What are the specs of those NST boots?

They are the Context Tankers, Barrie, Commando, Black edge trim, 10D

This is the official description from AoC:

"Cigar longwing, Barrie last, double leather sole, 5 invisible eyelets,
pre-stitched reverse welt, 'mid-tan' (light brown) sole edge trim"

I pulled the trigger, anyone else?

Congrats!  Where did you see this.  I wasn't able to find it on the website.  Hope you don't have to wait to o long!

I emailed Adam and asked for a description of both offerings too. That's exactly what he wrote back to me for the cigar offering. The ravello offering has the same details as the cigar.

Here is my best guess of what the upcoming AOC cigar LWB will look like based on the info we have. I do think the cigar will be even darker though because most of what we have seen recently reflects that.

I interpret this photo as my NY shoe exactly, only taken in close proximity to the flash of the camera, where I do not use a flash ever in my pictures.

BN,
Enjoy your trip, I'm envious! Good footwear choices. I love Spain and happen to work for a Barcelona based company. I wish I had more opportunity to visit. My wife and I went to Barcelona a couple of times now. Enjoy the jamon iberico de bellota. I can't get enough of it.

I lived in Cantabria for two years, Austurius for 6 months and now spend 8-10 days per month in Galacia

I'm relocating for the summer with my family, and this will be our view most evenings...

One of these times when I pass through Madrid I need to stop in on Carmina...

That's from a while ago, no? Context doesn't have any NST listed

Really tough winter had created lots of big dunes on the beach, so the city uses earth movers to essentially grade the beach... Pretty cool actually.

They are new - somebody posted that Context moved their Floor Stock into inventory for internet sales.

I contacted Context and was told they keep floor and internet inventory separate so that people walking into the physical store can see product and buy it.

They just happened to have one pair of 10Ds - and I grabbed them, pure luck.

C'mon man...I finally decide on the Cigar and you have to post this?! Beautiful!

That is like Ravello from 2010. It's not going to look like that.

CIGAR

 

[ironclad]

did some weekend mac method on my pair of Brixtons that desperately needed some TLC. These are about 3 years old now (I think) and I've worn them at least once per week since I bought them. After some quick brushing and buffing, they look (almost) good as new. Clear examples here of why #8 is still king:

One of my favorites, also happened to be my first pair of cordovan Aldens.
