Finally managed to track a pair of these down in Burgundy
I'm really pleased with them , with the Lunarlon sole they are quite comfortable.

Chuck Taylor Made In Maine Guide Boot.
Due out tomorrow. End Clothing will be carrying them in the UK.

I kinda dig 'em…
-
they look like a pair of futuristic Yuketen Maine Boots!…
True that, and at 300 bones….
I would rather grab Yuketens -

great pick-up.
first string have really been producing some nice sh!t. would argue they are ahead of the pack with nice releases & not breaking-your-bank-pricepoints.

I really dislike that ripple sole on everything
i know dude, its ridiculous. its unfortunate that it seems to be making waves across the fashion industry right now. hope it dies out soon. to each his own, but I think its nonsense.

ripple sole has a deep history, Inventory did a nice little write up about them an issue or so back. with that said i have to admit them (ripple soles) are growing on me & i will be taking the plunge sooner or later . . .

I know they have history, I just think its funny that all of the sudden its fashionable. Its kinda like someone getting a full on smokejumper boot out of fire leather and the silicone vibram 100 and wearing them for upscale coffee and to post pics online of them wearing them. I guess the purpose they were intended to serve is too far from the purpose they are now being used for is my beef. Whatever, Im just a hater at heart, Ill probably own a pair of shoes with the ripple sole by the end of the week haha.

i sort of agree with part of your take SpaceGnome. here is where i don't agree, if all items made where only used for the purpose they were for then we would miss out on alot of great kit. is it a bit ridiculous? yeah it is, but i'm a guy that grew up in NY in the late 80s & early 90s we almost all wore Polo & North Face clothing & Timberland boots & Jordan sneakers.
we used none of those items for their intended purpose & had a damn good time doing it. tbh chuck taylors were made for playing basketball & everyone from burn outs, to skaters, to old dudes, to little kids wear & enjoy them.
