Yes they are the real deal - genuine Florsheim wingtips, aka Kenmoor brogues - the shoe Ivy Leaguers fawn over, waxing lyrical at their splendour.
And who can blame them? They're an amazing shoe, elegant yet robust - a true design classic.
These are part of the brands Fall 2011 collab with Duckie Brown. They're a real test of your true Ivy League metal - pun intended.
On one side you have the traditionalists; purists - foaming at the mouth, thinking that these iconic symbols of American style should come in only a handful of natural leather colours - and black.
Some of these guys even perceive ox blood as a shade too far.
Then there are those who come from the world of fashion.
They're so busy imagining all the clothes they can match these rich colours with that the whole tradition thing is lost on them.
And finally there are those, perhaps a minority among Ivy lovers, who see these, like the other shoes in the special collection as keeping true to an important aspect of Ivy style - a playful combination of frivolous colour and serious construction.
Me? I luv 'em.
