[Now Available at ASBee] Gorilla Face Stimulates Your Soles?! Launching 'Gorilla's Barefoot,' the First Footwear Item from the Viral 'Gorilla Series'

Health sandals that stimulate the soles: 'Gorilla's Barefoot'

Doshisha Corporation (Headquarters: Osaka, President: Masayuki Nomura), a company engaged in the planning, development, and sales of lifestyle-related products, will begin selling the 'Gorilla's Barefoot' health sandals, designed to stimulate the soles of the feet, at ASBee and Green Box stores starting in late May 2026.

[Development Background] 'Gorilla's Barefoot' is a product from the 'Gorilla Series,' which meets real-world needs through 'impact design' and 'fun spice.' In recent years, health-conscious sandals like recovery sandals have become a hot topic on social media, especially among the younger generation, leading to increased demand for functional, easy-to-wear sandals. Therefore, the company planned this product, thinking about creating a health-focused sandal from the 'Gorilla Series,' which also includes health appliances like the 'Gorilla's One-Grip.' This product is a new type of sandal that provides a pleasant stimulation to the soles with every step, thanks to the 3D gorilla face on the insole and the unique, bumpy, fluffy design applied to the entire product. Although this product was sold in limited stores starting in April 2025, its unique appearance became a topic on social media, leading to this new launch at ASBee and Green Box.

[Features] ◆ Impactful appearance with a fully fluffy design Not only the insole but also the outsole and upper parts feature a bumpy design that looks like a collection of spheres, creating an unprecedented 3D effect. ◆ 'Hidden Gorilla' stimulates the soles In the center of the insole, a 3D gorilla face is placed, designed to be about 5mm higher than other bumps. It firmly stimulates the soles with every step. ◆ Lightweight and soft material Adopting EVA material with excellent shock absorption and elasticity, it is lightweight and soft despite its voluminous look, making it easy to use daily without feeling burdened even during long-term use. ◆ 4 colors including summer-like shades Available in 4 colors: basic black, gray, and white, plus a cool, summer-like mint green.

[About the Gorilla Series] The 'Gorilla Series,' which has exceeded 3 million units in cumulative sales, is developed under three different concepts: 'Gorilla High Power Series' (health/beauty appliances), 'Gori-Oshi Project' (daily goods), and 'Gorilla Relax' (bedding items).
