I still think it makes them all unique. If you notice, they aren't all lined up exactly the same. Both of my pairs are the "orange tongues"...but honestly, you can't see the difference on my two pairs.

I totally get your point Guam but IMO I think the orange tongue goes much better with the side pattern, cause no where in that side pattern is there a spec of green. Thats my main fuss. And if I can't find someone to trade I'm not going to stress over it I would just prefer the orange.

Edit: I'm really diggin it with the off white laces!! Not many people are going to put those in but I love em!

I still haven't worn mine yet. I got the same colorway and I'm considering branding the leather accents... someone convince me to either do it or dont!

I've worn my Burgundy sparingly and the Black are always on rotation. Haven't worn my pair of Golden Brown yet either though.

Branding would be DOPE if it was done right, if you have the resources to do it then to do it. If it might turn out less than perfect don't risk it!

I used to brand things as a job so I have the supplies just not the guts to do it yet.

Do it! I think it'd turn out awesome, especially since you've got the know-how.

If you brand it, won't it look burnt? Or do you put like gold flake over it, like they do with books?

you use a chemical on the leather/pleather first and that prevents it from burning and it will just turn to a darker color. It does require up keep later on though otherwise it will crack.
