At the least, I love that gray color and I like how they are doing the red/blue striping on more models these days. I have a double details pair of hi-tops that are a slightly darker gray that have a bunch of blue and red stripes.

Thoughts on these sneakers?

Keep in mind that those are used. I have 2 pairs myself. Bought 'em brand new from ebay.de and paid like 30 usd each.

GAT's are great beater sneakers. Probably worth more than I paid though.

i saw those and thought they looked quite nice. Whats with being used though, arent they kind of disgusting? Is there any way to sanitise them?

you're right. now i've returned both those and the canvas slip ons... trying to find a good pair of beaters, and so far converse isn't delivering. the only pair i have and like are white leather purcells...

any suggestions?

anyone have any experience with Feiyue shoes? Saw some today and I liked how they looked, and they're pretty cheap...

Not bad for the price; not sure how long the canvas material would hold up for though.

Feiyue are great beaters. My brother has had 2 pairs and loves them, we used to have them at 4HM. Definitely worth it if you get them cheaper than Cons/Vans etc.

Well thats what I mean. I don't think I've seen fit pics, I'm pretty sure I've seen people wearing them about but in passing and I don't get to like really look. They just SEEM like they look a little too thin. But also there is a Girls version of Chucks and they look pretty similar. Maybe the Hi-tops give the illusion of a taller sole, I don't know but, the lo's just look odd to me. =)

I'm digging those. The gray suede is nice. And the white sole looks sharp. I always have to try on shoes with the rise at the ankles. Sometimes they hit me in just the wrong place and rub the **** out of my ankles. Then again, those look nicely padded and it might not be an issue.

Those just make me smile. Total coolness...and I'll bet I wouldn't see a lot of people wandering the streets of Kansas City wearing them.
