Novesta GAT Summer (Black)

The GAT Summer by Novesta is much more than just a retro sneaker – it is a piece of contemporary history with a new, sustainable take on it. With this model, Novesta is bringing back a revamped version of the legendary German Army Trainer, which not only impresses with its style, but also sets new standards in terms of production and choice of materials.

Novesta originally designed the GAT – short for German Army Trainer – as a training shoe for the German Armed Forces. What many people don't know is that in the 1980s, adidas had this classic indoor sports shoe produced in what was then Czechoslovakia – a paradox in the midst of the Cold War, which Novesta now picks up on with a wink. The historic production facility where the GAT was manufactured back then is still in operation today and now belongs to Novesta.

Novesta has reinterpreted the GAT for the summer edition of this classic: with lightweight, breathable materials and a minimalist design, the GAT Summer offers a fresh, summery take on the original. Instead of heavy leather, breathable textile fabric, certified organic cotton, and natural rubber are used – all materials that are not only environmentally friendly but also comfortable to wear.

Each pair is handmade by Novesta, which is evident in the characteristic rubber coating along the sole, a sign of durability and character. The natural rubber sole ensures flexibility and grip, while the clean design of the Novesta GAT Summer goes well with both sporty and urban outfits.

With the GAT Summer, Novesta remains true to its philosophy: traditional craftsmanship meets timeless aesthetics and sustainable materials. So if you're looking for a classic with history that also stands out in the present with its style and environmental awareness, you'll find the perfect companion for warm days in Novesta's GAT Summer – made in Europe, with heart and attitude.
