I'm not a sneaker guy in general but those in the tan suede are cool!

Top, HUF Dylan Black Perf/Bone White.
Bottom, Aldo Adadorien Sneaker. Not a cool brand, but a cool-lookin' sneaker.

Excellent mail day this week! I am weak for clean, solid white shoes, I finally got my hands on some Converse CT70 Ox Monochrome (and the white Jack Purcell Signature, but the monos have been on every day since arrival). Other all-white sneakers on my list lately are the Nike Dunk Lux High (both the leather and the DSM Ventile), and the some all white DSM/Colette/Barneys exclusive Stan Smiths that I'll never find in my size.  These will do nicely, for now. |

But they're horsehide, and from a manufacturer that you can go read about sizing advice and have a reasonable expectation that what you purchase will fit you. However, someone is likely writing about what a waste of horsehide this is while I'm typing.  |

Marc - which style did you go for? The low tennis. Went back and forth between that and the trainer. |

When I got the email from Epaulet about these the only thing that kept me interested was the fact that they are horse. |

I think it's cool these are also part of a contest to win some shell cordovan sneakers, too. however, the interesting thing is that they're doing horsehide sneakers for less money than gustin is doing chromexcel using the same model. I guess being non-treated maybe the leather is cheaper? |

The chromexcel lows are $249, the tennis low is $245. Chromexcel high is $269, tennis high is $265. Admittedly, though, $4 isn't much, but then G is charging $14 to ship theirs. |

Woah......I didn't even pay attention to how costly those Gustin sneaks are. Yikes. |

These are also tempting. I may go in on the highs.

Most UK trainer shops seem to be running 50% off deals at the moment so I've been stocking up. Had my eye on these for a while and they've just been discounted by £55. Will look forward to wearing these if our summer finally arrives at some point...  |

Also picked these up, Asics 'Made of Japan' GLIIIs. They use Okayama produced Japanese denim in their construction materials.   |

I guess being non-treated maybe the leather is cheaper? I was thinking that them being an established shoe company with working relationships for their materials & labor was more to blame for them being able to price things more aggressively than G. Until I checked this thread this morning, I didn't even know G was doing shoes now (I don't get the emails or check their site now). TBH, I'll gladly stick with established reliable companies from whom I wouldn't expect issues in workmanship, such as Common Projects & the like. Most CP's can be had for 30-50% off if you're resourceful and patient regarding sales & international web-stores. I do not currently own any CP's but they (and their retailers) are quite friendly about refunding, exchanging (for another new pair from inventory, which G won't) or even partially refunding to reflect any defects or issues that may come up in a newly purchased pair. With the flaws inherent to footwear (marked leather, excess/messy glue or stitching, etc), I would never take the gamble on G. |

The sand colourway (above) was my favourite from the GLIII Laser Cut pack. I thought they were too pricey when they came out (£115 over here) but they've hit the sales and can be had for £68 now.
It's certainly very tempting...
