Interesting how LS is promoting wearing these with a pair of IH Jeans…

"Can’t wait to release this boot. I can guarantee it’s not for everyone, but it’s not intended for everyone. It’s a imitation cap toe on the Trubalance last with a tan wedge sole. We’ve chosen two colors, natural Chromexcel and black regina calf. It’s going to look so great with a pair of Iron Heart jeans…"

Very cool I noticed that as well

[jacoavlu]

it only makes sense as they're being released along with the sexih13 jean  and they have the image of an iron heart pocket with arc and W on the inside of the boot.

I wasn't sure it was public knowledge…

I only know what I read on the internet

Well  then, I don't feel so bad. I erased one of my comments in this thread yesterday as I thought I was spoiling something. Anyhow, there is everyone's "mysterious" answer to the new SE x IH collab jean…

[jacoavlu]

it certainly is public but frankly I don't think most people have taken notice, so much other great denim dropping around here lately

[deadendpro]

i've seen kiya's in person and man, they are some nice shoes. congrats to all who will be picking these bad boys up. def interested, but doubt i will collect enough scratch with so much else requiring attention

looks like the LSxSE joints are only going to be stocked at LSW & LSBH.

at least per this:

that is the truth

[Finn666]

who sells them?
they look pretty sexy tbh…

here´s another pair i saw today...

waxed calf leather, Trubalance last, tan Dakota upper, all around Goodyear welt construction with white stitching, flat brown cotton laces, 9 painted agatine eyelets and a white Vibram outsole.

[derivative666]

Very nice oxfords. Just got a pair of Longwings (tobacco) on eBay for $168. Put new soles and heels on them and they are like new.

[jacoavlu]

I've seen several variations of the plain toe oxfords w vibram sole as makeups for Japan but they're very expensive, like 80000 yen

[lowk]

Any recommendations for a suede boot with plain toe with a sole that has a step and preferably has speed hooks? Can't really seem to find any still for sale in my size (8.5).

[madmonday]

those look better in your flicks than on the needsupply site.  can't say i'm a fan.  lando stop looking at them ugly a$$ shoes & come to your senses.

[Seul]

I think they look good!.. Says it all, Lando!..

Is there a little birdie out there that happens to know whether the Alden X SE boots are going to have speed hooks and if they're going to cost more than half a stack?

[jacoavlu]

both your questions answered within the last month back in this thread
