@OrlandoMo ready to jump on the HW-01 in green suede. I'm curious, is there any plan for GAT sneakers?

You read our mind ? we are currently waiting for a first prototype to come in from our artisan... Lactae Hevea soles, very soft calfskin and suede from a tannery in Tuscany, slip-lasting construction. Will get You some pictures as soon as they reach our HQ.

I know this is not original GAT design but will the sole be stiched to the upper instead of being cemented? I feel like that will help with the durability..

Yes! We are working with a different construction that will make the shoe very elastic and technically easier to resole

I was super decided on what model I wanted and then you dropped the pebbled one in front of me....
Btw the upward curve is part of the last or is it only of these prototypes?

Hi there, so I think we don't quite understand what you mean by the upward curve. These are the final shoe but I wonder if you have spotted something we are missing or it is simply how the photographer shot them.

oh. I was referring to the upward curving of the toe box. If you see the photos from the side or the one shooter at an angle you can see how the point of the shoe is lifted noticeable bit. But Maybe is just me, I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it.

Hi, just following up on my last post. Still unable to place the burgundy calfskin in my cart, nor am I able to select it or view the gallery of it. Issue persists on both my Android phone and Windows laptop using chrome

Really sorry, I know it's frustrating. The developers are working hard on it, it seems to be some sort of problem we are having right through the site. We'll ping the thread once it's all fixed up

So i had a look and I think it might be the angle the calfskin ones are shot from. If you scroll through the collection it seems the photographer has not been entirely consistent so the angle betrays the eyes and makes it seem it points significantly upwards on certain variants
