I think I bought this nearly 20 years ago. I bought it at a store that handles Hollywood Ranch Market and Blue Blue. I believe it was a product that remade bags into shoes. Sorry if I'm wrong. The rusty color on the toe area has been there since I bought it. The number 2 is the same. It's been quite a long time, but it's been stored indoors, so it's like new and still wearable. I think it's a very rare item. It's very cool, but I couldn't pull it off, so I'd love for a stylish guy to wear it ♪
