Go to german ebay, use google translater and search for one of these -bundeswehr turnschuhe

-bundeswehr sportschuhe


Thats to get the german army surplus ones which are quite cheap I got mine for about $50 but had to look around for a while

And you can get the Adidas ones here for $86

I can't get over the black lip on the toe of the Converse JPs and I haven't been able to find any John Varvatos Converse i've liked since the white multi eyelet version
