This right now, it is the best fashion channel going. Unfortunately, when it comes to tmf and alpha m, they're just going downhill 2 ads in some recent videos, crazy. But with devan he's keeping it original, catering to everyone and I love it.
Two things: 1. You saved me from becoming a hype beast. I would rather pick these up than the Yellow Yeezys dropping soon. (Flexiablity > Flexing) 2. I actually might buy the adidas ones because they come in a tan chalk color. (I will admit though, minimal branding is the best)
I just bought white ones, I feel like other options are way too expensive. I don't mind branding on some shoes, and I would say that although there is more than enough of it here, they are still pretty clean.
The Oliver Cabell seems to have a bit of quality control issues from what I've seen/experienced. Not a bad shoe, but if you can afford the Margiela, you should go for it.
The best GAT is the OG. I had one pair for two years and I can still wear them and they look not dead. They‘re also too small technically but I can walk with these 8 hours straight without any issues.
People are still wearing MM GATs that are 10 years old. The originals are inferior in every way as they were mass produced as cheaply as possible. No comparison, but of course you've never tried the MM GATs.
Just bought my first pair of Cabell's today thanks to your channel! Been after an affordable pair of GAT's for over a year and Adidas impossible to find in my size.
I love Oliver Cabell. They’ve honestly become one of my favorite go to brands. The quality is the there, the prices are amazing, and their customer service is just top notch. Their GATs are some of the best out right now.
Beckett Simonon has one that similar to Maison Margiela and they are on sale for $99 (original price is $149). You should check them out as well. I feel like the quality is very similar to Oliver Cabell.
Adidas re released this sneaker a couple of years ago. I got a pair for 100 and I love em. Honestly would have bought 2 if I knew they where gonna go away. They looked so good I thought they where here to stay, but this video is pretty sweet now I know of a viable similar looking alternative don't gotta wait for Adidas to get their head out their.
Thank you for your honest opinion on a delicate subject - personally, I'd rather save money (to use to buy a second pair) and still look good. Not everyone knows about Margiela Gat's or could tell the difference from a distance if they were aware. Keep up the great content.
A quick tip for everyone, the german military has the same shoe as their indoor sport shoe. But you get those for 50 euro. Called "Bundeswehr Sportschuhe Halle". And they are off really good quality
i'll still get the margiela, cause you can find some way under retail when they go on sale or on grailed. plus if i get bored of them, i can still sell them and get some of my money back if not majority of it due to the brands name. imo its a better investment.
i dont know about how it is in the rest of the world, but where i live in australia nobody recognizes margielas or the margiela numbers shoe tongue thing. so its not really much of a flex. i can say however that the leather quality really top notch and cant really be compared to OC
I just got my Beckett Simonon GATs that are nearly identical today! $150 retail but got for $120 with code! Fullgrain calfskin and suede and also full leather lining in same white with light gray uppers and gum soles!
DevanOnDeck they manufacture from Colombo and Portugal. I have 2 pairs of boots from them and it’s 🔥. Need a discount code Devan? I got you my friend 🤘🏼
I'm ok with my Adidas, I can see the quality with the margielas" Replica" granted I dont like the price ,but the other alternative is risky because I cant put them in hand or on feet until I purchase them
Just peeped you like Duckwrth. I knew I liked you haha. Anyway, could you do something similar for the Balenciaga sock sneakers? They look dope but cost $$$$
If you know where to look you can find an original pair of GAT's in like new condition for under $100. I took a chance and bought a pair from a military surplus store for $40 and the pair that was sent to me was like new never and never issued but I bought a second pair from them and that second pair was beat to hell so I returned it so its kind of a gamble.
DevanOnDeck if you want a vintage pair and you don’t mind having it ship from Germany then this seller looks promising. www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-BUNDESWEHR-SPORTSCHUHE-SAMBA-BW-LAUFSCHUHE-SNEAKER-HALLENSCHUHE-WEIs-/390486579142?skus=Größe:45|Zustand:sehr%20gut%20(wenig%20Abnutzungen)&varId=660095989010
That video was really helpful. I’m an aspiring fashion historian RUclipsr and I’ve been looking at those for a while but now I have a slightly more affordable model. Thanks 😁
First, I love the channel and your authenticity but I would not buy either one . I am probably the only one or very few amount of people that thinks that GATs and are hideous . Not sure what it about them that is off for me. Maybe it is the toe box. Not sure what people see in them as far as fashion. Maybe they're just really comfortable.
Why spend more when you can get the same look for considerably less? If one is into conspicuous branding for the sake of flossing and can afford the price, then go for it. I'd rather keep a few bills in my wallet.
not that its worth $300 dollar more but the Margiela definitly looks better imo.. better shape and sole.. that ankle opening is huge on the Cabell.. for the price I perfer the addidas verison honestly
Oliver cabell is just junk. Made in Spain? Really? Why Spain? Doesn’t mean anything really. Quality Control is bad. The best craftsmen are in Indonesia.
Sorry but they don't beat the MMs. They are nice but the MMs are the gold standard. I've never worn a more comfortable casual shoe. And "branding" on the tongue isn't even visible lol. How much did Oliver Cabell pay you for this disingenuous take?
