. . . and why the hell not? 

[Giles]

According to the tracking info, the IH/Viberg collabs have arrived.  Simon is popping round with his camera (and I hope not his swag-bag)…..G

[Geo]

oh hell . . . might be cancelling holidays on an affordability issue

[hectic]

Looking forward to those pics!

indigo and super black? ???

[madmonday]

Both of these are really NICE -imho-

8"SHORTSHIFT BOOTS (#87)

&

6" BOBCAT (#36)

hoping I can get one or both pairs Iron Heart powered 

[Giles]

The plan is to do a Water Buffalo short shift.  Simon popped around last night, found the Viverg parcel and took some pics.  I'll let him tell you his thoughts, but def, the IH tab, needs to be rethought position wise:

[Simon]

I've never actually seen any Vibergs before in the flesh, I can't
believe how heavily built these things are!! The quality is awesome, great
Norwegian welted design, the black Buffalo and blue 21oz denim is a nice combo. Personally
I'm not a big fan of the sole, I'd rather see something with a heel? I would like to have taken these for a test drive around the IH store room to give you the full report, but my feet are a tiny Sz 7 and these samples are a Sz 10    Seriously great boots, I need to stat saving!

[Jii]

I'm totally over the moon with my short shifts, they're so comfy and look great. And they just ooze the kind of quality which tells me these will be around for a long time.

[jimmy]

that looks really good, much better than i thought it would to be honest.

same here.

@Giles:

do you really need to have that tab at all? you never really see a good quality foot wear with
it's name branded on top/out side. also there is something happening with the top stitching around the opening.

wears quickly and not the best grip

Is there going to be a superblack version?.. I don't like the 2-toned look of it…

Yeah - read that, just wasn't sure you were gonna go ahead with it… Can't wait for pics of that version...

[jbphoto23]

Giles, hope you don't mind me messing with those photos and moving the position of the iron heart tab..if so let me know and I'll take it down..
but I think this may be a good option for the placement.

Any idea on the cost of the superblack version?

[jacoavlu]

I like most everything Iron Heart does, but I can't get into these.

Super excited to see what comes from the (oh so far off) Russell collab.

[Giles]

No idea on pricing yet,  will let you know as soon as I do.  G

Alright, sweet. I will be ordering these no matter the price though.

[Seul]

Is it really 2-toned or are the leather pieces and tongue also blue?..

jbphoto: I would put the tag in the exact same position (although I'd discard of it altogether).
