About Gram

Gram is all about making sophisticated sneakers. We create shoes that fill the gap between sneakers and traditional shoes.

Our roots lie in the Scandinavian design aesthetic; design with clean lines and attention to detail. Each model being unique in its own simplicity.

The brand is centered around the concept of weight, with each shoe being named after its weight in grams.

At Gram we love shoes, in particular shoes you can wear at the office as well as on a night out.

The brand started in 2005 and is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

380g insjön navy runner

Collaboration Spring /summer 2012 — Insjöns Väveri

Page 27: Gram spring/summer 2012

The pride of our s/s 2012 collection and an homage to Swedish handcraft is the shoe 380g insjön navy runner.

A classic 380g shape, fully leather lined and dura-lite outsole with natural rubber heel but

with an upper in the fabric Anette woven by Insjöns Väveri.

Insjöns väveri is a small, family owned, Swedish weavery that’s been producing timeless fabrics and runners since 1947.Their products being of such high quality that they’ve been appointed Supplier of the Swedish Royal Court since 1978.

Relatively alone in the world, they still use old weaving machines from the 1930’s. These beautiful old machines are a condition for being able to copy the several hundreds of years old patterns that they produce.

Anette is a relatively new pattern but a classic krypert weave. Originally a runner fabric - the horizontal stripes of the shoes having to do with the runner fabric being so narrow - it consists of extremely heavy-duty linen with long fibers, 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.
