The Lunargrand

Reviews will tell you why the Lunargrand is so damn comfortable and why it is the hottest non sneaker in the United States. The Lunargrand sketches seen below are the actual designs and reasonings behind is extraordinary comfort. The sketches remind me of Tinker Hatfields work on the Air Jordans. The footwear has evolved from a traditional wingtip with exagerated brogue details to a chukka desert boot for the Fall. A Lunargrand Penny Loafer is already surfacing. Just last week, Cole Haan released a set of 2 special edition Lunargrands along with 2 limited Cooper Square Wingtips (see below). Since the last pair that I actually purchased were the original grey with volt bottoms back last year, I had to snag the $288 Lunargrand Waterproof editions in the Pink, Grey, and White colorway. Since I currently reside in Portland, Oregon I had to choose the waterproof editions over the reflectives. Although clubbing and photos would have made me look like a star, I think the pink waterproof are equally amazing. Salehe deserves much credit and hopefully we will be able to see the Lunargrand have a long and successful run.
