With the caveat that the lighting of the pictures may not be true to life...both these shoes are noted as Parisian Brown Museum - could there be such a difference in shade from one shoe to another? The bottom shoe is what I always imagine Paris Brown Museum, the first picture seems quite dark for Paris Brown Museum - comments appreciated.

The two pictures aren't really comparable. The difference is primarily a result of the location of the flash in each photograph. The flash is closer in the second photo, washing out the dark shades in the shoe.

The second photo captures the mottled look of the antiqued leather, though the first is closer to the colour, I believe. It is a truly beautiful leather!

The second pair are also Rejects, and may not be fully finished ... But (as mentioned) in general the flash and the difference in angle and proximity would account for the apparent difference..
