Thanks, I guess I'll have to set up a sufu acc't then.

Sweet deal, that's sort of what i'm looking for but in a high top

Adidas (didn't they originally make GATs for the German Army?) sells some through the UK Adidas website for like $93 converted from British Pounds.

Those are definitely nice.
How's the sizing compared to Purcells if you don't mind?

^TTS for me. 8 in JP and 260 (US8) in these.

Big Pun, have you found the laces on those to be extremely short? Been thinking about picking up some new laces for mine..

 

[Big Pun]

^^Yeah they are way shorter than I am used to. I've never tried on Purcells, but in Chucks I'm a 10, in Stan Smiths 11, most shoes 11 or 44. These are size 290. If that helps.

These have gotta be a trap - anyone know what the quality's like (not holding breath at £35)?

Nice in a futuristic sufu kind of way.

 

[JackTheRipper]

Ohshit, those Supras look nice. I've been wanting a pair of sneakers like Fujiwaras with the little flaps around the eyelets. Any idea on price?

Lol at the description.

"The Urban Renewal collection is made up of carefully selected items from around the world that bring the past to the present. An Urban Renewal item maybe vintage, recycled, or remade. This means that our designs are often available in limited quantities making Urban Renewal a distinct and unique collection.

All Urban Renewal items are one-of-a-kind and unique. Yours may vary slightly from what's pictured."

I am basically putting it on paper since I mentioned it before, but I can guarantee a big retailer is going to start importing GAT's to the states and we will have easy access to them (not UO UK). If they aren't going to be imported, somebody like Adidas will put A.039 stateside and release a basic GAT colorway for the shoe. Holiday at the latest, mark my words.

 

[RFX45]

That is interesting news, I am actually surprised it is taking this long to take advantage of the GATs style since it seems to have been on demand for a while now and Margielas version is obviously selling well. I just want a mid-cut version already.

Brand new GAT's in every size for 29.90 euros. The site seems alright but you may need to translate.

Garbage fakes from China.
