These are crazy awesome shoes with attitude. Vanilla nubuck brogues with goodyear-welted air soles. They've only been worn a few times, and are in great shape, with only a couple of very minor blemishes (see photos) on one shoe.
They were a special import by Epaulet in 2014 - I found what they had to say about them originally thanks to the Internet Archive:
Size 11 UK, 12 US. I measure a US 12E on the Brannock device, and these fit me perfectly.

"Here at Epaulet, we're enormous fans of classic ska and punk rock. You're likely to hear bands like the Specials, Madness, the Clash, Wire, or the Buzzcocks whenever you set foot into one of our shops. We ordered this handsome-yet-pretty-freaking tough shoe in that spirit.
Crafted in England by NPS Solovair, the balmoral Country brogue is made in a soft off-white nubuck leather. It has large and bold punches and metal eyelets. The upper is goodyear welted to an authentic "sole-of-air" sole. As a goodyear welted style, this boot can be resoled when needed. The PVC sole is heat-sealed and air-cushioned, and produced to Dr. Maerten's original 1950's specs. A full leather footbed provides excellent comfort and breathability, and these shoes are 100% produced in the United Kingdom from start to finish. "
