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

The primary goal of the brand is to reproduce footwear and sneakers from the 1950s to the 1990s. It has specialized particularly 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 origin of this model dates back to the 1970s, when the German federal army ("Bundeswehr" or "BW") wanted to order half a million durable sneakers 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 being, but the archives of the time do not allow us to determine which house originated it, and the mystery remains intact today, with the accounts of various participants feeding the legend.

This version offered by ROF retains the design of the upper part, crafted in luxurious Italian Nappa leather with a soft pigskin lining. The outsole, however, differs from the original, here replaced by a vulcanized and stitched Serena rubber sole. The models offered by ROF are among the best reproductions of the type and offer great durability coupled with immediate comfort.
