From the Allen Edmonds 2012 catalogue:
#1 requested welted shoe from bloggers and fashion connoisseurs

Allen Edmonds Neumora — Not quite sure what to make of this news, but apparently Allen Edmonds is releasing a new double-monk model called the “Neumora”. Retail is supposed to be $345, but you can pre-order a pair via allaboutshoes on StyleForum for $285. Available in black and burnished brown colorways.
What’s the difference? Hard to say, exactly, but the toebox looks sleeker and the buckles are definitely different. Also, the straps seem longer. Details seem a bit sketchy right now, but we’ll probably know more when they’re available in March.

For sale: Double Monks (Allen Edmonds Mora & Mezlan)
EDIT: Both sold. Thanks!
I’m selling both pairs of my double monks. They’re both about a half size too large for me and I’m not putting either into much of my shoe-wearing rotation. I figure they might find a better home with someone else.
One is an Allen Edmonds Mora, black calf, size 11 B:
The other is a vintage pair of Mezlans, brown, Made in Spain, 11 D:
The AE Moras are $175 and the Mezlans are $75. Both prices include shipping via USPS Priority within the United States. Extra shipping for international (truth be told, I’ll probably use a different carrier, like UPS, FedEx, etc. — we can talk). PayPal accepted as payment. Email me if you’re interested. Whatever I don’t sell here will then go on eBay.
For more photographs and details on the shoes please click “read more” — especially if you’re considering buying. Thanks!

There’s a crazy story behind those Moras
edwinhu replied to your post: WIWT: 02-09-2011
so many dub monks on my dash today. I have 0 problem with that. nice moras.
Thanks. Probably one of the greatest instances of dumb luck in my entire life.
Also to answer this:

I dig. Quick question: are your moras really squeaky?
You know what, they kind of are! I think it’s the vamp rubbing up against itself as I walk. Maybe over time it’ll wear in and stop? I haven’t worn these very much, given the weather of late.

Treasure hunting: Allen Edmonds “Mora” double-monk shoes
Today’s WIWT picture featured my newly acquired Allen Edmonds “Mora” double-monks. Sadly, these are currently not in production and I don’t think there’s anyone else better suited to profess a love for these shoes than L.A.S. at Sartorially Inclined, calling it a “sartorial unicorn.”
Well, last week I caught and killed a unicorn.
You might remember the Groupon deal for Nordstrom Rack ($25 for $50 worth of merch at their stores), which I snatched up and thought might be worth holding on to to maybe get a new scarf or score some other staples, like socks.
I figured I might as well hit the store the day before Thanksgiving, knowing the day after would probably wipe out a lot of the store’s stock. As it happened, I decided to give the shoe racks a look over. If you’ve ever been to the store on State St. in downtown Chicago, then you know what a mess they are. I’ve managed to find some Allen Edmonds before, but nothing at what I’d consider “super cheap” (lowest I’ve found for a dress shoe has been $160).
But then I saw a lonely double-monk sitting on the rack. Thinking it might be a questionable brand, I grabbed it to check for a leather sole. Boom. I look inside.
My heart skips.
I march directly over to the shoe-mate counter, get the left shoe and try them on.
The craziest part wasn’t that I managed to find this coveted shoe, but the price I paid for it.
That’s right, $100. Minus another $25 with the Groupon that brought the cost to $75.

Keep your fingers crossed kids. The Mora is, or should I say was, one of the best double monks out there.
Who ever said I wasn’t a man of the people?!
I want a suede pair but I’ll take whatever I can get
There is definitely a niche market for the Mora provided they price them similarly to their other shoes (~$300).
Agreed on that price range. I’d prefer to get one pair in black and one pair in brown, but if they retail at $500/pair, then that’s definitely not going to happen.
