i have a hard time justifying spending 250 on these.
ok then dont buy them lol
>>18160794why not get one of the hundred cheaper clones of the same shoe?
>>18160794you are spending $250 on a fake of a fake shoe just buy Margielas man
>>18160806Margielas are $500 or something, that's half the price>>18160802Not the same quality the Novestas have huge padding inside them, those are full leather
>>18160814I have the ones from beckett simonon and they are great.
why not buy the original surplus?
>>18160839picrel are universal surplus, like the Novestas they are more padded like a real workout shoe. I guess it's more faithful to the original army GATS but i prefer the ones that are faithful to the Margiela GATS (less padded, leather inside).
>>18160851these are the Margiela
>>18160853these are the Novesta
>>18160855>>18160823These are the Beckett Simonon, maybe my favorites but only ship to the US.
>>18160860these are the Reproduction of found (the ones in the OP but white)
>>18160865And these are the Oliver Cabell (but it's deceptuive, because sometimes they show leather inside and sometimes fabric inside)
svenssonshop makes a version also. I have their white low tops very nice quality.
>>18160868this pic is also from Oliver Cabell, totally different insole, so fuck them.If i had to rate them from visual i'd say: Margiela (GOAT) > ... > Beckett Simonon = Reproduction of Found > .. > Oliver Cabell? > Universal Surplus > Novesta > Vintage GAT from Ebay > Aliexpress GAT
>>18160870thanks, i'll check
>>18160879also skolyx is another europoor-brand version
>>18160882>skolyxOk, those look fucking nice, and 100 euros less than Reproduction of Found, thanks anon.
>>18160851are you completely retarded? I will ask again.Why not buy the original surplus?
>>18160960I finally bought the Skolyx thanks to this anon >>18160882 in light grey, 150€ and it looks more premium.
I have Skolyx sneakers (not these) and they are great.They were comfy from the start but they did break in after 4-5 wears and now I reach for them all the time, walking the dog, going to the store, going out with friends, it's my go to shoe now.
>>18160814you can find margiela GATs in any size barely worn aroind $300 on any of the good resell websites, jsut avoid all the fakes on depoop. youll always feel inferior if you dont get margiela
>>18160876>>18160934if you're in usa so skolyx and beckett simonon cost exactly the same after shipping vat etc which one would you go for?
>>18160851The surplus aren't padded at allWell atleast mine, maybe they have variation
>>18161292Sry misread universal surplus as just surplus
cop?
>>18161399Unless you work security, no.
>>18161288Just from the photos i'd say the Beckett Simonon, they gave double stitching in the middle part.
>>18161399They could work with a decent fit. What do you plan on wearing them with?
>>18161399schoolshootercore
>>18161696they would be mainly for /out/ stuff so like a gorpcore type of fit
>>18161399I think they look pretty neat
>>18161399
