On October 9, Doshisha announced "Moss Green," a limited color of its sandal "Gorilla no Hadashi" (Gorilla Barefoot). It has been on sale since early October at Don Quijote group stores, Apita and Piago, and select Olympic stores.
A sandal with round bumps on both the inside and outside
"Gorilla no Hadashi" is a series released in April 2026. Not only the insole but also the upper and outsole feature bumps that look like a cluster of spheres.
In the center of the insole is a three-dimensional gorilla face. It is designed to stand about 5 mm higher than the other bumps so that it touches the sole of the foot. The material is EVA, giving it a resilient, one-piece design.
New color Moss Green in three sizes, 22 to 25 cm
The color added this time is Moss Green. Together with the existing limited color purple, black and gray, the series as a whole comes in four colors, according to the announcement.
Moss Green comes in three sizes, S, M and L. S is about 22.0 to 23.0 cm, M about 23.0 to 24.0 cm and L about 24.0 to 25.0 cm. The weight of one foot in size M is about 240 g.
