The Official Artisanal "streetwear" footwear (boots, shoes, sandals) thread (Guidi, CCP, Augusta, M.

[Razele]



Question:
I have these boots and like them a lot. But sometimes I find them a bit difficult to wear because they are a greenish black, and I don't have a lot that goes well with green undertones except lighter shades of grey. So I am thinking about dying them entirely black.
One concern I have is that I already have black reverse backzips (cdiem), so a pair of black reverse laceups might be redundant and not get worn much
Stupid or brilliant?

D, I wouldn't dye this, that is a really nice colour IMO

I have some Dark Green / Grey MMM Beautiful boots (the pecos) and I love that colour.

I only dye brown -> black, easy dye job and I hate brown shoes so its an easy choice for me.

Speaking of which, my CDiem brown derbies arrived, been wearing them the last two days, ugh I love them so much. Will be even better dyed black (will keep the welt / sole / heel stack natural coloured) but they are just the best last and construction is amazing. So comfortable too. I would love another three pairs ideally, two black backzips and black 5 / 6 hole lace ups. I pretty much have money in my paypal account to kop as soon as they pop up

This thread is in top 5 best threads on SW&D ATM IMO.

Dlester. Keep the ma+ as they are. They look stunning. You'll regret dying them black

ahh well I will leave them be then. Thanks for talking me off the ledge

Dlester - keep them as is. MA+ leather is stunning. If you dye them, there's risk that you'll change the leather structure hardening it as some dye result in.

those are stunning boots!

MA+ footwear has arrived at Atelier- I have images but I don't think I should post them yet. They did not buy the staple boot but they did pick up the hidden placket boot in plain calf/cow- I actually prefer this to the staple boot but I still think Augusta makes the best ankle boot currently...

Harness boot has arrived as well...

They are either AW12-13 or AW11-12 (Japanese Market only). I not sure really. I've heard AW12-13 is a really, really strong collection.
