Additional information:
Introduced in the 1970s by the Dassler brothers and manufactured for the German Army. These vintage army trainers have been the source of inspiration for many brands and designers, not to mention Martin Margiela.
Don't forget that the shoes are from the 1970s, meaning at least 40 years old. Since the sole is glued on to the shoe, there is a chance that the sole has to be re-glued in order to be able to wear them for years to come. We check all shoes before sending them, but sometimes, unfortunately, the sole loosens up. But don't worry, its a easy fix for any shoemaker on the corner. Otherwise, the sole itself is pretty much impossible to tear.
