most people haven't seen it in person and it doesn't sit or look like a sack like the leather on shoebox's gats

Exactly... doesn't look like a "nutsack" when you're wearing the shoe, it looks like a pocket and it coheres perfectly and balances everything out. Astros would look awkward without it.

While I think a gray would work better than the beige, the blue on those Lanvins is the most beautiful color ever

A navy with those blue accents would kill too

SQ, I got my mixed leather high tops last week and can barely lace them to the very top. Did you replace your original laces with longer ones? If so where can I get a pair.

D'oh, I just noticed that. I actually re-laced them criss-cross style when I got them. I'm lacing them back now.

No difference...I think I'll call the MMM store in LA tomorrow to see if they carry longer laces. I'd hate to have to swap these out for longer skinnier laces.

Typically, one length of laces are used for several different sizes of shoes. Once you go high/low enough, the laces used will be shorter/longer. You could very well be on the high end of the range that uses X length laces, and the next size up may use longer ones.
