You’re clearly leading a far more interesting life than I am.

Weather dropped enough to nab one of the few pairs of boots I hadn't put into summer storage. No complaints here.

Still in the 90’s this week, but rain is finally on the way.

Taking advantage of a Monday to start the week off right from the dentist chair. At least doing it in style with the bone Maritimes.

Funny enough, they seem to match the color of plaque. 😅

Mahogany calf and green suede McAllisters.

 

[ProfilaBinding]

No reason, just wanted to wear watermelon shell.

You’re in the 90’s? Have some Mark Morrison:

(P.S. I wish you hadn’t said that about the color of those Maritimes. Now that’s all I see.)

Yeah… those are way cooler than they have any right to be.

 

[Shoenut]

A little more shaved Shell today.

Just a Monday

Bought these about 16 years ago, made a storage box and tucked them away. I've never worn them. Forgot about them actually, until I came across this collage I made it the time for my Google photos (called Picasa back then) account. A custom order maybe? Don't think anything like this was ever made in mass amounts.

 

[Shoenut]

The 333 last just feels very constricting for some reason.

 

[ProfilaBinding]

I change sole edges like I change underwear. Back to black for the Cambridge.

Yellow and Fawn Shell Suede BroadStreet’s? Yeah, I’m going to say that’s a 1 of 1 pair.

There were “special” low-volume BroadStreets, like this pair of Black and Bourbon Calf:

Or this special version of the Broadstreet, The Olympiad, designed for the 92 US Summer Games Olympic Team (Oak Aniline Calf and White Nubuck):

(Yes they’re NOS, and I still haven’t worn them… because I just go all Gollum every time I take them out of their original box and factory packaging.)

Anyway, those are a couple of rare BroadStreets. Your pair doesn’t even look like something you could get from the old MTO program (but maybe I’m wrong). I’m going to say they’re unique. I’d love to see more pictures of them.

If we apply that metaphor to me, then the edges on this pair of Polos is… concerning:

Really liking the Broadstreets you showed, your own I presume?
