Don't get me wrong, because I still wear mine as my bad weather shoes, but they are nothing special and never were. I have had 2 pairs of these and won't buy more.


They are unbranded sneakers mostly - desirable enough that MMM ripped them off and charged $400 for. I mean what were you expecting?

Probably worn them enough to get bored. I don't know what kind of sneakers I'd like next... I've never owned a pair of CP's.

I received a pair of painted gats today and was comparing them to my original GATs and I have to say mmm gats are chunkier, I don't like the silhouette as much as the original. Wish someone would make a sleeker upscale gat.

i'm surprised this is not said more often. i have cps and MMMs but prefer the shape of original GATs to both. the lower profile seems to work much better with slim denim.

Please leave the GATs to the German Army... They're freakin hideous.

Where you get those laces du? they look goood also i like the "fashion lacing" on the right pair works with minimal shoes like gats cps etc plus easier to adjust than criss cross lacing

Thoughts on the Geller GATs?

I just bought the green version from the promo sale. At $100 I thought worth a shot.
