I actually like them more than the other monks I've seen and can think of a couple ways to wear them. Who makes those? They kind of look like something Acne would do.

^+1 You're all crazy for hating on that sole, makes it miles better than other monks. However, since there's no way I'll find that specific model, I'll settle for regular ones. Navy/black suede ones seem pretty hard to come by though. Anyone ?

(It's Lanvin btw)

Actually, I could see Jil's sawtooth soles doing well in a monk model

I really dislike monkstraps, but there's something appealing about that particular pair.

Grensons are fine on the cheaper end.

The surface to air black desert boots caught my eye... sold out of course. Oh well. not too familiar with the brand, anyhow.
