Gully Labs X Aryan Katoch

Gully Number 001 Buransh Red

A maximalist sneaker woven from the cultural fabric of Himachal Pradesh, co-crafted with musician and artist Aryan Katoch.

High in the western Himalayas, the Kullu valley has its own visual language bold geometric weaves, saturated colour, and a craft tradition passed down through generations of hill communities. The Buransh Red borrows that language directly: the fabric on this shoe isn't inspired by Kullu weaving, it is Kullu weaving, lifted from the iconic caps worn during regional festivals and wrapped around a sneaker built for the flatlands.

Co-crafted with Aryan Katoch, a Himachali musician whose work threads mountain folklore into contemporary sound. Every detail here is rooted in place. The anklet over the laces. The herringbone wool on the back tab. The trail stitched from canvas strip. This is what it looks like when a culture dresses itself.

Features:

• Woven Kullu fabric on the toe and tongue shroud, sourced from Himachal Pradesh
• Herringbone woolen fabric on the back tab
• Anklet over laces, referencing traditional Kullvi ethnic dress
• Baaz embroidery on the back tab
• Canvas strip–crafted Baaz trail
• Metal eyelets with circular laces
• Bamboo lycra lining for natural odour control
