What shoes are these? Tramezzas? They look great in the pictures but I would have a hard time finding an outfit to match without calling much attention.

For a black shoes, the last and shape matters even more and G&G lasts are sublime.

those look pretty sweet, but I can't help but think that one pair of black shoes (which I bought under advisement from my girl) is enough. now brown...

Agreed, and Koji Suzuki ain't bad either!

BTW: For those of you that really know. Does KS really have a waiting list of a couple of years or supposedly, "a waiting list for his waiting list?".

In my experience with the kind of people that afford things like KS shoes, they don't wait two years! Am I wrong?

Those shoes redefine the old adage; "One you go black you can never go back."

I'm sure the craftsmanship is outstanding, but they don't really float my boat aesthetically.
