Margiela might've been at it for half a decade already, but now NYC-based Epaulet has now decided to release its own luxurious take on the the classic German Army Trainer. Handmade in Portugal, Epaulet's Sport Trainers stay remarkably true to the shoe's iconic military roots, updating them for the modern era through a selection of premium materials.
