##Fabriqué à la main en Italie Situé à Corridonia, en Italie, se trouve un petit atelier familial qui fabrique des chaussures exceptionnelles avec un accent sur la qualité et la construction depuis 1905. L'excellence en cordonnerie est une obsession et une quête sans fin qui s'étend sur trois générations de cette famille. Alors que les compétences se transmettent de génération en génération, il y a une insistance à rester en phase avec les évolutions technologiques pour s'assurer que les deux mondes, ancien et nouveau, sont toujours respectés afin d'atteindre la plus haute qualité, les chaussures les plus confortables et les plus durables. Actuellement dirigé par la petite-fille du fondateur, il était clair dès notre première interaction que cette équipe de maîtres comprenait parfaitement notre raison d'être chez Archibald et saisissait l'opportunité de travailler avec nous et de permettre à plus de personnes de découvrir la différence que leur expertise et leur savoir-faire peuvent faire en termes de produit final.

Craftsmanship

##Un veau pleine fleur italien d'une douceur suprême, spécialement adapté, approvisionné localement, et un daim tanné végétalement sont utilisés ensemble pour former la tige non doublée, qui est ensuite cousue à une semelle Lactae Hevea. Le veau pleine fleur promet un mélange unique de confort, de protection et de longévité dès le premier port. Le cuir plus souple, non doublé, s'adapte à votre pied presque immédiatement et offre un niveau de confort et de qualité inégalé, comme on l'attendrait d'une sneaker utilitaire polyvalente comme celle-ci. Les semelles Lactae Hevea fabriquées en France sont remarquablement confortables grâce à la microstructure de minuscules bulles d'air qui se forment lorsque la semelle est fabriquée à partir du lait d'hévéa vierge — une alchimie subtile de tradition et de modernité.

Material

Les itérations de la GAT ne manquent pas à tous les prix, mais cette pièce iconique excelle lorsqu'elle est imaginée par un véritable artisan.

La silhouette iconique prend véritablement tout son sens en tant qu'incontournable du vestiaire lorsqu'elle est réimaginée par un maître cordonnier qui insiste pour ne la donner vie qu'avec les matériaux les plus nobles. La GAT est un style qui a défié les tendances et est devenu emblématique en tant que pièce classique, confortable et décontractée – il est donc tout à fait logique qu'elle soit fabriquée en privilégiant la qualité, la durabilité et le confort !

The German Army Trainer in Light Camel — a warm, golden-toned take on the GAT, one of the most storied silhouettes in sneaker history. Ours is, one might say quite oddly, handmade in Corridonia, Italy. But then, whilst who makes the superior sports car is still a debate, the Germans will always concede that the Italians do shoes better. The GAT's origins span feuding brothers (who went on to found Adidas and Puma), a lucrative Bundeswehr contract, and a 1970s revival by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. The Archibald version is built on a Margom sole, cut from Italian calfskin in a rich camel tone that nods to the shoe's military roots, and hand-stitched by a family-run atelier — then offered at a price that makes the whole thing feel slightly unfair to everyone else.

Handcrafted in Italy

Located in Corridonia, Italy is a small family owned and operated atelier that has been making exceptional footwear with a focus on quality and construction since 1905. Excellence in shoemaking has been an obsession and never-ending quest that has spanned three generations of this family. As skills are passed from generation to generation there is an insistence to remain in-touch with developments in technology to ensure that both worlds, old and new are always respected in order to achieve the highest quality, most comfortable and longest lasting purpose built shoes. Currently led by the granddaughter of the founder, it was clear from our first interaction that this team of masters fully understood our raison d'etre at Archibald and relished an opportunity to work with us and allow more people to experience the difference their expertise and craft can make in terms of end-product.

Product Material

A supremely soft, specialist purpose-fit locally sourced Italian calfskin and vegetable-tanned suede are used together to form the unlined upper which is then stitched to a Lactae Hevea sole.

The calfskin promises a unique blend of comfort, protection and longevity from the moment you wear them. The softer, unlined leather acclimates to your foot almost immediately and provides an unparalleled level of comfort and quality that one would expect from a multipurpose utility sneaker such as this. The French-made Lactae Hevea soles are outstandingly comfortable thanks to the microstructure of tiny air bubbles that form as the sole is made from the virgin hevea milk - a subtle alchemy of tradition and modernity.

There is no shortage of iterations of the GAT available at every price point, but the iconic piece excels when imagined by a true artisan.

The iconic silhouette really comes into it's own as a wardrobe staple when re-imagined by a master shoemaker who insists to only bring it to life using the finest materials. The GAT is a style that has defied trends and become emblematic as a classic, comfortable and casual piece so it only makes sense that it is made with quality, lasting wear and comfort prioritised!
