The history of the German Army Trainer (GAT) is a disputed one. What’s certain though is that it was designed for indoor training of the German armed forces in the 1970s. The rubber sole for traction and an all leather body for comfort made the shoe the perfect fit for indoor training exercises. Later, as so many other pieces, the design found its way from military into fashion. PUMA is re-issuing today this vintage icon from its archives keeping its simple and timeless appeal which is what makes the PUMA Army Trainer such an enduring style. This execution is a leather upper with a suede toe overlay staying true to the original.