Margielas 100%, Quality, colorways, the good discount price the brand it self is next level with the creativity. Oliver Cabel is a big no for me, in the first place why can they make a shoe that looks so much like the Margielas? I mean Adidas dior etc they have more difference in detail but oliver is for me a big Copycat.
It's not expensive. If you want Margiela, you buy Margiela. Also, Margiela's replica's line is as it says "replicas" of vintage looks. Get it right. Learn.
*APOLOGIES FOR THE RASPY VOICE GUYS! I’m getting over a cold 😓*
hey love your content! could you do like brands on waterproof/rain jacket similar to ie stone island.
This right now, it is the best fashion channel going. Unfortunately, when it comes to tmf and alpha m, they're just going downhill 2 ads in some recent videos, crazy. But with devan he's keeping it original, catering to everyone and I love it.
Hey I really appreciate that. Much love man
Tmf and alpha really don’t know shit
I’m not about flexing. I’m about supporting these direct to consumer brands! Great info Devan!
Boom! We’re on the same page brother

Glad you liked the video Kayenng! (flexibility over flexing every time!)

Yeah lots of guys are saying that in the comments. 👌🏾👌🏾
I love those adidas’s you showed off

Very true. Thanks for the comment Stephen
The distressed replica Margiela's are pretty cool, and the lining is a bit better. OC's definitely better for the price though.
Who makes better GAT? Olive Cabell or Beckett Simonon? Please let me know
I’ve never tried B.S. but my O.C. Pairs are still going strong
A quick tip for everyone, the german military has the same shoe as their indoor sport shoe. But you get those for 50 euro. Called "Bundeswehr Sportschuhe Halle". And they are off really good quality
So how u liked oliver gats ? Good value for money /how long those last ?
i'll still get the margiela, cause you can find some way under retail when they go on sale or on grailed. plus if i get bored of them, i can still sell them and get some of my money back if not majority of it due to the brands name. imo its a better investment.
Best menswear youtuber no cap❤
Yoooo thanks for that
How's sizing?
I’m a huge fan of Oliver Cabell. I have 6 pairs of their shoes! Greta video.
Is there a website in Canada?
🔥Another banger video 🔥
Thanks fam!
i dont know about how it is in the rest of the world, but where i live in australia nobody recognizes margielas or the margiela numbers shoe tongue thing. so its not really much of a flex. i can say however that the leather quality really top notch and cant really be compared to OC
Margs still better tho. But interesting
Why do you think they’re better?
@@DevanOnDeck leather inside seems softer to me. Finishing seems smoother. But not worth the difference in proce to me.
I have them both.
Margiela are more comfortable.
The smoothiest sneakers
I’ll add to this bc I have a pair of these replicas, I can also add that it’s calf skin and lamb skin so the leather is incomparable
Beckett and Simonon makes them as well they look good thinking about getting them
Nice 👌🏾👌🏾
You can find Margiela GATs on Grailed for 250-300
Ok
Justin Wu there’re so many fake out there
Oh nooo! The secret is out now. My fav sneaker company.
Boom 💪🏾💪🏾
I just got my Beckett Simonon GATs that are nearly identical today! $150 retail but got for $120 with code! Fullgrain calfskin and suede and also full leather lining in same white with light gray uppers and gum soles!
Ordinarily Dapper I ALSO got these same sneakers through Beckett Simonon today. And they saved me $80 from getting them at Oliver. Phewww
@@EscobarStyle Never heard of the brand until now // where are they made?
DevanOnDeck they manufacture from Colombo and Portugal. I have 2 pairs of boots from them and it’s 🔥. Need a discount code Devan? I got you my friend 🤘🏼
These are $89 today with coupon.
Simonon’s are super well regarded, as another note. Direct competitor to Oliver Cabell/Greats/M Gemi/Axel Arigato
Woah that's actually a pretty interesting break down of that shoe's history. Never knew about any of that 👌
I do my best to be through Fred
Been looking for gats thank you❤❤
You’re welcome
I'm ok with my Adidas, I can see the quality with the margielas" Replica" granted I dont like the price ,but the other alternative is risky because I cant put them in hand or on feet until I purchase them
Where can I find the Adidas version?
Google 👌🏾
Just peeped you like Duckwrth. I knew I liked you haha.
Anyway, could you do something similar for the Balenciaga sock sneakers? They look dope but cost $$$$
Haha yeah that’s like my brother
Great video idea 👌🏾
OC would be my choice forget the hype
If you know where to look you can find an original pair of GAT's in like new condition for under $100. I took a chance and bought a pair from a military surplus store for $40 and the pair that was sent to me was like new never and never issued but I bought a second pair from them and that second pair was beat to hell so I returned it so its kind of a gamble.
It would be awesome to find a pair of new vintage GAT sneakers. How are they holding up now?
DevanOnDeck they’re holding well, the build quality on them surprisingly is pretty good.
