We now introduce GATs in four new colors: black, dark brown, burgundy and dark green. Base in calf leather and details in matching calf suede.

The story behind the famous GAT sneaker model is really interesting. In the 70s, the West German army needed new training shoes for their soldiers, a big contract that the two German firms Adidas and Puma were fighting over. Two fierce competitors founded by two brothers, Adidas by Adi Dassler and Puma by Rudolf Dassler.

Curiously, it's said that it was Puma who designed the first GAT sneaker, but for some unknown reason they never produced it, instead it was Adidas who made the original editions for the West German army.

The iconic design and variations of it have since been made by several different manufacturers over the years, most notably popularised by the French Maison Margiela. Our own version, available in several colors, is made in Portugal to the same high standards and with the same great comfort as our other premium sneakers, and has become a real hit.

We now introduce GATs in four new colors: black, dark brown, burgundy and dark green. Base in calf leather and details in matching calf suede. The price of €152 ($134 excl. VAT) is really competitive considering the quality level.
