White’s never boring! ? but you can find alternatives here
You have admit I am entitled to my own view.
Who wears whites shoes?
No one.
White trainers are pain, at best. Dirt is not their friend. Walk around Paris for a day, then you will see what I mean. A brown trainers works OK but still gets killed in Paris. White .... forgettabout it!!

Is the styleforum run separate to the pre-orders available on your website?

Also is it possible to try on models for size in London or pay in sterling?
Hi,

Yes they are different! 2 different projects and different shoes. It is possible to pay sterling and other currencies according to where you're shopping from

Ability to re-sole the shoe would be great.
Since the leather used will last much longer.

This 1000%. The main thing that stops me buying trainers and sneakers these days is their disposability. I am tempted by Crown as their sneakers are resoleable, but I don't really need them right now, at least not for £200. If these were resoleable I would be so much more likely to buy.

They look good on IG so in fantasy they're spotless and stylish.

Hey everyone just to provide an update here.

The survey will be open for another 10 days or so after which the results will be shared and we move into a discussion (the exciting part).

The more opinions we get before discussion the better everything will be so let's try and do a great push for the last part. This is about delivering you all something that will really sit as the ultimate pair of leather sneakers out there - a true community special.

What about the results? We want to know!

Drum roll… the results are officially in!

Thank you all for participating in the survey, we were overwhelmed by the number of responses and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts and feedback as we enter phase 2. We see this as an iterative process, so contributions to the survey are still welcome and will supplement general discussion. Without further ado, below are the 4 most popular design feature combinations that will be made into samples by our craftsmen in Italy. We encourage discussion at this point- once again this is a complete collaboration, so if you think it would be interesting to go a different way or deviate from the original plan we are very open to new ideas!

On the other hand, I do like the options on the suede version. Was hoping the masses would want more from the smooth leather makeups in terms of color.

I think it is a waste to have 3 white on white samples. Only because they are on fashion right now
It’s a real travesty the Kangaroo is offered in white...wth?

I agree. I think a version in another colour would be nice, just to add some variation. I can understand that white won, but if many versions are going to be made, picking a second colour makes sense to me. I have already stated it, but I absolutely dig the anticato tan :p
