O____O nylon highs.....

[kunk75]

kyle, they weren't sold out-they never had. got there at opening anb biggest was 45.

seem to be cut a bit bigger this season maybe. i copped the white highs. should def fit you.

called in 15 minutes ago, which was 12:15 DEN time and they were all sold out of 46's in the hi-tops.. So, I copped a 45 in black patent. Hopefully they will fit.

[Egpt]

pls post pics of the new drops!

[touchthesky]

^^^yeah I'm really interested in what new things they got too.

[onemancult]

i overslept after partying last night. what's up with all this.

[kunk75]

nothing outlandish. the bb highs in charcoal grey were really nice, as were the nylon boots, though at $330, i think they're a bit overpriced. don't seem like they'd hold up.

dress shoes are improved this season it looks like-seem a bit more versatile.

had court-shoe mids and lows/courts in a lot of colors. if any were store exclusives, i didn't notice and forgot to ask joey.

kunk that is good news that 45's fit you. Can't wait to get my pair and be able to flaunt tight patent leather sheen on my feets

[kunk75]

word to the sheen.

[n3xu5]

i got home @ 8am & blew it too...was it a packed house at opening/?

i was told they dont have the grey suede hi's, which blows it too...and i doubt the odin on lafayette has them. i'll still pass by and see what they have though.

[kunk75]

no, i was the only asshole there at 11:45. i was a bit surprised that some of the hard to find stuff, i.e., grey suede and silver highs, wasn't there.

really, the best thing about it was having them all in one place as opposed to trolling 4 stores to see some variety.

if i wouldve been a responsible person, we wouldve been two assholes there @ 11:45...

& they say being irresponsible is a bad thing.

They seem to run a bit smaller (ie: truer to size) this season. Still sort of long and narrow, but a 42 was too big for me (and I'm alwasy a 42 or 42.5) last season, and this season it fits perfectly (except a little extra toe room). That's the sneakers at least. The dress shoes fit really weird (full size large at least).

Also the leather seems nicer/softer than last season.

den exclusives were distressed dessert shoe, blue n red court lows. and they had almost every shoe in an amazing redish grey with a dark grey sole. i think.

a SA told me that they weren't making grey suede highs anymore and that they were pretty limited to begin with.

[Egpt]

seriously, no one took pics?

kunk, i am highly dissapointed with you!

[kunk75]

i had to get back for a wake. sorry the pics weren't a priority.

going back monday or tuesday. i'll snap some.

[joey_formal]

shitty picture on my blog of the store. as for some of the stuff people are looking for, whats in den is every single thing that will be produced for f/w 08 from common projects.

[kunk75]

only real lament for me was no strapped highs which i didn't necessarily expect but woulda been cool, and no dress boots in leather. still, lots of choices of color, material, etc.

[onemancult]

i have grey suede his, are they really all that rare? got them from barnseys for a bill and 10. lols.

haha i remember when we were talking like a day or 2 after you got them. you weren't even sure if you would wear or flip them. they also had few pairs at bloomingdales for like $139 sitting there forever.

[israel]

im digging these ones:

[MrBurns]

There are dress boots in leather. Chelseas and Chukkas.

[kunk75]

i more meant proper boots, like boot versions of the dress shioes.

[djonno]

hm, more versatile dress shoes sound nice. need to see some photos.

Common Projects...

smooth, wearable, monochromatic and extremely over priced.. i don't think they were considering the drop in our economy.. good thing Japan is a good customer

[kunk75]

i actually think they're fairly reasonable in terms of price, all things considered. my first pair are pretty old and look about as good as they did when i got them.

[b.e-n]

i am in paris right now. i will be back in new york on the 25th. do you think that den or odin will still have the desert boots or will they be sold out?

[down4nyhc]

for the amount of time you can wear these shoes they're much more reasonable than a lot of other stuff in the same price range.

there's also a new brand coming out of the same factory called ambassadors. from what i saw the shoes are similar to cp's just made out of more lux leathers. not much to be found on the net so far though.

any info out there would be appreciated.

[onemancult]

where the fuck you been dude.
