GATS are comfortable shoes and I think the white/cream/off-white color scheme looks nice.
As for price, not unlike MC stuff, certain SW&D items have a good deal of brand equity, which in turns results in a higher purchase price. You can get original GATS for something like $95 shipped. MMM obviously is a designer brand, so they price for exclusivity. At the end of the day, no different than buying a Kiton tie or a Hermes jacket - mostly unnecessary consumerism fueled by both construction/quality concerns and concerns relating to one's social identity perceptions.
Grendel, surely you'se trollin'....
I can't believe you're not seeing the MC paralells here. One is clean, well-made and -- hee hee -- "timeless", the other is shoddy and muddled, with a big logo center stage so one can signal to their peeps whatever they wish to signal by wearing that logo.

(Wes, I'm about the farthest thing from an expert, but I don't think the MMMs come in big widths).
As opposed to the common projects with the digital readout printed on the side to signal to their peeps?
I'll take your word for the better constructed. I haven't felt Common Projects or MMM. But timeless? Fashion sneakers are anything but timeless, unlike vintage longwings or 1940's bespoke suits.
Haha, no way, dude. Those CPs (to me, anyway) just look like a classic design, like Converse. (Really, Steve McQueen wore shoes like that!)Honestly, I could do without the bar code, but I'd have to disagree about the logos. That's one of the main reasons I started looking at more expensive shoes in the first place. I guarantee you, most people think you're wearing great-looking, but cheaper shoes, anyway.
Oh dear. There really needs to be an SW&D primer.
tl;dr: MC & SWD are two entirely different senses of style, each with their own merits, neither of which the other will ever understand.
It's not true! I'm the secret baby of both forums...when my identity is revealed, we will live as one.
P.S. Sorry, just wanted to know where VLSI was grabbing the brag-worthy dealz at.
