GAT MINIMAL

The upper is the foundation of a shoe, and the materials used are crucial. In this iteration of the brand's classic training shoe silhouette, we have removed the inner lining, allowing the foot to directly experience the comfort of the leather, resulting in this minimalist single-layer leather training shoe—the GAT MINIMAL. Premium calfskin is selected as the primary material for the upper, featuring natural grain patterns while maintaining softness, providing a barefoot-like wearing experience.

UPPER: BOVINE LEATHER

OUTSOLE:RUBBER

• Single-layer leather design
  The upper material is crafted from soft, smooth single-layer leather, featuring a naturally wrinkled texture that hugs the foot like a second skin. The design prioritizes comfort and functionality, offering a lightweight, gentle fit without excessive embellishment, striking a balance between everyday practicality and sophisticated elegance.
• Folded Craftsmanship
  The shoe body is made from top-grain cowhide leather, with brand-classic stitching detailing connecting the folded leather design to enhance overall aesthetic appeal. The folded craftsmanship requires the leather to be flattened after folding, demanding high-quality leather with minimal coating thickness. Therefore, only lightly treated or minimally coated leather is used.
• Vegetable-Tanned Leather Support
  The arch area features the brand's classic vegetable-tanned leather support design, which not only reflects the brand's aesthetic but also provides better support and stability for the midfoot.
