@Sugar:

Nice Qinhan. My navy sneakers have been shipped from Speedway so now the waiting begins…

Navy was super nice too.  I think you'll be happy with the colour.  It really pops.

Great to see some champ sneaker love, enjoy guys

Great photo Davito. My sneakers turned up at the office this morning. I quickly tried them on and the sizing is just right.

So for what it's worth, I went with my normal UK shoe size (UK9), half a size up from my Alden Trubalance and Viberg 2045 size and a full size down from my UK sneaker size (Vans, Nike and NB in UK10).

Photos soon…

Nice photo, D.  Great collection.

And here we are:

[Finn666]

looking fresh @Sugar Mountain …what size did you went for, compared to your viberg boots?

[Sugar Mountain]

@Finn666 I went a half size up: 8.5 in Viberg, 9 in the sneakers.

[davito]

Very nice @Sugar Mountain congrats, wear em well. If i had to pick only one sneaker out of my collection (there are some more than in the pic) it would be the navy one. The contrast between the navy canvas and the gum is just outstanding. But well never can have enough shoes lol. Super pickup mate.

@Qinhan thanks bro and great seeing your natural champs

Just got mine in the mail today from Self Edge, great shoes!
Went with and 11 and they fit just right.
Hope John decides to do more of these, maybe even some hightops.
Have to say I'm tempted by the other two options now.

[Onairda]

I snagged these off the marketplace (seems a little too good to be true for the price but well see) at size 8

*Only thing is I'm a 8.5 in Viberg Short Shift engineers and 8.5 in Buco's horse hide engineers, Im worried I wont be able to pull these of at a size  8
Anybody have any experience w/ sizing down on the engineers ?

[eyeq8402]

^ with that price I would just cut off my big toe. If they were an 11, I would've snagged em. But at that size I would halfto cut off half my foot.

[Onairda]

Ha!! yeah…. I hope they work out, if not ill be reselling here w/ a $50 discount

[madmonday]

Of course I hope they work for you, but at the same time I'm watching this space . . .

[Onairda]

Yo Obelix came through w/ these…. butter soft and amazing condition
shitty iphone pics but ill get some good ones up soon,,,,,

[Onairda]

the leather on these is crazy….

[mclaincausey]

I haven't seen enough brown Lofgrens in the wild, they look fantastic. Great score.

[Sugar Mountain]

Very, very nice. I don't know if I could get away with engineers but if I could, the Lofgrens would be at the top of my list. Love the shape and the leather.

[madmonday]

Great score @Onairda glad they worked out for you . . . well sort of glad, hahahahaha

They actually look like you could shine them up if you wanted to.  Patiently awaiting more images . . .

[gwillig]

Those boots are absolutely amazing Onairda! And for such a great price!

Also, has anyone checked out ELMC? http://www.elmc.co/shirts-c-62.html

They have some shirts done for them by John Lofgren, a few of them are basically just printless reproductions of the shirts he made for the Russell Southern line, which I thought was really cool. And the price point isn't terrible, I bought a couple for the summer. I just had no idea this was out there, and he makes probably my favorite T-shirts next to RMC, so I thought I'd share!

[Cutlasshound]

Indeed i saw them a while back when they launched and regularly check in to the website from time to time. Be interested to know what they are like. They also had some pretty nice looking engineers…..
