The collaboration between FUTUR from Paris and MOUNTAIN RESEARCH, which develops products based on the theme of mountains, became a hot topic earlier this year, and now they are back together again. This time, they are re-imagining the classic hiking shoes from the prestigious brand Mephisto.

The popular duo brushes up a retro model.

The FUTUR A MOUNTAIN BAKHOU      ¥41800

Futur reconstructs the Classic Barracuda, a model developed by Mephisto in the 1980s and early 1990s which are also a favorite of Mountain Research designer Setsumasa Kobayashi. While making the best use of the original design and function, unique details are added that can only be achieved by this type of collaboration.

They have adopted Gore-Tex for high-quality suede. The collaboration logo on the tongue signifies this unique limited item.

The re-invented extra details such as the waterproof power of the Gore-Tex, and the unique logo are excellent. The release date is scheduled for October 2nd (Saturday), which is the same worldwide. Not only is this a must have as a fashion item, but also great for outdoors use, so we are sure outdoor enthusiasts worldwide will be keeping a keen eye on this.
