Aron over in the Mutiny Art Department just got a new pair of kicks and wrote up a review for you to check out. Peep it here:

Looking for a 'nicer' shoe to take out-on-the-town and impress the lady friends in? Or just a pair to be chillin' in? We think we've found them - The Etnies Forsvar in Black/Denim.

Clean and simple lines make this a more traditional cut shoe - no crazy lace loops, velcro, or wild features - just solid construction that looks pretty classy. While there is a little bit of gum sole that shows on the bottom edge, the rest of the footprint is all black. These shoes will look good with any dark washed or black jeans you'd wear riding or out-on-the-town in, making it easier for all you OCDs out there to color-coordinate your apparel!

Upon first wearing, they seem a little stiff to ride in, but like every shoe they need some time to break in. Also, the back story & packaging is worth mentioning. The shoes were designed by Rune Glifberg to highlight the current political crisis going on with Christiana, a 'county-within-a-county" in Denmark that is currently involved in an aggro game of 'Indian-Giver'. Check out the wild back story here.The box features photos shot from his visits to Christiana over the years and definitely stands out package-design-wise.

These shoes won't be for everyone, but for the cleaner more-traditional shoe wearer looking for a nice pair of shoes to play 'dress-up' in, these are perfect.
