Just get a margiela gat
these are worse than gats
do u know what the cheapest they go for is? any other brand alternatives for gats?
Search for bundeswehr gats on etsy
Iirc there’s some vendor that stocks the original models for like $60
ok great thanks

when it says original it means the original style right? it also seems pre distressed
They're literally the originals
Margiela ones are a copy of these
(which is why the MM ones official name is 'replicas')
You've spent how much on hoodies recently and you're cheaping out on shoes?
bruh guys cmon
I just traditionally have never spent over 200 on shoes before
The jordans I just got were my first
They are military surplus, so could have been sitting in a box for 30 years. The original design was for the German army (bundeswehr) and was made on contract by Puma and Adidas. Margiela did a copy of them and now loads of brands make a version.
Wow that’s really cool I think that’s even better
The original name is the bundeswehr sportschuhe halle
Normally the cheapest way to find the original military ones is to search the German name.
Thanks I’ll search this now
There’s a bunch of knockoff ones but I think the Etsy still better probably
The margiela ones are quite a lot nicer but also a lot more money.
I’ve never bought a used piece/vintage before but I think it would be a good first experience
Go for it
