Yes, they are very nice indeed, and that pic really represents the way they look in the flesh, unlike a lot of the other pics I've seen.

Definitely hating you now.

Until I get a pair.

Where did you get them from Wildthing?? Solebox??

---

- dj_wildthing - 23-08-06

Yup, solebox!

The guy that runs the shop, Hikmet, is a truly helpful fella. Definitely a recommended shop!

Hmm.. works out at aboutt £115 delivered to the UK from Solebox.. I'll have a look around at the UK sites, see if I can pick 'em up any cheaper.

They are mighty nice though.. are they a soft leather??

I guess it's kind of a soft leather, but they feel more like soft suede (I assume it's nubuck, hence the name...LOL...).

I don't know how they made the surface the way it is, but it's kind of wrinkly if you know what I mean, especiallyl the tongues feel wrinkly.

I was lucky to get a 10% discount + free shipping on these because the previous pair of SS I bought from solebox got discounted the week after i bought them. Now that's good customer service IMO!

These will be dropping in the UK from the usual outlets.
I'm pretty certain these are not even embossed, I'll bet the larger of my two arses that the leather used is from the wrinkly parts of a cow, around the groin, under the neck, for example.

HAHAHAHA - if you say so



Seriously though, I'm pretty convinced adidas have added the wrinkly part themselves, it doesn't look 'natural'. I could be wrong though...

We'll have to compare a few pairs, side by side.

---

- streak - 24-08-06

Ok.. Wildthing, you bring the shoes.. Pure, you bring the cows groin..
