As well as these are selling, has there been any talks about future runs, and future runs in color variations (At least, all black)?

I received the Indigo almost three weeks ago but I just got home couple days ago LOL.
Ordered size 7 (using the measurement chart) and they're perfect fit, with thin socks.
Just for reference, I wear Red Wings Linemen, Beckmen, Iron Rangers, Oxford all size 8, except 9877 & 875 size 7.5.

Haraki asked me if I wanted to rerun the indigo last week.  I  said that I would tell him in a few weeks when retailers had seen how they did for them….

I'm not usually a sneaker type, but I love these. I sized them in inches, normally in the US I would wear an 11, but the UK equation of that is a 10. I have a wide foot and high arch, and can't lace them as nicely as Barcley did, but none the less, I like them.

Looking good @Roman. Surprised you say you're not normally a sneaker man as they look great on you

Couldn't resist .. dammit! ….. aaaaaand Gotcha!

Avowedly - at first, I was a bit sceptical about the 'IH-Sneakers project'.

Fact is: they're sublime!
Supercomfy ( I love all my 70's Chucks - but this is another level), the workmanship is top-notch and the look is great.    …........  Domo Arigato - H. san

How did you size compared to your CT 70s?

[Finkster]

^ same size - UK 9.5

.. and drooling for more colours  ::)      ::)

Pretty sure we will not do these again (in any colour).  Margins were really tight anyway, then they cost a lot to ship from Japan and then a lot to ship to end users (lots of wasted space in a sneaker box).  Believe it or not, in Europe, because we have to give 20% of the retail price back to government for VAT, we probably made a loss on every pair sold.

Do you think you guys won't end up doing the high tops based on the lack of profits on the low tops?

They'll likely go ahead.  I won't stop H from doing them and he does not have the same cost challenges as we do (all his sales are within Japan), so he has no reason not to do them

[Paul9221]

Thanks for letting me know.

Now that I know you're losing money on these, I don't feel as bad for not picking up a pair

We will lose more money if they don't get bought

[manufc10]

welp…guess I better snag a pair sooner than later now.

Sad news - but understandable.
Pity! .. no brown duck coloured sneakers with black rubber soles in the future.
