Reproduction of Found ("ROF") is a brand from 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 reproducing 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 sneakers durable enough for the intense training of its battalions. Two major German brands, Adidas and Puma, then competed for this contract.

The model we know today did come into existence, but archival records from that time do not clarify which company originated it, and the mystery remains unresolved today, with the narratives of various participants continuing to fuel the legend.

This version offered by ROF retains the design of the upper part, crafted in luxurious Italian Nappa leather with a soft pigskin leather lining. The models offered by ROF are among the best reproductions of the kind and provide great durability combined with immediate comfort.

The models from Reproduction Of Found fit true to size, so you can go with your usual size. If you are between sizes, it is best to choose the larger size.
