He meant that it looked like there was alien brain matter all over the shoes because of how funkadelic the dying is.

I saw these in Wilkes Bashford today. The green antiqued color is quite nice. Maybe not as versatile as black or brown but when worn with other earth tones and jeans they would make quite a statement.

Those shoes are sick. My Bontoni's are easily my favorite and most comfortable pair of shoes. I wish I had another pair so I didn't feel like I had to baby them as much :). Nice pick up.
