They are making them again. http://www.colchesterrubberco.com/index.html It seems very convenient that they found near-pristine 116 year-old sneakers right about the time the Colchester is re-releasing them. Maybe I'm just paranoid that way. Ed O.
the website looks to be done by the gentleman in the story who got them at an estate sale. if you watch the video on the website the shoes dont look as pristine as they do in the picture. either way its interesting to know and the shoes do look pretty damn cool.
It is interesting. I'm thinking that it's a hoax. As you note, it appears to be the same guy. On the site there's this line: "*Disclaimer: All Claims and statements are solely those of Gary L. Pifer." on the bottom of the http://www.colchesterrubberco.com/form.html page. Does that name sound familiar? Haha. Kinda clever. Fun-looking shoes. But a hoax. Ed O.
those boots look too modern.....nice but yeah they have been aged but if they are that old wouldnt the rubber be toast by now?
lol, I always find it amusing where people see conspiracy and where they see coincidence. You might be right Ed. O. good find.
