Do you prefer Black or Brown soles?

Black
I prefer brown for most everything, but for historical reasons black is the obvious choice.
Black
Consensus on my couch right now, black!
Brown
I prefer the brown personally.
Black with the soldier systems logo like the gray ones I wear to the gym
Black for sure! Takes me back to the good days of uniforms the color of plants!
Brown
Black is classic and avoids the brown rubber not matching with the brown in the fabric and laces.
I am the weirdo wanting OD soles for better camo. The brown cap looks fugly. 😉
For retro-80ies black soles of course. What are they going for?
Brown all the way, coyote if an option.

Black, and I’m buying a pair.
I like brown better than I thought I might, but Black for certain. Stoked for Gods Plaid
Brown looks great
Black, definitely black.
Black. Brown could be more practical, but black for the classic look.
Brown looks better, Black for nostalgia. Only logical conclusion? Both!!!
Black, but once you go black, you never go back.
Borat say brown looka like the doo doo, high five!
So they are making skate shoes?
You could wear them skating. After all, guys wear Chucks and Vans on the job.
One of the first rhings I did when these first came out was jump on a longboard and skate around the parking lot at work. I originally wanted them for long hikes for their draining properties but they make great skate shoes for me. 🙂
Brown!
Both looks good to me. Although I completely agree to Joe_K, Brown looks better and Black for nostalgia. I want to say “Why not both?” but as business perspective that won’t be possible, so, I vote for Brown. I want to see OD sole in action though.

Black!
These look so rad!
Brown is more effective.
But black is the right answer, original aesthetic.
I’ll pass altogether. Zero use for them
@ Matt in Oklahoma:
Thanks for your valuable contribution to this comment section! You get a gold star!
Thank goodness a person that won’t buy them is a part of this discussion.
Brown. Time to update the look.
Black will sell better, but that is a look which can be found wearing other brands already, so I say brown.
Is it just the particular cut or are we seeing a brown dominate M81 and a black dominate M81 here? Maybe just random but for sure the brown soles have more brown than black and the black soles have more black than brown.
Black. Love my military morons edition in OD though.
Brown!
Oh sure, the black kinda takes me back to green jungle boot days, but it’s time to move on.
If they were solid OD, the black would definitely win out…Hey that’s a good idea! How about an OD version with black soles?

They already do. You’re welcome.
Black for sure. They should also do a brown version with black soles, and a grey version with black soles.
If you ever wore woodland you would know that BLACK is the only way to go.
Brown
While I prefer the general aesthetic of the black (because nostalgia), the brown is more practical.
Ultimately, I will buy them whichever color they decide to put out.
Black for classic M81 look. Reserve brown for modern “woodland-like” multicam tropic or arid.

Black!
Brown, that way people who want black can just use a sharpie. it wont work the other way around
Black!

Black is how I like my Ops and my Altama’s!
