Yes, I was introduced to the German Army trainer style by Margiela, just like so many other fashion nerds. But, as it is our fashion-nerd job to know, Margiela only popularized the style – they didn’t invent it. So I’m always up to check out other brand’s iterations. These Morgen Trainers from Beckett Simonon are an especially nice take, with their full-grain leather and water-repellent suede upper. And, as with all things Beckett Simonon, the unbelievable price of $149 is a total dealmaker. Three colors are available.
