In our wide range of sneakers, we have three model types, all of which have their background in some of the most classic sneaker models ever created.
Our trainers are based on classic running shoes from the 70s and 80s, with their straight sole underside and wide toe box. In the 90s, the shoe type was made a fashion icon mainly by representatives of the early American rap scene.
Our runners are inspired by another type of running shoe from the 70s, such as the Brooks Vanguard and similar models. With a streamlined silhouette, minimalist pattern and pure sole design - a timeless shoe.
GAT - German Army Trainers - was developed in the 70s for the German army, as the name suggests. The classic original model features white smooth leather and light suede, we also have other delicious variants.
Like all our premium trainers, the shoes are made to really high specifications. They have chrome-free smooth leather and / or fine calf suede, inside completely covered with vegetable tanned leather that breathes in the best way, heel caps in salpa / leather board that mould to the foot (instead of plastic which is standard), midsole in real leather (instead of cardboard or fabric felt which is otherwise used by almost everyone else), and so on. Price 1 599 SEK.
Below are some of the variants of trainers, runners and GATs, the full range can be found here.)
