Love the Margiela replicas, best high end sneakers imo. They fit with literally everything, you never go wrong with that pair on feet. I have mine for 7 years now and wearing them almost every day, still in very good condition.
These shoes are surprisingly durable! For something so slim and simple I’m not surprised they have lasted so long for you!
Yeah but they’re $600.... Did he even make those? If I’m not mistaken he rebranded them, that’s it lol. I was on my first trip to Germany bought three pairs of army trainers for 34€. One for my dad and brother and I. They’re all leather I love them so much.
@@sumoslap1973 of course they are the same shoes. Margiela called them "replicas" but trust me the quality of the leather is not the same. (Not saying that the OG gats are bad quality, they just different). And for the price yeah there is a big difference, it all depends of what you're looking for. I didn't pay mine full price, got them for like 220$. So, it's worth it imo.
@@_herehugo_ cool, never seen a pair in person, guess I wouldn’t know. I’m just surprised the GATs can even get any better lmao they’re already so near perfect. I gotta start thrift hunting more
THE BEST HIGH END KICKS, so comfortable and the quality is unbeatable I own 9 pairs and they are definitely my favorite shoe
Didn't know they are popular outside Germany. I have about 5 pairs unused and 1 I'm wearing. Got them in a shop around here for 5€ a pair. It's just a mass-product, that everyone got when he had to do obligatory army-service for about a year. All things imaginable got stolen an smuggled out of the Bundeswehr. So if you "lost" your shoes, you got new ones and there were quite a lot of military shops with those hardly used sneakers and camping-bushcraft-equipment in general. The Number on the sole is the size, the Bundeswehr (BW) used a different system, so it might be quite confusing. They usually last a long time, very robust. I wear them for daily issues, it's not very "fancy" to wear them in clubs or so. They could be considered the "anti-sneaker". So I have 2 pairs of SAMBA which are basically the same thing, but look "cooler". The BW definitly had another sort of shoe, blue ones with a black sole, more for hiking but still sneakers. They are not so common.
Yeah they are pretty popular everywhere. I know that people in the US think they're hard to find but I know a decent website in Korea that ships to the USA. They handmake their shoes from beginning to end, Korea also has some of the best leather in Asia so I don't mind handmade korean shoes one single bit. They sell them for $50. Not bad considering what most pay for shoes. I got 2 pairs, and will get the other ones that have the suede on the side when they go back in stock, they're also $10 cheaper for some reason even though there's more material on it. They have black and creme colors as well but white is the cleanest looking imo.
@@epicprogamer61937 Impressing - I should get a ton full of those BW-trainers and sell them online.
@@epicprogamer61937what’s the name?
what does the number on the tongue mean?
@@asisi1589 I don't know...some army-registration-number?!
I have two Sambas! Had no idea they were inspired from GAT. Great info as always!
Thanks Victor! That’s the beauty of it all, most of the time you’d never know where the inspiration comes from and it’s fun for me to just give people these fun facts 😂
I want them to make a GAT reproduction. Looks so versatile.
Puma has 2 shoes inspired by the GATs. The first is a somewhat authentic version aptly named Puma Army Trainer and the other one is the Puma Pallermo.
i daily wear 20£ vintage ones from ebay to university with an insole and they sre comfortsble and i love them
Thank you for this informative Video ✌🏽
Keep it up man, your spirit is real!
Greetings from Germany,
Jonas
another interesting detail on og gats is that the left heel has a little hole in it
I noticed that! Do you know if there’s a particular reason why?
when the german military throws out old stuff, they punch a hole into it, so that they know that the stuff is out of service.
Bit like old cd’s ?
You pronouncing Adi and then Das correctly and then immediately saying A-dee-dus gave off strong "Pheobe teaching Joey French" energy. Great video though man!
For me it’s Bottega Veneta boots this year quality just insane + Céline vibe. Worth da cop. Nice Josh ⚡️
The bottega boots’ shape is so nice!
Great video, keep it up!
Can you please do another video on the og gat? Sizing, comparison to the samba sizing, where to source them etc. I’m from America and I cannot get a sense of size, keep getting different answers. I’m a 9.5 in sambas
so awesome. made me love my sambas even more.
I also thrifted a pair of MMM Gats lmao. watching this vid for research. Great stuff! Subbed.
what color way you get?
@@ee1yd The OG ones.
The Margiela GAT is incredibly comfortable.
i see u got a 270, whats US size do usually wear for other sneakers? cheers
i have my third pair now. cost me around 20$. nearly unused. greetings from Germany.
What an amazing deal!
What’s the sizing on them do run big small or true to size?
how to the vintage original ones feel, are they comfortable? do they hurt?
Hi, what type of brand insole did you add? love your content btw
Thank you so much! I don’t buy any in particular, honestly I just look for any brand that has solid arch support!
Dope vid man! Loved the history lesson!
Thank you for your time!
Video was needed and appreciated to expand my already low knowledge in this area 🤍🤍🤍 thank you man this is interesting.
So glad you got something from this video!
I've been having my Anatomy exams so I've not been able to watch your videos 😐, at least i know i have enough to watch to relax as soon as my exams are over
Best of luck on your exams, my guy! I remember anatomy specifically gave me a bit of trouble back in the day so I hope it all goes well! And it is truly an honor to contribute to your winding down from exams!
Got my adidas gats for $60 brand new shipped a couple years ago. Only worn them once since I don’t want to ruin them bad boys until I find a 2nd pair 👀
Quite the steal bro! Hopefully you can find that second pair so you can wear them into the ground 😂
@@wheres_galdo I found out about this shoe a couple months ago from a guy on 4chan who had a bunch sold out on his kommando store. I have 2 pairs now and I can’t stop wearing them lmao.
Is this true to size or ?
I used to go for 255-260mm
Which size should i get
"NEW VIDEO HYPE"
You know it my dude 😎
Great vid I'd just suggest that you make a simple teleprompter so you don't have to keep looking down
i'm fucking with josh every vid
🤝🥲
Thx for it dawg
Your pronounciation of the german name was pretty on point though✌
Thank god I was able to say it right, I don’t want to offend any German speakers 😂
the Adidas one looks so similar to the margiela
I am a wide footer guy with average to a lil bit heavy body structure. A slim sneakers would make my feet cry for sure but i love the white top leather with suede accent and the gum sole (which now i know influenced by a GAT. ) What would be the best alternative if I go for the GAT silhouette?
Sambas maybe
CCP has his own version on the GAT too 👀
I had a pair cost 200rmb (30usd) only last 1year long and the lather break
Oh, hey, I'm gonna make a video on something "that I'm not really sure about"....Aw, Yeah, dawg....
It’s pronounced bon-das-ver
Adidas is the original
I'm trying to find a surplus pair for around 50 instead of paying 70-80 anyone got any tips, I'm kinda struggling on ebay I really don't want adidas ones or the chance of buying fake ones
I would highly suggest to stay patient and just keep your eyes peeled! and make sure you try every platform you can like grailed, depop, ebay, just make sure you look for the right key words!
Beckett Simonon has their version $130ish i posted an unboxing of them
