Viberg

@monday:

i think i've seen photos of the Boss wearing a very similar boot but with a vibram sole. . .

Ummmm, those are Vibram soles, aren't they?  Are you talking about the wedge soles from Vibram?

[Giles]

I think he was.  There is a tendency for people to refer the vibram white wedge sole as "the vibram sole"

[madmonday]

yes G you are right I was talking about the vibram white wedge sole on the boots i've spied the Boss wearing.

so i guessed & nothing 

[Giles]

Those boots of Harakis are Red Wing Pecos.  Expect to see an altogether upgraded (Haraki interpretation) version of this style soon….

[jacoavlu]

RW collab?
if so that would mean Viberg, Russell, and RW boot collabs in the works…

This almost sounds like an Iron Heart branded boot….?

[Giles]

No not a Red Wing collab.  I was quite careful how I phrased that post, but obviously left too much room for ambiguity…..

[jacoavlu]

makes sense
thanks for clarifying

[Giles]

oh OK feck it, it's a Viberg…..

[jacoavlu]

hmmmm, G with the loose tongue tonight…. maybe too much red.... wonder what else we could get out of him....

[barun]

please tell me it will be similar to this flat head collaboration…?

[madmonday]

i think jaco got you G, he knew it couldn't be a red wing collab. that company doesn't fit the criteria

i'll just watch this space . . .

[jacoavlu]

haha
you give too much credit
I'm not that crafty
Shoreman, yes
me, not hardly

these are too short to be good in real use, riding a bike. IMO. So good for sidewalk commandoes only.

Actually, I was stone cold sober.

As the samples are not that far from completion, this is the scoop.

Pull on western, vintage oil tan reverse out, round toe.  Doing 2 different sole/heel samples; white Vibram wedge and honey lug….

[madmonday]

sounds promising & worth the wait.

good job jaco 

[riffblaster general]

daaaaammmmnnnn.  that sounds amazing.

[Giles]

Honey lug sole sounds nice.
