ACL comes through with a exclusive look at the new RRL Bowery Boot. "Through my thorough detective work I got my hands on photos of a limited edition pair of bench-made leather boots. As one would expect from RRL, all of the bona fides are present and accounted for. Made in the USA from Horween leather with vintage deadstock Cat Paw heels. The super small quantity (multiple dozens) will be available mid to late August at RRL stores for $750. Rumor is each shop will get a few pairs and that is it.."

More views of the RRL Bowery Boot after the jump.

While i can kind of understand why you'd start this threak, it is, no offense, pretty dumb. How many of you have actually seen this boot in person let alone tried it on? It's like asking which pizza is better and having people judge with pictures.
