I'm probably in the minority but I've always preferred the old skool over the authentics. The black and white checkerboard slip ons too.

Authentics with the extra cushion sole and forget about all the fancy stuff.

I hate to say it, but all of those other ones not only look alike, but also resemble a Nordstrom Rack special.
I get that, but feel like authentics would look out of place in the workplace. The original pair I'm after is a collab between C.QP and Eidos few years ago. I think it's the second pair I posted above. I might just hold out and see if C.QP drops some new colorways as Gentleman's Footwear in LA? and The Armoury carry limited offerings. Sweyd seems almost like a good alternative.

Or maybe Stoffa..
