[GravyBoat]

F*cking sweet

Seriously. The Gloss white/black pair needs to be in my hands ASAP. Can't even imagine how excited you are to have created these bad boys yourself.

Also, you scored BIG TIME on the domain name. I can envision a marketing video where people are saying "why do I wear 8?" over and over again. Mad props Vick.
