# Sculptural Knit Footwear The Anna is a Joint Footwear Design by Camper and ISSEY MIYAKE By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camper-and-issey-miyake References: [camper](https://www.camper.com/en_GB/content/issey-miyake)  The [Anna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabin-anna) collection was introduced by [Camper and ISSEY MIYAKE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnei-x-camper-pelotissima-collection) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boost-sneaker). 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.
