[Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Representative]

Why?

[Larry]

Because it was. Because it was cool and good and I had not how many buckles. And I. There was no buckles and I never. It was paint. It was just the normal Roa hiker, whatever this. But the Andes I believe is the model and it was paint. It was like paint splay came like paint splattered. It was a cool leather treatment, you know, paints.

[Jimmy]

Anyway, pre paint splatter is the worst kind of pre distressing.

[Larry]

It was. It was done in a. It was done in a tasteful way. A cool taste. Teach taste.

[Jimmy]

You can't learn taste.

[Larry]

And you know, it was like suck. It was a. It was a grailed cop. At the time I was working at grailed and they were like you know I hadn't worn hiking boots since like my menswear days when I had like for caps or you know the the kind of like standard what you think of when you think about a hiker. These were like felt more fashion and cool and weird and whatever. Anyway, the point of the story is that I would literally still wear them today. You stink if they weren't loaned to my cut. My cousin was going on a trip shout out Milo and I learned these none of the they were the black mud guard and it was natural like a more veg tan leather. It's more similar to these honestly not those white ones with the Burton Ernie paint.
