Cru Nonpareil just dropped some awesome new chukkas via their GMTO program in a suede color like you have never seen before–Cyan Suede. Cru is undergoing this GMTO in collaboration with Alberto Suastez aka Patinaworksarizona (on IG) and man are they a sight to see! Here Alberto styles them impeccably with his ecru-colored trousers.
I normally am not a huge fan of lighter blues in footwear. But these have just the right amount of green in them to really set them apart from baby blue or electric blue. The pairing of the natural sole on these cyan suede chukkas by Cru Nonpareil was the icing on the cake! And this is what I love about shoe design. If that had a dark sole on it with dark sole stitching it would not be nearly as cool. A color like this needs to pop and it does just that in this awesome makeup. Whoever chose the natural sole had good foresight!
What is GMTO?
For those that are not familiar with the term GMTO, what that stands for is Group Made to Order. GMTO is when a shoemaker amasses a minimum order quantity to meet the production terms of retail pricing. That avoids the MTO fee.
The Details of the GMTO
The GMTO is running through April 12th. The boots are priced at $560. They are made from a hand-welted construction. Their promised completion date is from the end of April/to early May. There is also a wide-width option with your selection. It is one heck of a deal and a super cool model not only to support but to have in your collection.
Cru Nonpareil is a one-man band making cool models for shoe aficionados around the world. Make sure to check him out and support his visions!

You can say that again. I’d never wear them but I love the colour.
