good too, not sure why he would want to sell it.

Woah, you're a S/XS? Thought you'd be a M/L (no hate)

Yup, my two Ro's are both size small, the Intarsia fits well and fitted but in the Mollino I probably could have sized down to xs and still fit as nice.

It'd be good for casual everyday wear and could work super nicely with your style, I just don't know how many pairs of sneakers you wear nor how frequently you dress down. I am a big fan of this Rick silhouette, it's my favorite and super wearable.

Green light from me if you are after a casual leather.

do RO leathers run big? your profile says you're a 38 suit jacket, and the fit pics i've seen from you always made you look like a size 38 or so.

then again, fit pics can be kind of deceiving, i always used to think hendrix was a size 40 or so, but he's really a 36 if memory serves.

RO runs small if anything.

Really? I think it depends on the individual pieces, but his outerwear and leathers seem to run tts - half size larger. A 46cm p2p on an XS leather just seems big to me.
