Anyone want some Taliban kicks?
Americana Pipedream sells a bunch of military surplus good from all sorts of countries. They recently got a big shipment from Afghanistan that had a bunch of new stock Servis Cheetahs (
along with some unusual pro-USA 9/11 peace prayer rugs).


Servis is a Pakistani brand that released the Cheetah line in the 80's and became pretty popular with everyone including insurgents and the Mujahideen. Then with the War in Afghanistan, the Taliban ordered a bunch of their military forces because they were cheap, comfortable, held up well to abuse, and gave a more uniform appearance. They quickly synonymous with the Taliban and a low key way to signal your allegiance.
Now you can buy a brand new pair for only $99 and avoid cheap knockoffs or any import tariffs. Not gonna lie, I actually like the look of them. It's probably because they haven't changed the design since they were released. As I understand it, they fit very similarly to AF1s
