Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

[SoCal2NYC]

Jil Sander handmade washed anthracite leather lace ups. The BlackBerry pic doesn't show how great the leather is, I will take better pics when I am home.

Socal2NYC I don't usually like most of your purchases, but those shoes are amazing. I'd be too afraid of damaging the sole to wear them.

And it rained today so I couldn't wear them!!

I cannot stop looking at them.
Wait until you see a clear pic of the leather...it totally ups the ante.

I really like how the laces are covered. Great shoes.

Two pairs of Alden Modified Last shoes plain toe bluchers: One in English Tan and one in Buck suede (probably not real buck).

Buttero work boots that I purchased recently.

According to the JS Handmade thread someone said they strongly feel it's Lattanzi again. I've not had 100% confirmation from the stores.

The writing looks identical to the old Jil Sander handmade (Lattanzi) I would take a bet the same is the case now.

Here you go. The color is grey in sunlight; but, with the flash even has a purple tinge to it...I call it "bruise" lol.

I love the imperfections
