I’m finally home to see my pair in person. I opened the box and took a quick look and tried on. I’m a 41 in CP 9.5/10 in Nikes. I got a 41 for the SF-01 and these were very snug. I’m sure they will need to be broken in. Also taking a quick glance, my pair does not seem to have the issues that many others have. But this was literally a 10 sec glance at them. More pics to follow. They look amazing, didn’t notice the tongue bridge

Could someone please tell me how the Ghirlandina sneaker cut differs from the SF-01 please? Is the toe box roomier in the SF-01? Is the sole length and shape the same? Thanks.

I wear the same size of Ghirlandina and SF-01, they are based on a similar last but I would say the Ghirlandina are slightly roomier in the toe box (very slightly). Sole length and shape of the new Ghirlandina is the same of the SF-01 (Margom Soles). The Ghirlandina v3 (discontinued) have a similar sole in terms of length and shape but it's not Margom (even though it comes from Le Marche too).

I would say that the Ghirlandina have more a retro look, a bit bulkier and less "clean". I have a High-Top in Suede Beige and they really fit perfectly. We should think about a high-top SF-01...

Why did you change the sole?

The sole we used to use was used by Berluti. We only changed it for the brand name of Margom. They are not really any worse or better.
I ask bc margom does not convince me entirely. I find it too thick

Everyone, just a small announcement that we are going to be closing Naked soon, so if there is anything you wanted to try out or what not. Thought we would let you all know first.

We found a slimmer model from Margom for the sf-02, just going to have to rethink the upper before we make the final sample.
Maybe you could make sample of thrSF with the slimmer sole to see how it looks. Or at least a mock up with photoshop

Do you have a way to do custom sizes on your jackets? ?

I was admirably surprised to feel the excellent quality of the tee shirts i ordered for my sons and for myself too. As I was surprised by the quality, will highly recommend XXX to visit this store
Hahahahahahahaha!!!

Definitely before the end of the month. Most likely by the 12th but nothing set in stone, handed it off to others in the team to make the final call.
Okay, as I want a card holder, but was planning on waiting until my VISA statement comes out which I think is sometime next week, but if it is going to end before then I'll just have to pull the trigger lol
