Mocha Shell Shelby have arrived and they look awesome :)

Just look at the presentation..

And the overall QC and finishing is certainly better than the Bourbons in my opinion..

I’ve been wearing mine for 2 months now. I would say that horizontal stabilizing is lacking but the sole is amazing for support. The sole definitely earned it’s rollingait name. I have the seed colorway and I’m more concerned about ruining the outer suede in an intense hike. I’ve walked trails in them but wouldn’t do anything more. That’s my 2 cents.

Did you size TTS on the sneaker last, or a half size down? I feel like they look so much better on foot when watching the hype video compared to how they look standing on their own.

I agree 100%. I think these shoes work well with tapered pants. I can fit them into streetwear without it looking out of place. Viberg just needs better angles and fits with the shoes. I went half down brannock. Same as 2030. I’m sure I could have gone down 1 full size because I’m a C width. I like wearing them without socks.

Got the DR Mocha Shelby

Can’t tell if the shell is thinner or the liner is but definitely more flex than a regular pair of Viberg cordovan shoes.

I think they look great and the pinking and brogueing are not as pronounced as in the original photos.

The welt is the same ridged pseudo storm welt that trickers uses (the name is escaping me).

Surprised that they used the black Ridgeway soles instead of brown. The natural camel also use black.

Overall really nice.


Added a couple more photos.

The black lining of those shelbys has me all hot and bothered.

Lots of pictures of new boots.

I recently sent my 5 year old pair of SF x Viberg Icy Mocha chromexcels on the 2030 last (@LA Guy ) off to Nick's for a much needed resole. I had the eyelets swapped to match the leather, and the Dainite two piece swapped for a stacked leather midsole with black ripple. He's going to dye the welt a little darker, but these look amazing already, and these boost have held up incredibly well. They have been worn literally hundreds of times, including during heavy snowstorms and hurricanes. Working with Nick has also been great, and I can recommend him without hesitation.
