Incas Natural Kangaroo
For a while I was questioning my decision to go with Natural roo as my entry into the dome. They didn't seem to be picking up too much change in character and I was initially afraid to wear get them too dirty or wear them out in bad weather because on some level they were a grail boot of mine. In my younger days i played a lot of ultimate, and my go to footwear was always adidas and diadora soccer cleats. the best versions of these were often made out of kangaroo leather, so when i got into higher end boots, those were the paurs that inlusted after. In the end I'm genuinely impressed in just how much the color warmed to a nice honeyed tan from the original, and i was surprised to find how the kangaroo picked up rolls similar to shell compared to creasing like the CXL and calf that i was most used to. I rarely wore these multiple days in a row, but they got use nearly every other day, from office wear to dog walks to hanging out with friends going to breweries or sporting events.
