New Arrival BAT A Gothic-inspired Silhouette with a Hollowed Arch

grounds will sequentially launch its new outsole, "BAT," on August 22, 2026. Unveiled during Paris Fashion Week SS26, the outsole fuses an organic silhouette evocative of a bat’s stride with arch structures reminiscent of Gothic architecture. Items featuring "BAT" will be available through the official online store and flagship stores.


About "BAT"
"BAT" is an outsole defined by a bold arch structure with a total height of approximately 10.5cm. While appearing daringly unstable at first glance, the continuous 3D arches—inspired by Gothic arcades and rib vaults—effectively distribute weight to strike a perfect balance between high stability and a forward-propelling walking sensation. Geometric textures reminiscent of a spacecraft, a mysterious presence akin to a living creature's skeleton, and a structural beauty echoing medieval architecture. The Phylon sole is detailed with CPU components and rubber parts resembling the bases of architectural pillars, giving shape to a complex design where future and past, organic and artificial, intersect.


BAT GREEDO
By placing bold plastic parts on the knit upper, the boundary between upper and outsole is blurred, transforming the shoe into a singular sculptural creation.
