I assume for, but I am with Kobayashi-san tomorrow, so I will double check

[madmonday]

so what do you really think simonc?

hahahahahaha

[demonito]

fucking expensive but quality is top notch better than any handmade pair out there

Made for Flat Head.  But is is no different from most of their stuff, it is made in outsourced workshops that subcontract to Flat Head.

Thanks G.  Figured but would have been (even more) interesting otherwise

They look great - not sure if I'd want to pay THAT much but crazier things have happened

I was admiring those very boots the other day on Rakuten whilst seeking out some black leather FH sneakers. They look even better in your pictures and a bit lived in.

Hi thx much. the FH sneakers looking good and interesting too. yeah these boots are built like a tank. I own three horsehides from diff brands and the fh are probably the toughest leatherwise imho. I do not baby my shoes but do also not trash a boot at this price range, they need time to break in and I have quite a rotation. So I should be set for a lifetime
I am wearing them about half size bigger with insoles and thick socks and I like the comfort they are giving me. Meaning I took em in my usual TTS and could have gone half to one down due to the toe box. But I do not like my toes touching the front in a shoe when walking especially not with a leather like in these guys.

I am still admiring very much the deer skins maestro G is wearing. maybe this puppy will be another target for my birthday like the horse was a gift from me for my last years bday

Paula has 2 pairs of the leather sneakers if you would like me to post pics.

The deerskins are amazing.

[davito]

[mclaincausey]

the FH sneaks look feckin amazing OOTB and even better with evo.

[Giles]

That's not gonna make waiting any easier. Nor is using Japan Post's inscrutable tracking system!  It looks like they fucked up the address but we'll see.

[davito]

Thx much mclaincausey and G for the pics, very cool sneakers and quality looks amazing. I assume they kinda behave/feel similar like the vintage made in USA chucks?

[mclaincausey]

Similar construction, so that is my expectation. Stay tuned, should be arriving in days.

[rwing]

Indeed this shoes looks amazing, can't wait to have distributors inside south east Asia

[mclaincausey]

Mis preciosos…

Frisbee by way of Rakuten got these here in a hurry.

Feel like leather Chucks. No surprise there given the vulcanized construction.

[grandmasterben]

Damn those look sweeeet! How you liking them so far?

[mclaincausey]

I loves em and can't recommend them enough.  Rakuten still has some (the SNK-01), but they seem to be running out of "Western" sizes.  I am normally a 9.5US and these 9 have a bit of room, so be sure to check measurements.  It's basically like wearing Converse, but with an unusual look.  The leather is nice and supple.  I just love the stitching and the diamond inserts.

They make a white/red diamond and a red/black diamond version too.  The store I hyperlinked, FRISBEE, shipped as promptly as can be expected on Rakuten and they were very careful to make sure they addressed it correctly (amazing penmanship on the shipping label )
