The BW Army in black patent leather is adidas leaning all the way into the luxury lane, wrapping the same German Army Trainer silhouette that supplied the Bundeswehr in the 1970s in a full glossy cracked patent upper for the first time. The result sits directly in the shadow of Maison Margiela’s cult GAT Replica, sharing the same clean T-toecap, panelled construction, leather lining and low profile rubber cupsole, just at a fraction of the price and with arguably more authentic military heritage behind it.
