Collaborative Luxury Expedition Gear

Hender Scheme and The North Face Join Forces Once Again

— April 15, 2021 — Lifestyle
Hender Scheme and The North Face Japan work in collaboration once again, and this time around, the duo launch a collection full of high-end expedition gear. The pieces are catered towards the warmer seasons ahead of us with a design inspiration stemming from the mantra of "things that change, things that do not change."

The capsule offers two new footwear options in two different colorways. The first is the convertible HS Climbing Diversity and the second is a strappy HS Ultra Stratum PRO sandal. The rest of the capsule offers some carrying designs for a touch of function during adventures. This includes the iconic Shuttle Daypack with large and small selections complete with leather tabs, zipper pulls, and handles.
