Yuketen's fall collection is getting ready to start landing with the short list of stockists and there is one model on the top of my list. This 6" suede extension of the bucks come in sand, navy blue and white and look incredible. I don't think this shoe is going to be for everybody, but I would happily invest in any three of the offered colors, the hard part will just be tracking down a pair. I would probably go with the sand and navy first, as they would withstand the dirty fall grounds a little better. The sole is a great choice, the height is perfect and the simple cut, tonal eyelets and colorful lining top off one of my favorite shoes this fall. Apparently Opening Ceremony will be stocking this model so hopefully they arrive sooner than later, I know I've been checking the website regularly. No word on the price either, but I would imagine it will fall around $350-400 at retail stateside.

I was in Tokyo last week and saw shoes\ boots like these all over town. I think all of you guys will be in heaven if you visit Tokyo. For me, I didn't spend much, especially after paying 4 round-trip tickets from Toronto.
I was in opening ceremony a week or so back and couldve sworn i saw these. I saw another pair with a really weird sole as well.
Those look pretty sweet. I love the print on the inside, nice touch.
Can these shoes handle rain? I'm not an expert on suede shoes, but they look very, very good.
You can use Suede protectant, but for the most part the material is never rain friendly and even with Yuketen's quality(the "bleeding" problem they admit to hasn't affected any of my products) it probably wouldn't be the best idea to take these things out for a stroll during a shower.
I had the same issue when I was trying to find the Virgil Boot, I waited months for the Kangaroo Leather to pop somewhere. Bless you, Yahoo Japan.
^ben - can you confirm that? Apparently they are the only North American stockist getting these I would love to know what color they have and what the price is.
Thanks

Love the red sole. looks of top notch quality.
that is a beautiful shoe and one i'll be keeping my eye on...the sand would do me wonders...
