A cowboy, a sunset, a muscle car, an engineer boot.

Brian's 1940 last engineers are legendary for a reason and their robust toe box and confident stance upon receiving has transformed and collapsed into a weathered form I can only try to capture in words as the representation of the American rebel. Slouching Marlon Brando on a motorcycle in his leather jacket, James Dean leaning against the wall with a lit cigarette, a lone cowboy walking into the sunset. These are the feelings and images this worn-in silhouette evokes. Deeper than nostalgia. A timeless vintage sentiment and feeling central to Americas cultural identity, sometimes better but often worse in practice, always poetic in memory and cinema, you can feel its lonely aching echo in these boots.
