Gym Classic Blackmono
The Moonstar Gym Classic Blackmono is a Japanese-made canvas sneaker built using traditional vulcanised construction in Kurume, Japan — the heart of Japanese rubber footwear production. With decades of shoemaking expertise behind every pair, Moonstar focuses on precision, durability, and everyday function.
The Blackmono colourway delivers a fully tonal black design — black canvas upper paired with a matching black rubber sole — creating a clean and understated look. Originally inspired by classic indoor gym shoes, the silhouette remains minimal and purpose-driven, with a slightly higher foxing tape and balanced proportions.
The slow vulcanisation process ensures a flexible yet hard-wearing sole that moves naturally with the foot. Compared to mass-produced sneakers, this method results in stronger bonding between upper and sole, improving long-term durability and comfort.
Subtle detailing and careful finishing reflect Moonstar’s commitment to craftsmanship rather than excess design. Fully made in Japan, the Gym Classic Blackmono is a versatile, reliable everyday sneaker built to last.
