Anyone see the burgundy wingtips in person, are the soles blue or another color?

They look like a dark shade of blue based on some eBay photos.

Agreed. If you compare to the burgandy chukkas on CH.com, it suggests more that the wingtip sole is blue, not black.

Cool, thanks! Does the website specify if it's nubuck or suede? I thought they were the same?

@Br1ju
Sometimes they don't specify what material is used. I believe nubuck is used some colors of the lace boots (usually the non-shiny ones like black/black, taupe, fatigue and the two newly released ones). They used it on some wingtips before (black/poolside, fatigue/ironstone, poolside/grey). As far as I can tell, they have no nubuck ones for the current lineup.

I have the camello long wingtip and the chukkas but can't pull off the color with anything I wear so I'm going to have to sell them. If the chukkas were another color I'd definitely keep them. They feel more comfortable than my grey kudu and that's saying a lot. I agree with you regarding the eyelits too. The only leather I own is the Woodbury and after walking with them for a long time I could notice just how stiff the leather was. When I wear them for a short time like going to church I don't really notice it but I'm keeping them bc of the look. Buttery soft is the best way to describe the kudus by the way!

I was able to order this off Neiman Marcus earlier today. They only had one and it was my size.

What does everyone think about the CH Grandsprint?
Leather @ http://www.dsw.com/shoe/cole+haan+grandsprint+wingtip+oxford?prodId=306685
Suede @ http://www.dsw.com/shoe/cole+haan+grandsprint+wingtip+oxford?prodId=303134
I tried the suedes and they were definitely a bit firmer than LunarGrands.

What's the Grandsprint? That's the first time I've heard of that. Those look at least better than the zerogrands.

I was thinking of getting the black leather at the outlet here. I haven't tried it though. I'm curious to see if anyone else has owned them.

They seem to be a LunarGrand copy without the Nike technology. Weird thing is, only DSW seems to be selling it.
The leathers don't look too nice. I feel they actually are even lower quality than the leather on LunarGrands. I'd say try them on and inspect them visually up close. FYI, these were $110 at DSW. Suedes were $110 - 40%.

Only place I've seen them is at the cole haan outlet for $100. Then again I haven't been in DSW in years. I inspected them up close and even tried them on. They were pretty comfortable much lower to the ground than lunars but I was curious as to how they hold up long term. When it comes to material I'm not sure what's quality and what's not. I'm a noob when it comes to dress shoes but I guess I can see what your saying about the quality vs the lunars.

They had the milkshade suede and black leather at outlet. They do look sleek depending on the angle but still not a fan, it's those soles that are killing the shoe. Lunars are still the best. I'm waiting to see if they actually make a lunargrand with a separate heel to make it even more dressy for corporate wear similar to the Nike Air line.
