If that in fact is a Bates boot in UCP that is being brought to market “soon”, I would hate to be on the product development team at Bates. They are going to have some real explaining to do!
But similarly, I was shocked to meet with a material vendor yesterday (from one of the largest domestic material companies in the country) and he had no idea that UCP was being phased out. Which explains why he is the only vendor that currently has Berry Compliant UCP and Foliage Green materials…
It’s got no discernable tread pattern and the lace holes aren’t reinforced, so I’m guessing they’re hi-topped sneakers, maybe it’s the only way to get rid of all that nasty digital pattern they have on the shelves
AOR mid-tops?
I thought UCP was dead. Long live UCP?
It’s a UCP boot.
For SMA Dailey to douse in JP8, then burn on 14 JUN 15.
“This is what an out-of regulation boot looks like in an obsolete camo pattern. Burn baby, burn.”
This is a skate shoe for hipster doofuses wearing Che Guevara t-shirts who have no idea what JP8 is, but would ride a ramp doused in it…
Wait, are you saying 14Jun15 is the date we can start rocking OCP?
NO. I’m guessing. My best guess and $6.25 gets you a latte over at Pentagon City. I don’t stay at Holiday Inns but I troll this site.

14 JUN to 1 JUL is a tight flash-to-bang but do-able for the beginning of a protracted implementation.

That’s a picture.
Could it be AOR or MARPAT, but the picture is just black and white?
Pretty sure your AOR guess is right.
Just getting in some UCP jokes while it’s still a thing.

+1 on the sneakers
LoL Timbuk2 and Inside Line Design are doing hipster bags in UCP Cordura they no doubt sourced for a nickel on the dollar.
If Bates is actually using surplus UCP, I hope they aren’t hoping to sell that crap as “weekend wear” to anyone in uniform…
Looks like Shiite!
As Roger the Alien famously sings ‘Nooo!’
AOR1 OTB boot.
Hmm… I smell Photoshop.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that its an AOR2 Jungle Boot.
That would actually be pretty schweet.
AOR1 boot. Kind of a product for a niche that doesn’t exist, considering most people who are authorized to wear AOR1 are using COTS products
Those are real boots made by Bates, but they are made for a very specific market and they should already be released or released very shortly.
Canada definitely had this beat with the all CADPAT trial boot.

With the Army testing Marpat, a Marpat jungle boot would be my guess, but it’ s hard to get the orientation of the pattern from the pics.
Those tests are long over.
