Finding the Perfect Alchemy Between Comfort, Style, and Elegance to Create the Best Cashmere Sneaker Capsule

We are delighted to introduce our latest fusion of comfort, style, and elegance with the debut of the first-ever GOBI cashmere sneakers. As a premier Mongolian label dedicated to creating sustainable cashmere for all people and for all occasions, we’ve taken our five decades of expertise in cashmere production to craft a footwear experience like no other.

In our quest to redefine luxury and deliver affordable cashmere that never sacrifices quality and comfort for style and price, we have come to understand that this promise can and should extend beyond our existing apparel and accessory collections, ensuring our customer’s needs are covered head to toe. After working behind the scenes for several years, we are proud to share our latest innovation – the application of our signature cashmere onto a timelessly elegant sneaker that pairs as well with a tailored suit as it does with a pair of your favorite jeans, a classic cashmere sweater, or a tee.

Designed with timeless sophistication, versatility, and comfort top of mind, the debut GOBI Cashmere sneaker capsule includes a low-top and a high-top option, available in three captivating colorways for Fall 2023 – slate gray, sand, and navy blue.

The Pinnacle of Comfort

At GOBI Cashmere, we have been committed to mastering the art of comfort for decades. Our latest footwear creation is the embodiment of this expertise, applied to a completely new kind of product. Carefully selected cashmere fibers, incredibly thin yet remarkably durable, create a soft, lightweight shoe that envelops your feet in a cocoon of luxury. Each step becomes a testament to the indulgent pleasure of wearing cashmere, offering a level of comfort rarely experienced in footwear.

We believe that luxury should not compromise comfort, and our cashmere sneakers are further proof of this philosophy. From the moment you try them on, you will feel the gentle embrace of cashmere cradling your feet in pure bliss. The natural softness and delicate touch of cashmere create an unmatched sensation that elevates the act of walking to an extraordinary experience.

Beyond aesthetics, the GOBI cashmere sneaker is designed with our customer’s well-being in mind. The innovative insole, composed of eco-polyurethane with 15% recycled algae sourced from lakes, ensures a personalized fit and optimal moisture absorption. This thoughtful design not only provides unparalleled comfort, but also reduces environmental impact, allowing you to walk with a sense of purpose and pride.

The adaptability of the insole means that with each step, it molds itself to the unique contours of your feet, providing a custom fit that enhances comfort and support. Whether strolling through city streets, hiking in the wilderness, or simply enjoying a leisurely day at home, GOBI’s cashmere sneakers become an extension of your individuality, ensuring an experience like no other.

Sustainability Embodied

At GOBI Cashmere, sustainability is woven into every fabric of our brand. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices extends beyond our cashmere production and is reflected in every aspect of our cashmere sneaker capsule.

Emphasizing the use of natural and sustainable materials, our sneakers epitomize the essence of ethical fashion. The 100% cashmere "Felton" drape and wool lining not only guarantee comfort, but also reflect our dedication to sourcing materials that leave a lighter impact on the environment. By opting for cashmere, a renewable and biodegradable fiber, we celebrate nature's bounty while ensuring a sustainable future.

The base of our cashmere sneaker features a green EVA outsole made from 20% sugarcane, further reducing our ecological footprint. Innovative and eco-conscious, the insole of our sneakers is composed of eco-polyurethane made with 15% recycled algae sourced from lakes. This remarkable material not only protects the environment but also provides moisture absorption and odor control.

Moreover, our commitment to sustainability extends to the packaging of our cashmere sneakers. Each pair is packaged in 100% organic cotton dust bags placed within boxes made of recycled paper. With each purchase, you become part of the solution, supporting a brand that cherishes the environment as much as you do.

Crafting with Purpose

At GOBI Cashmere, craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. Each piece is meticulously crafted into an exceptional product that reflects the rich heritage of Mongolian cashmere. The fusion of ancient techniques with modern innovation results in a shoe that transcends trends, promising both enduring style and lasting quality.

Our artisans, trained in the art of cashmere production, bring their expertise to every step of the production process. From selecting the finest cashmere fibers from our local herders, to crafting each stitch with precision, they infuse each pair with passion and dedication. The result is a masterpiece that embodies the artistry and ingenuity of Mongolian craftsmanship.

Beyond the surface, the craftsmanship of our cashmere sneakers ensures each shoe can withstand the test of time. The durable construction and meticulous attention to detail ensure that each pair will become a fundamental part of your journey through life.
