My choice…
Blackbird Alden Indy Edition (black soles). They still have 8.5!

@monday:
Any input is appreciated -sizing, different models, etc.-
The Indy Boot is the gateway drug. The Chukka boot is also extremely popular. In the end, whichever you decide would be a great first pair. It won't be your last!
Re sizing, if you can't make it to a store that has Alden's, go to a decent shoe store and get your feet measured on a brannock device. This will give you a good baseline. The usual stockists will be more than willing to help you get the right size.

thanks for the advice. will get my fred flintstones properly measured & than possibly take the plunge. . . just looking for local retailers so i can decide on a pair in person.
thanks again

Was just thinking about the SExLSxIH collab and here's what I'm hoping for: Indy with commando sole and 360 welt in a reverse chamois. Similar to the vintage Indy except the reverse chamois leather.
LS hasn't made a vintage Indy for quite a while now and it would make sense for something like that to come out soon, even if it's not a collab.

i remember talking to kiya awhile back about these…. it's definitely not an indy boot.

Well considering it is an SE collab, I would tend to think it would be something less workwear inspired as it seems that they are drifting away from that. So all of you worried about this model can sleep tight. It will be interesting no doubt…

I'm just looking forward to some great boots from Alden, collabs or not doesn't matter at all. Design, however does. Could care less about branding.

"forever two wheels"!!!!!!!!

Seconded…this looks like a RedWing boot - a real "down fall" for Alden
We can do anything

I love Red Wings. This shoe doesn't look like one to me though except maybe the sole. The toe box stitching is more refined and it's much slimmer (tapered) as well.
