Minimalist looks and utility-focused designs dominate this capsule, which consists of a range of footwear and apparel. A standout piece within the collection is the 'TEIX' shoe, which first made its debut as a collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov in 2019. The eye-catching shoe consists of bright white uppers, Camper red laces, a thick, jet-black outsole, and black stitching. Other pieces in the collection include the sustainability-constructed '[Karst](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karst-finch)' sneaker boot and the unisex 'Walden' boot. No doubt, this collection seeks to borrow familiar hiking elements and push them to exaggerated extremes, which explains the appearance of extra-long rain jackets, oversized nylon pants, and starkly contrasted sneaker colorways.
