And not related to footwear, but the first F1 race of 2020 is March 15th!

I guess depending on timezone, this is an excellent start to 2020!

It's already 2020 somewhere on the planet, although where I am it's still 2.5 hours away.......

Random rant: I'll be moving tomorrow while many of you are hungover. So I'm allowing myself one beer before I wake up early and get to moving my stuff. I have all my shoe boxes ready, of course. Wife and I are going to rent an apartment for 1-2 years until we find a home we want to buy. On a big positive note, I won't have to drive to work anymore. I really hate driving on the busy freeways in Los Angeles.

See you all on Thursday.

Good luck on the move, have done it a few times in my life, my advice (although it's a little late) hire it done.

We did. I am moving my shoes, as I don't trust the moving guys.

Funny, when we moved in here a few years ago, I moved my shoes/clothing myself for the same reason. Let the moving guys move the heavy stuff, I will move the important things

Does anyone here live in, or near, Austin TX? Just put my name in for Formula 1 tickets weekend of October 23-25 2020, and if anyone on this thread is near, would love to meet up that weekend.

Good luck! Moving just to move again in a year or so must be frustrating. Here's to finding your dream home!

Onto the new thread as we just hit 2020 on the east coast...

May this be the year of great grail finds, trunk shows, and plenty of horse booty

Anyone up for a trivia challenge to start off the new year?

I've meticulously and only slightly drunkenly prepared a set of seven extra-spicy Strand-related trivia questions that only a true Strand fanatic is able to fully complete.

To the first weasel who answers every question correctly in a single post I'll send a $50 Allen Edmonds gift card. I'll also bestow upon this person the prestigious title of Strand Baron, along with all the lands and holdings that come with this title (literally just the gift card). I'll post the answers if no one rises to the occasion by Sunday evening.

1. The Strand was released in three different colors of calfskin when it was reintroduced for the second time. What were these colors and their model numbers?
2. How many different colors has the Strandmok 2.0 been sold in? What are they?
3. The October 2013 Strand Webgem came in a peculiar leather. What was this leather, and how many variants of this webgem were there?
4. This Strand was also one of the very first Allen Edmonds' shoe to come with a Dainite sole. What is its model number?
5. Two different Strand variants have been sold with an oiled leather sole. Which two are they?
6. How many different "OG" Strandmoks have come with a Gumlite sole? What are the colors of their midsoles?
7. Two pairs of two Strands share the same model number. What are these two model numbers, and which two Strands does each number represent?

Flattered to have made the list. Great start @BFT9000 !

Wow, now those are some great trivia questions.

A little sloppy today so taking out the Pattons. I am pretty sure that these are more brown than grey but still interesting.

Thanks for starting this year’s thread.
I was surprised to see my white nubuck McAllisters and not my chili shark Belmonts.

Happy New Year Gents!
and
Kudos to @BFT9000 for an inclusive thread launch, a great idea for this place.

Please stop posting these until they can be had in my size. That is all.
