I have never really been much of a fan of cargo pants at any point in my life. I did have cargo shorts back in the day, but never pants - at least that I wore. Even with Engineered Garments making a subtle cargo pant, I am extremely hesitant to like them at all. I think both the North American stigma as well as the pure look of them will probably prevent me from every wearing any. However. I have noticed a couple pairs of pants in the Japanese market that have a version with relocated pockets. While I would still be hesitant to jump into a pair, I have to say they look a lot more appealing on the model worn with an oxford and rolled up with some boots. I could however do without the white paint spot treatment, but I am definitely a lot less opposed to this look. I'm curious if many folks in the North American market are going to be accepting the style into their wardrobe.

Take a chance!
They look quite nice if you play around with an outfit
I suppose it looks ok... but my gut tells me this look is going to get bastardized faster than flip-flops with euro-trash denim... Remember what happened to the hardy's snopants?! Thanks Jennifer n' Brad... ruined hardy's label for LIFE.
Terrible ...
seriously; how much shit do you need to carry around in your pants?
^not enough to wear those. I do think the center seems to be the best option based on fit but they are just a little too intense for everydaywear. Although, it may be acceptable to wear those for a paintball match or a day to work outside in. But that also depends on the price.
The paint splatter ones are inspired by usmc "monkey pants" , so not really a new look, but looks great imo. I got a pair of german army cargos myself I´ll wear with dirty bucks this spring.
