Definitely don't have to but jordan said they will have a limited amount. And the price is 600-700 and going on sale right in time for fall. So yea I think they will go fast

thought some of you guys would be interested in this!
quoted from sufu:
@rayw44:Current batch versus previous batch of MF Road Champs. The lighter pair is from around 2011 ish, but they may even be from 2012. I can't remember. There are plenty of pleasant changes from then to now.
I love how the color is now a black/brown/purple depending on the lighting. The original pair will be greased shortly since they are getting very dry.

Any thoughts on polishing the OGs with black? I'd like to darken em perhaps, and the evo could be rad.

I used black polish on mine, but it doesn't really stay around too long. Not sure quite how Christophe's got his SOOOO dark as I was notveven coose to the same shade. However in talking with Domingo who runs VEB he relayed to me how he dyed his second pair black and I intend to do this with my first pair as soon as I get them back in my hands from Zip. Glad to know my second pair will be the darker version though
-
Yeah he put a post up on that didn't he?
I like brown. I love black. I super love black with nuances of other shades peeking out as they wear.
-
Love em.

You won't wanna polish them. They are perfect, and pretty dark. Not light brown like the 2011 version , and they are first run which means the have the mister freedom logo on the outside so its pretty badass

Sweet boots. I've never really been into engineer boots, but you all make a strong case. More pics!

Thanks guys. I saw the Pecard rec. may go obenauf's tho.
Finding a trusty cobbler is the next move. Got to get my cats paw half soles involved.

Yep I got both, if LP counts as a conditioner.

No he didnt, there's a blog of his published on the MF site he "greased up several times with neatsfoot oil and polished with BLACK LINCOLN SHOE POLISH"
Take a look… Even the edge of soles were dressed with black polish

Those posts are what I questioned him about. Thise have actuakky been DYED black.He ended up telling me how to do this and saud its tried and true that a lot of marines did this when they still wore the black boots etc. he also did he may post a more thorough step by step in the near future. If you are interested and have questions MCL just throw me a PM. Proceed with caution though as I imagine it could be easy to mess things up.
