1st post...let me know what you think of styles. I'm thinking of introducing into North American market.

I'll be constructive on this forum, also. I'm not just going to get some cheesy e-marketing done here.

Hmm, a little too "grungy" for my liking, but the combat boots aren't bad....Is it your brand, or are you planning on orchestrating their introduction to the U.S. for a third party?

Not personally my style...

I don't like them aesthetically either....

Basically what I'm trying to say is they are fucking horrible.

Forgive me?

Donald: You know what you are? You're a self-loathing Jew.

Larry David: Hey, I may loathe myself, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm Jewish.

I could see #3 selling to the Armani Exchange crowd. As for me, not my style...

Looks a little like something that would be hanging knotted across a telephone wire.

I would like the 3rd and 4th one if they weren't quite so trashed

[PeterJ]

I like the number 3.

[grasshopper]

i really like the first 2, though i don't understand what you're doing with the laces on the first one.

i might actually wear the second one (i'm a special case - i can only wear shoes with tons of ankle support)

the 3rd and 4th ones look diseased.

This is the wrong market for your shoes.

Kind of look like some new paul smith shoes.

I like #1 - reminds me of some of the Alfredo Bannister stuff that DJR posted a while back.

The rest - eh.

[nairb49]

Eurotrash comes to mind.

I'm sure the shoes are quite nice, but all I can see when I look at them is a middle eastern guy with a faux-hawk, reflective shades, black "deconstructed" blazer, pink polo with collar up, destroyed flare true religions, U-boat watch and those shoes.

I think you may have missed the boat with those...

These are pretty cool. Where are they made, what's the price range?

There will be a market for these.

[my_sad_valentine]

I like the first style.

[andewhall]

2,3,4 are fooking nice, Id wear them. good work man

I love the combat boots, I'd buy a pair depending on how much they are.

BTW, I appreciate that you're actually going out and saying "this is my stuff, tell me what you think of it" instead of trying to be all "sneaky" and saying "hey guys check out this new brand I just heard of!"

Honesty goes a long way.

[Guest ATS]

Thank you for all the sorts of feedback rcv'd.

Proletariat ,nairb49 : funny, not quite the "crowd" these are targetting. There is a european flavor, and i can see these "crowds" being attracted to these styles, but I dont want these to be available anywhere near where these eurotrashers shop or frequent. Therefore Mr.Seven Religion can and will be avoided, and not associated with my shoes.

Collection consists of 12 soles, making up 45 styles +colours can easily be added. Prices will range from 150-220$ retail. 300$being our boots.USD

Pictures do not do justice to shoes, materials can easily be overlooked.

I'm just hoping these can mesh in with american market and the style won't only be admired by these flipflop-lacoste-seven bros. But at the same time still rcv some mainstreamish(word?) recognition, make sense?

I can post more pics but been LONG day,

much thanks again.

Thats the idea, but you dont have any target market?

It's like when you ask a girl what type of music/food/whatever shes into she just says everything. I hate when they say that, you get no insight.

They are some quality shoes, very fashion forward and I think most people here either like classics or sneakers so your not getting a huge reception, where as maybe on the style forum you would get some more valuable and applicaple repsonses.

good luck

Looks just like Paul Smith. You need a more metro crowd. Everybody here is another tight dry jeans dunks expensive t-shirt and hoodie prick. Take 'em to an up-scale market. But easy on the laces.

[red]

i think theyd look alright if they had a smoother more refined look. but then again that may take away from the essence entirely. are you making them look beat for a certain market or just because you personally like it.

and number one would look pretty good if the laces wherent everywhere.
