Should I produce a Jango boot? (Manofwarstudios)

I know I'm a little behind in the response category on this thread, but if there is an accurate boot to be made... I'm definitely in.

I know I havent been on for a few months but are we nearing a start on this much anticipated buid?

I Would kill for a pair of these

Hey guys,

Here's an update on the Jango Boot Project.

I've been informed by my sources that the metal molds (Dyes) used to make the original Kenneth Cole "Pit Crew" Soles have all been destroyed. That all subsequent castings that were made and licensed to other brands of footwear are all that remain of the original design.

In a nutshell.....The soles don't exist anymore!

All new aluminum molds would have to be fabricated and this is no cheap task. Several thousands of dollars per size sole I'm told.

So, the new task is to find a compatible replacement?

Does anyone have any ideas or perhaps owns a pair of boots that would pass for the KC pit crew version soles?

If so, then perhaps those soles still exist in the world market?

Share your thoughts guys....

Christian

A member here is doing a run of Jango Fett soles, using moulds of actual KC boots/shoes, so I don't know if it's worth the project anymore :\

Jeeees KaanE...Right for jugular as usual huh?

Christian - I (as most of us are) am very aware of the high quality products you put out, and would love to see a Pit Crew-esque boot produced by MOW Studios. With that being said, you might want to check out this thread, if you haven't already...

I thought the sole you found earlier in the thread looked great. Sure it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty darn close. Is it not available anymore? If so I think you should keep going. I think there is plenty of interest in all the different versions that use that sole. Just my thoughts though.

You know I'm just being honest. That said, if you could use the sole posted on the first page with a really accurate overall look of the boot, for a reasonable price, I think you will have demand, the question is if it would be enough to justify such an investment.
