The Anna collection was introduced by Camper and ISSEY MIYAKE as sculptural footwear designed by Satoshi Kondo to combine a sock-like fit with a structured silhouette. The designs pair a precision-knit upper made from a TENCEL-blend fabric derived from sustainably sourced wood fibres with a pointed toe and a low heel.
The breathable upper wraps around the foot and lower leg to provide a close fit, while the streamlined outsole creates a contrast between flexible textile construction and rigid support. The collection is offered as both a slip-on shoe and a higher-cut boot. The new footwear incorporates a ridged rubber outsole designed for everyday traction and durability while maintaining a minimalist profile. The slip-on style is available in black and beige, while the boot is offered in black, blue, and dark navy.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Sculptural Knit Footwear
- Fashion-forward footwear is merging textile flexibility with architectural silhouettes, creating space for expressive products that balance comfort, structure, and visual distinction.
- Sustainable Performance Textiles
- Bio-based knit materials such as TENCEL blends are reshaping premium accessories by linking refined aesthetics with breathable function and lower-impact sourcing.
- Hybrid Sock-shoe Design
- Footwear concepts that combine sock-like uppers with supportive outsoles point to new product formats between loungewear comfort and everyday urban utility.
Sectors Adopting This
- Footwear
- Design-led collaborations are expanding footwear beyond conventional categories, with knit construction and minimalist forms enabling differentiated seasonal collections.
- Sustainable Fashion
- Material innovation rooted in renewable fibres is giving apparel and accessory brands new ways to connect luxury positioning with environmental responsibility.
- Textile Manufacturing
- Advanced knitting processes are becoming central to product design, allowing manufacturers to produce seamless, breathable, and form-fitting components with elevated style potential.
