Not a new discovery, but I’ve been holding off on posting these just because I couldn’t imagine that Bilbo was really all they went by. But new evidence suggests these unique looking wheels really are nothing more than that. Bilbo. ビルボ。 They don’t get very much love in the Kyusha scene, but I don’t really see why. Certainly gold centers and polished lips are over played, and the transition really doesn’t work that well given the single piece design. That color is all you’ll find them in too, unless they’ve been custom painted or polished. But… you have to agree they are still noteworthy, and a lot more interesting than some other offerings. Furthermore, they come in a good variety of sizes, albeit 14″ only and are somewhat more common and affordable than other interesting kyusha shoes.