DevanOnDeck if you want a vintage pair and you don’t mind having it ship from Germany then this seller looks promising. www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-BUNDESWEHR-SPORTSCHUHE-SAMBA-BW-LAUFSCHUHE-SNEAKER-HALLENSCHUHE-WEIs-/390486579142?skus=Größe:45|Zustand:sehr%20gut%20(wenig%20Abnutzungen)&varId=660095989010
That video was really helpful. I’m an aspiring fashion historian RUclipsr and I’ve been looking at those for a while but now I have a slightly more affordable model. Thanks 😁
Boom! Glad I could help
DevanOnDeck what do you mean by boom?
Meant to put an exclamation point not a question mark haha (just edited it)
As a broke 3rd world country guy: The Adidas GAT's are my thing. 😂😂😂😂
Nice
You could always just get the adidas and exacto knife the rubber adidas part and and destitch the tongue logo
Thanks bro for keeping it *100* and giving us your true honest opinion even if it *was* “sponsored” I know I could trust your opinion either way! 🙌🏼
No prob Josh! What's your go-to sneaker? Are you boots only?
DevanOnDeck I do mess with sneaks to and my current go-to is Greats.
I got a og pair from the 70s and their amazing
Damn thanks for putting me on to those. I might actually give them a shot. Only thing holding me back for now is the sole tho
Sure thing. Here’s a discount code if you decided to pull the trigger:
"DOD15" For $15 Off
(I don’t get any payment from this btw)
Copped a Christmas present 🔥🔥
Thanks for the info. Hope you start feeling better.
Thanks Timothy
Loving the videos this channel will soon grow. Can we get another video on wide fit pants or different pant in general.
Yeah I'd be down to make a video on that again! great idea
I have original GAT's from German army,new for 40$ in shop(here in Europe).You have too big prices .
Ok
What about comfort
Top notch
Good vid👍
Thank you
Why not just buy the original vintage pair of bw-sport 290 they go for $50-$100 on grailed and ebay
hey i can’t find them what exactly should i search?
The Adidas ones are far better looking ones. They really nailed the angles on the toe box suede and the branding is invisible. You're too purist.
lol these look just like margiellas gonna have to cop
First, I love the channel and your authenticity but I would not buy either one . I am probably the only one or very few amount of people that thinks that GATs and are hideous . Not sure what it about them that is off for me. Maybe it is the toe box. Not sure what people see in them as far as fashion. Maybe they're just really comfortable.
Thanks for the kind words. I respect your opinion 100%
why zara is making chanel like jacket at 1/10 the price? if u wanna buy these, buy the margiela, or just buy the adidas gat, not these
yo bro Adidas were the one who created OG for army sneakers way back then..
They never claimed it, look it up. It was the brothers that founded puma & Adidas. But it’s a mystery on who gets the credit
New Subscriber here great video Devan
Thanks Jay
New subscriber here love your shit bro
Thanks Gee
#HistoryLesson #DroppingGems #HowToNotBecomeAHypeBeast Thank you Devan. These are great alternatives to the Margielas.
Thanks Herve
Personally I would rather flex the fact that I know how to style clothes I see from the thrift shop 😎
Exactly! same here
🥰❣️ great video.... I want him to flex the Margiela
Hey thanks!
i actually have the gat’s hehe
Great video
Thank you
You dont have to be a hypebeast to know that Margiela makes the best GATs, period
For what reason?
quality and construcion, also they perfected every detail that i hate on cheaper versions of gats, and durability
You are just dumb.
Why spend more when you can get the same look for considerably less? If one is into conspicuous branding for the sake of flossing and can afford the price, then go for it. I'd rather keep a few bills in my wallet.
Same here brother
Great video comparing the sneakers. I’d definitely choose Oliver Cabell. There was no mention of a difference in quality so why not save $300!!
great video!
about to buy my first pair
Adidas is the original maker for the German army.
You sure about that? bit.ly/2KqGkUH
But margiela are 100% calf skin
No.
not that its worth $300 dollar more but the Margiela definitly looks better imo.. better shape and sole.. that ankle opening is huge on the Cabell.. for the price I perfer the addidas verison honestly
Thanks for the honestly Xavier
Just get margielas on sale lol
Nah I’m OK😂
DevanOnDeck $300 for a quality shoe is fair imo
Bruh, is that your company?
Nope, I’m just deep in the sneaker culture and study up a lot
@@DevanOnDeck good idea though ;)
Oliver cabell is just junk. Made in Spain? Really? Why Spain? Doesn’t mean anything really. Quality Control is bad. The best craftsmen are in Indonesia.
Ok
This direct to consumer is nonsense.
Ok
Sorry but they don't beat the MMs. They are nice but the MMs are the gold standard. I've never worn a more comfortable casual shoe.
And "branding" on the tongue isn't even visible lol. How much did Oliver Cabell pay you for this disingenuous take?
Margiela >
Spending too much money
Different strokes, b.
300 for a sneaker? Hell to the no 👎🏽
Margielas 100%, Quality, colorways, the good discount price the brand it self is next level with the creativity. Oliver Cabel is a big no for me, in the first place why can they make a shoe that looks so much like the Margielas?
