Thanks so much for the Feedback, I knew I could count on everyones support here.
A couple things:
I'm definitely concerned about ink bleed. My neighbor recommended a suede spray. I'm gonna pick some up. But it doesn't rain much here in LA so I'm not too worried.
I was torn about whether to make the Puma Stripe green or keep it white. I was 50/50 but ultimately decided on Green because I was concerned about the white getting dirty. With the ink, White suede would be impossible to clean and quite frankly, it was already starting to look a little dingy.
I will definitely be rocking them... but only when I'm in for a change from Supes.
A question for the group...I thought long and hard about this but ultimately decided not to continue the Brick pattern on the lace strip and to keep it solid grey... Should I keep it solid grey, or continue the pattern as I did on the heel strip?

Sweet job Farmer
A totally unique pair!
I'm with sk8 on keeping the lace strip as it is, I reckon keeping it grey helps the laces to stand out a bit.

Well done Farmer. Very nice! I actually like how you have made the wing green...it looks sort of incomplete being white.
Can't wait to see you do a pair of soops!
Oh- I would keep the lace strip gray as well.
