The common project guy came out with rep gats for ~$50

Not sure if it has been discussed here yet.

I'm NEVER buying rep shoes again. No matter how good they are, or how good the reviews on fashionreps etc are, they always fall apart within 6 months of wear.

I think it depends on who the seller is and what price they're going for.

This same seller sold me CPs that were a size too small. I asked if he had size 45, he said he didnt but he could get some made. He ended up sending me size 44 with a different label. Pure piece of shit.

The shoes FROM THIS SAME SELLER also fell apart super fast after that.

I really want some gats but am telling myself that I will hate myself for wasting money on this idiot's products again.

Also, I don't think the shoe used in the first place was original to begin with. I saw the images on reddit when it was announced the seller had gotten a hold of real GATs. I've seen real GATs up close plenty of times and have never seen such poor stitching on a real shoe.

So the guy from Common Projects is selling some chink shit from taobao, a chink shit website?

How did I know it was actually a size 44? When I lifted the insole I noticed someone had written a big "44" with marker on the inside of the shoe.

I'm still mad about this. Of course Reddit nerds won't listen one bit and just down vote whenever you criticize something they love. Don't forget that those subs are full of shills.

When they say the common projects guy, they mean some chink who sells fake common projects.

thats kinda the point isn't it? buy something cheap you wont feel bad about tossing. save up if you want the real thing that's gonna last.

this does not apply to limited stock shoes of course. nobody should pay scalpers

Fucker also screwed me over on the size. Scamming seller that little reddit boys circlejerk over because one of them is getting paid to shill. Bring something like this to light with any unknown seller and they will black list them without a problem.

My main beef with the Common P reps is that while they feel better than the typical trash sneaker they don't feel as good as actual Common Projects. At least they're pretty cheap.

I wish someone else would put out a good REP.

The problem I've had is the squares inside the sole that end up pressing through the insole and just become useless after that

if you can't afford Margiela GATs, why not just buy the original GATs, or any of their thousand clones?
seems like a better idea than buying something made by a chinese scam artist with no guarantee of quality at all

Just pick one form a manufacturer that's in your budget.

Just buy German army trainers from eBay or milsurp

Original gats were just replica of found gats anyway Margiela used to show found pieces next to ones he designed

Of course they rebranded replica to be perfume lines now but it was legit runway stuff prior to Margiela departing.

Additionally addidas is the OEM and contract winner to supply the German army. The samba model has the same gun sole and a shitty upper on it closely related to the gat

While you're at it get flecktarn too so you look like a homeless German army vet.

The real gats actually have crap quality.

Common Projects actually have shit quality. They look "nicer" than Greats but Greats are significantly thicker and heavier.

I don't care if they're using high quality leather (which they actually aren't), since it's a white sneaker so there will be no difference between full grain and corrected leather.

You think these chinese ones will be like the MM ones or like the milsurp ones? I'm pretty sure they'll be worse than either.
