Japanese fashion label nonnative is an expert in crafting up workwear that is ready for the outdoors and functional in different environments and the new BLACK [PACK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-stealth-pack) 2021 Vol.2 pack does not fall short. The brand features subtle designs that are refined in their shapes and detailing.

The tailoring throughout the pack ensures that utility remains the core focus throughout every piece. Notably, there are two footwear options that join the collection and shine in the spotlight due to its [minimal design language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiwa-pier39-fw25). It features premium leather materials as the construction, starting off with the [Rancher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummies-zero-sugar) Cow Suede Zip Up Boot that is made alongside Officine Creative. The second shoe is the basketball-themed two-tone Stroller Trainer made with Italian cowhide.
