The UPS man should be delivering my Mint Leaf’s today but Ronnie’s giving his cult buyers limited time to rest as his next batch is already in the oven. Currently referred to as the “Leather Back” and no other clues minus the ominous mention of “Kith,” the name of Fieg’s new store I do believe.

mmmmmmm
My mint’s should come on Monday (damn cross-country shipping).
That laser blue sole really sets these off. Thank god we don’t have to deal with that P.O.S. DavidZ server again. That was torture.
these joints look crisp. i can’t wait to see the quality of the leather.
please help me order these when they drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol @ Most
These will be added to the collection
Those are tough. This is my favorite release of his so far this year. Too bad I wear size 14, and will never wear a pair, lol. I had a post written about being into sneakers and having big feet, but I was 100% sure no one would care so I shelved it, lol.
you already know gotty. those joints are mean.
these shits right here son…
I’m going to put the price tag at…$160. that’s my guess.
These are nice. I’m partial to smooth leather over suede. It’s just a more rugged material. It has to take more effort to make smooth leather shoe pop, since it doesn’t dye well like suede and nubuck. I appreciate that.
@ Greg
I’m a 13 I feel you. Certain shoes that look dope in 10.5 look straight stupid in a big size. Imagine the difference between a Lincoln Town Car and a stretch limo.
the fuck all you size 13 fools come from lol?
@BigNate
Not only that, but there are some really interesting brands outside of the big three that stop at size 13, leaving me shit out of luck. All of the collaborations that Vans does immediately come to mind. Most of the Ronnie Fieg shit. A bunch of others as well.
@Greg This has been such a big issue in the shoe game in general for as long as I have been wearing a 13/14(go ahead and toss it out there) I’ve worn this size since i was in the 8th grade. I used to have to go to footlocker and reserve my air jordans ahead of time from the catalog in the store in order to get them. Man, the more people talk about it, the more the problem will no longer be.
@Mostincredible
I pretty much have the same story. Size 14 since I was in 7th grade (I think I was 12 years old). Nike is pretty good about having most shit in big sizes, from Foams to Air Max to Jordans, so I’m pretty well covered, but I’m not one to wear what everyone else is wearing. When your tastes start getting more obscure, the big foot doors start closing. Shit…maybe I should’ve went ahead and pitched the post. I’ma try to see if I can make it into something someone will read this weekend.
Yall Big Foot MF’ers go rock those Adonyle Foyle Nike’s and keep quiet. LOL!!!!
Ronnie does it again….Leather Back Ruuuuuuuh!!!
@Gotty
Surprised the shit outta me too.
Feel your pain Greg, I’m really a size 12.5 but I’m convinced they don’t make shoes in that size anymore, so 13 it is.

=============
Nike makes 12.5′s but they rarely ship them to stores, at least from my limited exp.
Now that i know you fools are all size 13 we have two options
1. Unite and share!
2. walk away and never tell each other about release dates, hookups, etc lol
FYI – David D and MZ are both size 13.
im a big size 13-14 wearin motherfucker and its hell.
sometimes i go to footlocker and leave with my head down thinking “this cant be life”
Damn these are sexy! I’m a size 13 too but getting kicks in my size has never been an issue. Building a relationship with a proper and reliable shoe connect is key to getting the illest sneaks for big-ass feet.
Jawns are jut eghck, disgustingly dope.
I wear a 13 and I’m 5’10″
