Gym Classic Dark Navy
The Moonstar Gym Classic Dark Navy is a Japanese-made canvas sneaker produced in Kurume, Japan — a region with a long-standing tradition of vulcanised rubber footwear. Built with precision and experience gained over decades, this model reflects Moonstar’s focus on durability, balance, and everyday functionality.
The Dark Navy colourway pairs a deep navy canvas upper with a matching navy rubber sole, creating a subtle tonal look that feels versatile and easy to wear. Inspired by traditional Japanese indoor gym shoes, the silhouette is clean and purposeful, with carefully considered proportions and a slightly higher foxing tape for added structure.
Using a slow vulcanisation process, each pair develops a flexible yet resilient sole that bonds strongly to the upper. This traditional method enhances durability while allowing the shoe to move naturally with the foot over time.
Made entirely in Japan, the Gym Classic Dark Navy is a dependable everyday sneaker rooted in craftsmanship rather than trends.
