Reproduction of Found ("ROF") is a brand of the Japanese group Eye Found Co. Ltd established in 2016.

The primary goal of the brand is to reproduce footwear and sneakers from the 1950s to the 1990s. It specializes in training sneakers from various world armies: Canadian, French, American, German, British, and Russian.

This model is a reinterpretation of the iconic German Army Trainer, often abbreviated as GAT. The origins of this model date back to the 1970s, when the German federal army ("Bundeswehr" or "BW") wanted to order half a million sneakers durable enough for the intensive training of its battalions. Two major German brands competed for this contract: Adidas and Puma.

The model as we know it did come into existence, but the archives of the time do not clarify which company originated it, and the mystery remains unsolved to this day, with the narratives of the various participants continuing to feed the legend.

This version offered by ROF retains the design of the upper part, crafted in luxurious Italian Nappa suede leather with a soft, padded fabric lining that provides unique comfort. The sole, however, differs from the original, here replaced by a vulcanized rubber skateboard sole for increased durability. The spirit of skateboard shoes is reflected through the volume of the sneaker, excellent cushioning, and optimal grip. The models offered by ROF are among the best reproductions of the kind and offer great durability paired with immediate comfort.

Reproduction Of Found sneakers are true to size. You can choose your usual size. If you are between two sizes, opt for the larger size.
