Wow, it took less than 48 hours for the PLUS20 Sullivans to arrive via standard (free) shipping. They only had to travel ~100 miles, but still...

Those are nice, tick all my boot boxes, brown or tan-check. Cap toe- check. Speed hooks-check. And only48 hours to arrive, that is excellent.

Nice. I really like those, just wish they had a real cap toe. The faux line just looks off to me, otherwise I would own a pair.

In person it looks better than in photos. I still consider them a "cap" toe boot.

Brown shell Strands, Spier and Mackay everything else. Plus a photobomb.

So is the Camo just painted on? I wonder if each pair is different, or is it a stencil. For AE's sake, I hope they sell a few, but I have a feeling we will be seeing them on ShoeBank in a few months. A Snuff Suede HM would have flown off the shelf and all the boot guys here would own a pair. I don't see that happening with Camo, a few of us will purchase but Snuff Suede would be so much better.....

Cute kid.

Thanks she’s got Grandma’s personality. Our daughter believes it’s payback!

I’ve been thinking about, contemplating and ruminating on how I feel about these:

I wanted so, so badly to hate these. I’ve ****-talked camo more than a bit. As a general rule I hate “ironic” cynical uses of camo.

I should hate it; it’s everything I shouldn’t like all in one boot. But I don’t hate it. In fact, I like it, and I find that I like it a lot.

First, it starts with a legit boot, with legit soles. Second, from the pictures, it looks well executed.

Last, and most importantly, it’s (excuse my language) ******* badass looking. It’s absurd and over the top; this isn’t camo for the 90lb ironic spaghetti armed Williamsburg hipster, this camo for dudes loaded with awesome levels of toxic masculinity (OH YEAH bitchaz). The only way these could be better is with a steel toe.

So yeah, I want a pair of these. I dunno what I’d wear them with, but I know I’m wearing them to the range or skeet and trap shooting or maybe even a mosh pit (lulz). They’re hold my beer level stupid... and that makes them awesome.

Now if you tell me you are a member of Hudson Farm and then you go on to say that you would wear the Camo HMs there, I either respect the hell out of you or hate you, I can't tell which...

I only have eyes for the Sullivan. Does it look lighter to anyone else? Maybe just the display lighting, but also maybe released in the new brown?

I like the contrast they are getting on that light brown Sullivan Street.

I know the Higgins Mill is the SF darling, but that camo version is horrid. My apologies if I offend anyone. I usually keep my negative opinions to myself, but that's a big miss for AE. Ok, wooosahhh!

+1 on this (horrid boot that is)

These are tempting.

These are not.

I envision a scene similar to xavier & magneto, where you make that comment and profila says, "If you find one, ill be there to get it first, old friend."

Not his size. I got them anyway, so we don’t have to worry.

St. Hubbins, you are so on point here. I don't know if I will shake my head or laugh if, or when, I see a pair of Camo HM's in the wild.
