Material and functionality. Analog and high tech. Aging and durability. Leather and nylon …….

In this century, we are witnessing more and more cases where seemingly contradictory elements and combinations of elements cause unexpected reactions.

But what about the collaborative story between these two pioneers of the industry? It’s been half a year since the last collaboration, and they’ve returned with a superb new product that doesn’t look like any other previously seen contradictive combinations.

The second collaboration between THE NORTH FACE and Hender Scheme is a conceptual collection with the theme of “the things that change, yet don’t change.”

This time, not only footwear but also functional items such as backpacks and travel kits will be available. All 5 new types that seamlessly connect the outdoors to everyday life can be enjoyed by anyone. 

A combination of both their classics.

HS Shuttle Daypack　¥46200

HS Shuttle Daypack Slim　¥37400

First of all a daypack that boldly fuses the classic products of both brands, the North Face urban backpack “Shuttle Daypack” and the Hender Scheme “Backpack”. The combination of high-strength CORDURA Ballistic® nylon material and leather handle creates a fresh contrast.

Available in two sizes, the 34L (approx.), which is custom-made for outdoor activities and travel, and the 22L (approx.), which is suitable for business and daily use. In addition, the removable front pocket is a unique specification that can also be used as a small bag or pouch.

Both the main body and the storage bag are the stars.

HS Glam Travel Kit　¥19800

Next is a travel kit that allows you to carry 3 sizes of packing organizers in a mini bag. The padded mini bag has a leather handle in two colors (natural and black) to choose from, and the packing organizer has a colorful leather handle in red / blue / yellow.

The organizer is water repellent, so it may be useful for storing wet clothes and gear. This will be a useful item for the coming seasons when spending time outdoors near the water.

Mountain climbing design is incorporated into functional climbing shoes.

HS Climbing Diversity　¥36300

The 2WAY shoes “Climbing Diversity” developed by The North Face for rest and approach when climbing are fused with the design of Hender Scheme’s Chillean shoes. The ultra high class design, which is a combination of climbing and mountain climbing shoes, really shines.

The mocha part of the upper incorporates the design of leather shoes by stitching leather tape with zigzag stitching, and cow leather is used for the tab on the heel. Of course, functions that are indispensable outdoors are also included and the shoes are light and do not get stuffy or uncomfortable.

HS Ultra Stratum Pro　¥25300

Finally, there are high-tech sandals that tightly pack the years of know-how that The North Face has cultivated in the outdoors field into the sole. The FAST FOAM footbed, which produces high resilience, and the Vibram MEGA GRIP outsole, which boasts high grip, provide excellent comfort.

Seasoned with cow leather from Hender Scheme. The more you wear it, the more the texture changes and adapts to the shape of your feet, which leads to further improvement in comfort.

This is a fantastic collection that feels like joint combat between both brands, where conflicting elements collide head-on. With this second collaboration I think this unique bond has increased even further.

Reservations for this collection are based on a lottery system so please check below for details.
