Massdrop, your nomeclature is wrong. What is pictured is neither a semi-brogue or an Adelaide. It is rather a quarter-brogue balmoral or oxford. A semi brogue has a medallion punched on the captoe, and an Adelaide has an extended vamp which encloses the laces. This shoe has neither.

Brogues:
Thanks for your post! On the semi-brogue vs quarter brogue question, this brogue pattern is what carmina calls a semi brogue. See this product page for a shoe using the same pattern: https://goo.gl/70bN2z
That being said, Carmina also calls this a semi-brogue: https://goo.gl/BDfXca so they're not completly consistent but...
In all of our conversations throughout the course of developing this product, Carmina referred to it as a semi brogue, thus why it's called as such. Carmina doesn't believe in the medallion as a requirement to be called Semi Brogue, so Semi Brogue shall remain.
On the Adelaide side of things, you're spot on. This is how Carmina described the shoe throughout the development process (thus why the title is what it is today), but the Adelaide criteria is fairly straightforward. As such, we're going to drop Adelaide from the title later today.
Thanks for your help with this and thanks for caring enough to post 👍
