Sk8 found them at a place called Mr. R Sports, a small chain in Miami. Phone orders only, I believe. The shoes are quite nice. Unfortunately, quality on this particular pair is not tip top. Both shells have a "melted" quality about them. Allow me to put my Rob hat on for a moment. 
You can see the distortion on the ridges of the shell on the right here. There's also some glue on top of the shell on the left that's not wanting to come off:

Looking from the front, the shell on the left is kind of bent upward:

Anyway, I'm not gonna sweat it. I guess it gives them "character" but for $115 US you kinda want them perfect, ya know?

Mr R's is a good spot. I go there about twice a month. They always have a nice selection. I almost picked the orange vins up this weekend, but some diamonds fell into my hands..
Take your eyes and your mind off all that wackness, and focus on the dopeness, yo, ’cause beyond your worries about the past and projections of the future, there is a ton of dopeness in this moment right now.

Postie dropped these off today!
Big thanks to IHB, thought I had missed out on these.
Super scared to wear them though! I now see what all you meant by dirt magnets!

@Tifoso: the distortion of the ridges would make me crazy 
One shell bended upwards is something I have on my vins as well, that doesn't bother me.

Tif, a cotton bud with tiny bit of acetone and that glue should come off without messing up the toe.
Infinity, I pondered too long on those threeways and missed out, Waiting for the CT price to drop and drop again, no joy tho. Very nice mate.

Great new additions 
@Tifoso Seems to be the new shell "quality" on those vins. Saw some BBU's at No6 with a shell that looked similar, maybe worse.

Very Nice pickups one and all
Have to say though Tif I'd be sending them back or at least contacting the shop that sold them and trying to get some money back!! I couldn't live with them like that and would be seriously pissed off after splashing so much on them to then turn up like that.

QC fail on those, Tif. Like the colourway though! Pretty jealous of those Plants, Benj. Always wanted them.
Thanks to a big heap of help from OlSkool720, these will finally be gracing my feet:

Yeah, I'll call the shop today and maybe forward the pics to see if I can get a discount or something.
Awesome plants, Benji! Lorrie, those are stellar! I've been looking for them.
Inphinity, try and wear them with non-denim (or very faded denim) pants if you can. It'll save you some heartache later.
