[Development Background]

"Gorilla's Bare Feet" is a product in the "Gorilla Series," which responds to real-world needs with "impactful design" and "fun spice."

In recent years, health-conscious sandals such as recovery sandals have become a hot topic on social media, especially among young people during the summer, and demand for easy-to-wear functional sandals is expanding.

Therefore, DOSHISHA considered whether a sandal focusing on health could be created from the "Gorilla Series," which also includes health appliances like "Gorilla's One Grab." This product was planned with that in mind. This product is a new sensation sandal that provides a comfortable stimulus to the soles of the feet with every step, thanks to the three-dimensional gorilla face installed on the insole that stimulates the soles, and the unique bumpy, fluffy design applied to the entire product.

This product was pre-sold starting April 2026, and due to its unique appearance becoming a topic of conversation on social media, new limited edition colors are now being released.

[Features]

◆ Impactful Appearance with All-Over Fluffy Design

From the insole to the outsole and upper, the design is bumpy like a collection of spheres, creating an unprecedented three-dimensional sandal.

◆ "Hidden Gorilla" Vigorously Stimulates Soles

A three-dimensional gorilla face, designed to be approximately 5mm higher than other bumps, is placed in the center of the insole. It stimulates the soles of the feet with every step, providing a comfortable experience just by wearing them.

◆ Lightweight and Soft Material

Made from EVA material, which has excellent shock absorption and elasticity, these sandals are lightweight and soft despite their voluminous appearance, making them easy to wear for long periods without feeling burdened and suitable for daily use.

◆ Available in 4 Colors, Including Limited Edition

In addition to the limited edition purple, there are basic colors of black and gray that are easy for anyone to use, and a refreshing mint green for summer, for a total of 4 colors.

[What is the Gorilla Series?]

The "Gorilla Series," with cumulative sales exceeding 3 million units*, is offered in three different concepts. *Total of DOSHISHA and related products from February 2024 to February 2026.

1 "Gorilla's High Power Series"

This series offers health and beauty-related products such as the calf care appliance "Gorilla's One Grab" and the high-power dryer "Gorilla's One Blow." It features products that meet real-world needs with "impactful design" tailored to each product (e.g., super strong, super heavy) and "fun spice" subtly mixed into product names and taglines.

2 "Gorilla Push Planning"

This line focuses on daily necessities such as the ultra-heavy "Gorilla's One Sip" beer mug and the ultra-light "Gorilla's Pinch" frying pan. With the concept of "impactful design" (e.g., super strong, super heavy) and "fun spice" subtly incorporated into product names and taglines, it expands the "Gorilla" worldview beyond the category of health and beauty appliances.

3 "Gorilla Relax"

This line features bedding items such as pillows and blankets, inspired by the ecology and characteristics of gorillas, including the addictive pillow "Gorilla's One Sleep" and the blanket "Gorilla's Hug" that provides a feeling of being embraced by a gorilla.
