The Shoe Snob - Unboxing Series - Oriental Shoemak

The Shoe Snob - Unboxing Series - Oriental Shoemaker for Yeossal Part 1-2. Here I unbox a pair of shoes from @yeossal 's latest collaboration with Japan's Oriental Shoemaker. As they have two collections, Benchgrade and Handgrade, I decided to break these up into two different videos.
.
The first video (also with 2 parts), shown here, is about the Benchgrade line, price around $445, which offer solid making vs price ratio.
.
Make sure to check out Part 1 of this line before this video and Part 2 of the series with the Handgrade Line, when it comes out next week.
