In August 1961 Camp Irwin, an Armored Combat Training Area located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California, is designated a permanent installation and renamed Fort Irwin. During the Vietnam buildup, many artillery and engineer units will train and deploy from Fort Irwin, the Army’s premier training center.
Our 08/61 Army Issue Sneaker is inspired by the generic, all-purpose sporting footwear worn on base by soldiers in the 1960s. Uppers are made of soft garment-dyed slub twill or Japanese chambray. Twill colors feature a grey/white gingham lining made of organic cotton. Cotton laces are salt-washed for softness. Flat eyelets are antique nickel. Comfort footbed is lined in naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic bamboo canvas to keep your foot dry and odor free. Ribbed calendar outsole is made of long-wearing genuine gum rubber.
