all three of those Lakai catalogs for this year are pretty solid. cannot wait for those Atlantics to drop!! the black/white for most models is something every company should do. and a lot of their silhouettes are clean, if not similar. Newport, Flaco 2 and Cambridge all look appealing to me. i kinda prefer the Manchester over the Sheffield design.
i tried the Bristol a few months ago and it had horrible fit, like the worst heel lock i've ever experienced on a shoe fully laced up. i just think the insole was too thick for the shoe. but i traded them in for some canvas Manchester Lean deadstock and those have turned out to be nice.
