Which last and models are their most modern designs?
Like the elongated and tapered toes.
Trying to get maybe 3 pairs when they are on sale @ nordy

I would say it is the 0 last. Current models include Boston, Charleston, and Augusta.

Here is the AE description of the 0 last - A more pronounced cone and elongated forepart with a subtly clipped toe create a sleek silhouette

The 0 last best matches your description I think. I own two pairs of the Bel-Air which is on the 0 last and I really like these shoes.

That being said, a lot of people on these forums are not a fan of the 0 last. They seem to say that the proportions are off. I don't agree but I just thought you should know...

huh? I have a few 0 lasts but I wouldn't consider them long or sleek. I thought the one that the Park Ave is on (the #5???) is the narrow one. I find the zero has a rather squared off sides and flat toe.

The #5 is more narrow in the middle than at the toe. The toe is rounded off and not very pointed or sleek.

The #8 last is fairly long and tapered in the toe. As is the last the executive collection is on.
