I want shoes that look similar to these (including color) that are either (1) better quality than cole haan, or (2) cost less than $300. I don't trust Cole Haan for $300.

Matching the oxblood is hard. More used to that on longwings. Couple of Meermin things that aren't quite there. https://www.meermin.es/en/10145511520000se-52-101455-expresso-antique-calf-e-expresso.htmlhttps://www.meermin.es/en/10152010100000se-10-101520-burgundy-calf-e-burdeos.html

I can’t get comfortable with the whole high end, handcrafted small batch leather sneaker thing no matter how much I stare at the pics (Greats, Koio, etc). The styles just don’t compute to me.

Something I really despise about luxury brand sneakers "inspired by" famous kicks/streetwear
