Maison Margiela Replica treainer is a reinvented version of GAT, or German Army Trainer. The silhouette’s roots extend back to the 1970s, long before the Belgian designer Martin Margiela was parading sneakers down runways. Used during the Cold War, the German Army produced the shoe primarily for indoor training. There's a lot of mystery behind this silhouette. According to the most popular theory, the German army commissioned brothers Adi and Rudolf Dassler, who respectively founded Adidas and PUMA, to create a shoe for the military. Although it remains unclear which label actually made the shoes. GAT caught the eye of Martin Margiela in Austria in 1996 so much so that he included it for the first time in his 1999 Artisanal line. Since then Replica sneakers became an undisputed classic of women's and men's wardrobe. Size chart: EU.
