Rough pic of the Red Wine Allen from the factory on the last
I am attempting to stay on top of these updates for those of you who are following along. A couple of days ago I posted the mock drawings for the Oak, Rust and Night Denim versions of the Allen. I added another color last night at 2am in the morning. Yep I was up that late working… Let’s call it a fit of inspiration, but I decided to do something crazy with my manufacturer. I don’t really wear loud colors but the final Fall 2012 colorway of the Allen will be Red Wine. I am still finalizing the details, but here is a very rough picture of the shoe from the factory. Let me know your thoughts. I won’t make many of these at all. I will also change the material to canvas instead of denim. Then again, I am open to suggestions.
Stay motivated Fam!

I am diggin the shoes you have devloped they look very upto date.
dont give up on the denim. just spread the work and get some artist sponsor and talking about the products. then raise the price on every one. lol
aslo the logo on the header would look dope on the side|back | or tonge of the shoes.
the arch by itself in a box is missing something to me.

Thanks for the comment. It isn’t really giving up as much as it is an active business decision. The growth is in the running shoes right now since they are selling. I appreciate the feedback, and I agree, I love the Suede & Denim shoes, but they simply aren’t gaining any traction at all. The logo is the actual logo so the ARCH inside of the box is all one logo. The logo on the header is for the apparel and is actually a woven label. The Suede & Denim is all about an understated, subtle approach and the big logo would take away from the simplicity. It’s good to know that people are actually watching. Good luck on your venture with OEM as well.
