AKM Cowhide Rear-Zip Boots (brand new in box)

[kyee87]

Hey guys,

I have a brand new in-box pair of rear-zip boots by japanese label AKM. They're black distressed cowhide, and zip all the way down the back w/ black riri zippers. Color is black, but is lightly distressed along the toebox and heel. They're brand new, unworn, I just got them in from Japan like 5 mins ago and tried them on for like 30 seconds, but knew that they were too tight to keep them. Flawless condition - new w/ tags, even the box is new.

Size is "M", which fits about a 25-26.5 cm foot. Total length is 30cm. My foot is about a 44, but these are definitely too tight for me. I think these would fit a 42, perhaps a 41.

In case you're unfamiliar with AKM, it's is the luxury line of WJK, which was started by Jun Hashimoto after working for Maurizio Altieri of Carpe for a few years. WJK is the current distributor of CDiem laceup boots in Japan, and the owner has a close relationship with Maurizio Altieri. It is often grouped with Carpe Diem in Japan, and with their leather pieces sometimes hangs alongside C.Diem at some stores. AKM produces some pretty wild pieces, like $6300 shearling & mesh flight jackets, and even a $7500 bear shearling jacket....replete with 925 silver hardware, Riri zippers, etc. They're basically the high-end line of wjk, and is priced accordingly so.

I'm selling these boots for $500 + shipping. I got an awesome deal on these, and would love to pass this deal on to someone else who can fit them, without making any profit on it. I would love to keep these but they're too small.....someone should grab these quick because AKM is not sold stateside, and they do sell for much more. These boots are also sold out in Japan. Here's some pics:

Thanks!
