ENZO BONAFÉ MTO and GMTO Central

[CrashBurner]

Seems like a vicious cycle, Lorenzo kills you. You kill us. When will it ever end???

....and my lack of gainful employment at the moment means you’re killing me with all these GMTOs. I think this is the most active I’ve seen this thread for new GMTOs. I’ll have to live vicariously through you guys, but great makeups and kudos for embracing the EB madness.

Very nice - we just closed a GMTO which is essentially boot version of the NST shoe, in color 4 hatch grain.

Yes indeed, I'm sure that will be a great make-up. I think the 74945 last works really well with the split toe design (in fact 74945 goes with almost any style and it happens to be a good fit for my feet). These shoes are my first experience with arlington grain from Horween and it's a beautiful leather, still quite different from the more common Horween hatch grain. It clearly has a higher percentage of fat worked in and it seems to like a good brushing. I'm curious to see how it will age.

Here's to hoping for a quick turnaround with employment!

It was hard to picture the boot, so I'm looking forward to the completed design. May have to jump on that in the future. Currently trying to pare down what I have because I've been stockpiling the past few months, haha.

Why is it called Bronze? It looks like a shade of green to me.

I feel like if you get me and @nishant onboard - gmto is basically done. ?

It is actually Old Bronze brownish green a color they use to make and it can look gray to brown green like a dk olive shade

Aww man, these turned out better than expected. Only problem is, it takes forever to get these from the west coast, to me on the east coast...

ha ha .... I know exactly what you mean. I'm counting down the hours to Thursday morning when my Armagnac hatch grain pair should be here.

Good call on the old bronze, it's a gorgeous color. And to top it off, Hatch grain pattern works really well with it.

Yeah, I almost jumped on that one too. After all of the shell colors I’ve collected, still no Armagnac in my stable.
