Perfect pieces for optimal performance on difficult terrain — or just a walk in the city.

perfect pieces for optimal performance on difficult terrain

The fashion world has been drawing inspiration from the most different universes such as sports, music, cinema, and even food — as we see in Travis Scott x Mc Donalds' latest collab. 🍟

Lately, brands have focused more and more on outdoor activities like trekking, climbing & hiking. Says who? Stüssy, Timberland, and countless other huge brands.

Just like there are different types of paths for every type of adventure, there’s an aesthetic for every one of them — either in the woods or in the city streets — but all of 'em have some important things in common: COMFORT AND RESISTANCE. That's why most of 'em are made out of leather or suede. These materials offer an amazing durability and abrasion resistance for when you turn on your Into the Wild mode.

Find below the proves that once and for all these are outdoorsy and SUSTAINABILITY TIMES.

BRADLEY MOUNTAIN

The brand designs and produces durable leather and canvas bags, backpacks, rucksacks, and more. Bradley Mountain sources natural materials and works to create durable goods that could last more than just an adventure time. They aim to bring a fresh perspective on modern adventure, beyond just traveling and camping, and into our daily lives.

ROA HIKING

The Italian brand, founded in 2015, is specialized in trekking and mountain footwear, and for some years has been reinterpreting trekking models that had nothing to do with fashion until now. ROA brings crossover, experimental techniques to shape a product that reflects a hybrid attitude beyond just beautiful views.

TIMBERLAND

Longevity is a hallmark of the Timberland design and with proper care, they can last for years, thanks to their premium waterproof leather outer. Their motto is that "WITH A GREAT PASSION FOR NATURE, COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" and they are committed to creating responsible products and protecting Nature for generations to come.

ARC'TERYX

Technology, sustainability, and specialization in technical high-performance apparel, outerwear, and equipment: this is how the creatives behind Arc'teryx manage to succeed in streetwear without really trying.

UNITED STANDARD

Aesthetics and functionality: the two values that most represent the brand. United Standard promises to be a new answer to the contemporary cultural offer with a streetwear line equally focused on accessories and clothing.

In other news, Byredo's new SS20 Homecoming collection of leather bags is a tribute to its founder's Indian roots.
