I'm just not the type to be that careful about my shoes and I usually avoid suede for that reason. These have some suede construction but it seems to me that since the majority of the surface area is mesh, maybe it won't stand out that badly if the suede gets a little messed up. Wondering what others have found who have this shoe or similar. Will it look naturally worn in or look like a mess if the suede isn't cared for?

These would be for business casual days in the office when I don't have any meetings. And of course travel to/from work and errands before/after. Thanks!

Something about this color I really liked since it first came out. This is a really nice model that gets overlooked IMO.

I've been watching it get discounted deeper and deeper the past several months. Finally picked it up the other day from Kick's Lab (one of my favorite online shops here) for 8800 yen.

size 12 🫡 I somehow won the raffle on the Salmon Toes, and for the Otoros I was able to cop them off the END website a month after its release in 2021. I refreshed the website everyday cuz I wanted the Otoros so bad back then, and a “last pair” happened to restock 🙏. So grateful to have these both, they look amazing side by side. The GL3, I fear, is the goat.

Also—had to white lace the salmon toes immediately. absolutely mandatory for me.
The gray laces on the Otoros are from the Orange Patta Wave AM1s. I think they pair perfectly with these 🐟😮‍💨
