Der Sammler is an original brand by designer Kinji Teramoto. Translating to “the collector” Der Sammler focuses on reproducing hard-to-find vintage pieces from Teramoto-San’s personal collection. By using original production methods and high quality materials these reproductions live up to their coveted status among fellow collectors. The BW Gym Shoes are a reproduction of German military trainers used from the 1970s to 1990s to every detail (down to the same factory that produced the original model). These 100% calf leather trainers feature tonal suede accents, a rubber sole and are complete with a leather insole that will mold to your foot over time.
