Gram Patina
Gram A / W 2012 features shoemaking at its best. Footwear engineered from the ground up. Shoes made not only to stand out, but also to be outstanding in every way. Head Designer Alexis Holm has dug deep into his fascination of traditional shoe making and presents a utilitarian collection with strong, striking details like hand stitching and hand-punched hole patterns. Whether you’re buried in a pile of work, hiding in the urban jungle or enjoying some well deserved relaxation, there’s a Gram shoe for you. Raw edge vegetable tanned hides, washed tiger
stripe camouflage, dry coated densely woven canvas and brass trims throughout the whole collection. All framed by a subtly off-white topstitching, paired with artisan brogue details, hand-punched holes and some serious hand stitching. And we were there. The same persons who designed your shoe also bought the fabric, chose the leather, picked the shoelace and wore the shoe. This is our strength and your gain. This is Gram.
Collaboration A / W 2012 — Insjöns Väveri
For SS13 Gram continues it’s unique collaboration with Swedish Royal Court weavers Insjöns Väveri AB. The company was founded in 1947 in post war Sweden by Ivar Holstein. In the town of Insjön in the Dalecarlia region a seven man crew of dedicated craftsmen have been turning out table cloths, runners and serviettes – literary fit for a king – for more than 64 years. The shoe 380g insjön navy runner, features the runner fabric Anette. Anette is a classic kypert weave consisting of extremely heavy duty linen with long fibres, grown on
the windy slopes of mediterranean France and Egyptian cotton, known for its durable, high quality. The mix of linen and cotton makes Anette about 11 times more durable than a fabric made from 100% cotton. The product is refined in Sweden, dyed and weaved, mixing a rugged textured feel with vibrant, cheerful colours. Together with a classic Gram design it creates the perfect derby.
390g New Model
The new release for the A/W12 collection is the 390g. This soon to be a classic Gram shoe is a shoe boot that mixes classic with modern, desert boot with galosh. As a natural progression of a hi-top from the familiar 380g in the Light Weight-line, the 390g offers a comfortable jodphur lace up hybrid with great detail, such as the Norwegian toe stitch. Resting on the same newly developed dura-lite outsole as the 380g with the same durable natural rubber heel. High comfort utilizing a stitch down construction for greater durability and ability to adapt to the shape of your foot, along with superior breathability from the natural leather midsole. This is a shoe to wear a lot, that features anatomical insole, tempered steel shank and a full leather lining. Tigerstripe twill, hand-stitched full grain upper, brass eyelets and hand-punched brogue detailing. Look out for the 390g on the most discerning feet in the autumn of 2012.

352g
The 352g from the VZ line is our take on the oldest of sneaker constructions. We use high quality materials like a fully dampened insole, logo moulded natural rubber outsole and a cow leather toecap to create a very hard-wearing and wearable shoe. For AW12 we combine this with brass eyelets and vents, white stitching and coloured foxing reinforcement in the front and back of the shoe to create that attention to detail Gram impression.
