  A recent shoot for France-based Ninja Magazine used the Vein Wear Long Brogue Boots in Grey and Black. Ninja Mag and Lab Mag are both available to view free online at ninja-mag.com. I highly recommend adding it to your favourites list. It is available in both French and English sites.

FHM Jan 2009
  This is a case of credit where credit is not due. The shoe pictured in the Jan 2009 FHM at No.1 says it is one of ours. Alas it is not. We do have a similar style of canvas shoe (pictured at bottom right), but without the espadrilles thing...ewe.

Alvin Manalo - Saint Augustine Academy Designer
  There was once an unemployed designer named Alvin, who liked to flog printed tees and jeans at weekend markets. Turns out his wares were pretty ace and became a big hit. Five years later, and AJ's now fully fledged fashion label, Saint AugustineAcademy, is stocked all overtheworld. Yay for him! He has a pretty cool rock-star following too, including Interpol, The Killers and Bloc Party. So FHM Magazine thought they'd chuck Alvin $1000 to deliver us instant credo. His pick for shoes...Vein Wear Speed Stripe Zip Ankle Boot. Manalo says, "These boots have become my number-one wardrobe staple. They make a great everyday item."
