The Maison Margiela Replica German Army Trainer (GATs) Black Gum takes a time-honored silhouette inspired by German Army Trainers and blends its heritage mojo with modern-day styling to offer a sleek, elegant, versatile, and comfortable shoe.

This low-riding sneaker features an upper of black leather with padding at the collar. Black suede forms an overlay covering the eyestays, running vertically down the quarter panel, and surrounding the toebox in a T-toe formation. Flat Birch-colored laces match the Birch textile liner that offers breathability and ventilation, making these shoes suitable for any weather or outside temperature. The branded Birch insole offers cushioning, as well as arch support. The gum rubber midsole features a textured sidewall, and the gum rubber outsole sports lugs, grooves, and circles in its traction pattern.

The detail we enjoy the most about this pair of sneakers is the black suede heel tab that features two Birch colored stitches. This subtle note lends additional distinction to this pair of kicks.
