Low probability event, but if you get enough people maybe try to convenience AM to do it on Roma line to get cost down (so more people, plus split toe without fiddle back is just fine). Can even default to non patina for starter to get more people interested (else this accent everywhere type patina does feel very Italian which some like and some don’t). Main point is the split, pie crust and with peccary leather.
though definitely low probability, I think AM is pretty set on doing any non standard thing on Argentum HW only, Roma was suppose to be kind “get you in the door more basic” type of thing?
Would definitely be curious if we could get a GMTO going that would even pique Antonio's interest enough for him to consider it.
For instance.....
Model: Centurion
Last: ? (leaning towards a non 606 last)
Upper: Blk Peccary or a Russian Hatchgrain in some Dark color - - Black perhaps ?
Construction: Roma specs
Waist: Standard square pegged
Sole: Double leather OR
Double in front, single at the waist
Optional: toe plates
Not that I am saying I would want the proposed shoe above but more as an example or a reference point.
Were that makeup to generate interest and then Antonio felt compelled to make it, I would certainly be interested in ordering one but only to help the group out. Not because I would want it myself. All for the group's best interests.
