Hi all,

Hoping someone here can help me out. I had. Found a great high end retailer during winter but never purchased. Anything from them and I forgot to bookmark the site.

Dedignwise, it was similar to SVD however all the items were listed in one big grid, maybe 8 listings horizontally.
Sold out items had a grey thumbnail and items on sale had a red thumbnail
They had fantastic stock, ranging from carpe to ccp.
Based in Europe, I think.

Guess I was mistsken this is definitely the site though, thank you!

Do you know of any other sites similar to this that are pretty low key?

Anyone have any idea what era or season these tornadoes are from? My best guess is mid/early 2000s but I can’t find much out there to compare them to.

pre 2007. as they don't have the shank on the outside of the sole.

Are these the re-issues? They are listed as "Carpe Diem By Maurizio Altieri"

https://www.yoox.com/us/11697772AM/item#dept=men&sts=sr_men80&cod10=11697772AM&sizeId=&sizeName=

So not exactly. I had these and returned them. The last and zipper are a bit different from the previous side zips. This is made by the company the re-issued the cDiem footwear but they are not a re-issue or the old style they are a new style.

@eckblk and I discussed this before and he can confirm as well since he is the resident cDiem expert.

Is there a difference between original and reissues other than leather quality?

Well if it’s the one in the yoox link those are actually completely different side zips then before.

If you are asking the question of old s21m vs new, then yes seems like it’s the leather.

For the S40M model (backzip boots), from what I've seen they have reissued 2 models, a goodyear and a blake stitch version.

The goodyear version has been modified from the original design. The instep has been raised and the sole is a bit chunkier. They remind me of some of the Jun Hashimoto issued carpe diem boots. I personally would steer clear of this one. Here it is on yoox:
https://www.yoox.com/us/11664340AW/item#dept=men&sts=sr_men80&cod10=11664340AW&sizeId=&sizeName=

the blake stitch model is identical to the original version. daad has one from last fall: https://www.daad-dantone.com/carpe-diem-side-zip-shoes.html
