Maison Martin Margiela Basketweave Gats. The German Army Trainer, originally designed by the Dassler Brothers and reshaped by the German Army which standardized the Bundeswehr GAT, fell into the "replica" line of Margiela during the mid 00's and went through many iterations. Every season Margiela takes the sneaker and "does" something to it; Inverts the colour scheme, makes it out canvas, paints it, makes it out of different shapes of plastic, replaces upper out of used recycled paper, rubberizes it, burns it, papier-mâché mummifies it, glazes it, dips in paint, thrashes it, turns it inside out, makes it out of cork, makes it out of rhinestones, replaces upper with 3m, invert the tongue and remove eyelets so its laceless, changes the texture to faux snakeskin, have the entire Margiela team sign the shoe, provides you with a pen and replaces upper to be a draw-friendly material so you can draw on your gats and so on. For this iteration the front upper portion is made entirely out of a woven basketweave. Its a breathable material better for hotter days and is more flexible than leather, but not water resistant. The basketweave meticulously imitates the original leather design which allows the leather-to-basketweave transition to be masterfully executed. 9/10 condition. Barely any heel drag. Size 44.

Maison Margiela Paint Splattered GATs. This is the "painter" edition on a full taupe coloured lamb skin base. Colours are more various than other paint splattered GATs. Cotton flat laces. 9.5/10 Condition. Item seems to only be tried on. Size 44

Maison Martin Margiela Iconic Paint Splattered German Army Trainer Sneaker. The only piece of the "replica"(outside of parfumes) line that doesn't follow its biyearly trend, the GAT is a staple of Margiela's footwear. This is the full leather calf/lamb split in black instead of the usual split with nubuck. Last year Margiela introduced custom MMM soles instead of the conventional GAT sole. Paint on the sneaker is extremely durable compared to what other designers try to do with "Pollock" styled designs. 9.5/10 Nearly perfect, with just some light creasing. Size 42 Fits True to a US9.
