Teva is best known for sport sandals that let your toes experience the great outdoors firsthand. But in the early 2000s, it also made the Gamma, an approach shoe inspired by footwear worn en route to climbing spots. Now, it has returned as the NeoGamma Leather Shoe.
Reworked for everyday wear, it retains the original’s low-profile silhouette, suede upper, archival stitching, bungee closure, and climbing-shoe-inspired wraparound outsole. A contoured, cold-molded EVA footbed keeps the thin profile comfortable, while the canyon-inspired outsole uses 50% recycled rubber.
The Teva NeoGamma Leather Shoe is available in the U.S. for US$130. It is available for both men and women.
It probably will not help you climb anything, but you will look prepared if the journey to the café becomes unexpectedly technical. As a bonus, it looks absolutely dope! I mean, you didn’t think this pair of kicks just appeared here on Mikeshouts.com for no reason? 😄
