Material: Cow leather. Cow leather reverse. Original retail price: ¥168,000. This item is a reproduction model from around 2017. The "destroy" finish is achieved by repeatedly applying wax to the suede side (reverse side) of the cow leather by hand, giving it an appearance that could be mistaken for top-grain leather. The quality and atmosphere of the early models are very good, but even the black versions often have green or purple undertones, and there is considerable variation between individual pairs. Also, the stitching was often loose, and the soles and uppers would come apart, or the leather near the inner heels would detach. The reproduction models tend to develop a brown hue with wear, making them very easy to coordinate with black items. Furthermore, although about 8 years have passed since their release, the reproduction models rarely show sole separation or insole peeling. A minor detail, but the silver plate attached to one side of the sole is also designed not to come off. 【Size】 Marked: 43 (approx. 26.5cm in Japanese leather shoe size) Total length: approx. 31.9cm Maximum width: approx. 11.7cm * Please understand that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. The person in the wearing image is the seller, a 175cm tall male. Condition: USED ※ The color tone of the left and right boots is slightly different from the new condition (the right one has a stronger brown tone). ※ In 2024, Vibram half soles were applied to the toe area of the soles, and Vibram rubber was applied to the heels. Since then, they have been worn quite a bit, so there is some wear on the soles (the heel rubber may need to be replaced soon), but I think you can continue to wear them for a long time. Signs of use and minor scratches are visible. Please forgive any oversights. Only one item available, first come, first served.
