Portraits of six people who live the urban outdoor life with Danner sneakers.

From space coordination, staging, and production, to collecting furniture and miscellaneous goods, and even gear for the camping scene. She is an interior stylist who offers a wide range of interior design proposals. She is also a genuine camper who enjoys camping on a regular basis during the on-season. For her, "Danner" has always been a staple of outdoor boots that has never faded away.

Compared to items for town use, the Danner is a pair that everyone would go for in the outdoor scene, where more specialized functionality is required. All of the models are solid and sturdy, and their excellent design is also appealing.

Like interior design, Mr. Endo has his own unique style in fashion, and he does not skimp when it comes to choosing his everyday clothes. Especially from now on, sneakers are a top priority when it comes to the footwear that adorns his feet.

For the past few years, I have been particularly interested in sneakers made by outdoor brands. I think Danner's sneakers are also a product that combines function and design, and has excellent functional beauty.

What surprised me when I saw Mr. Endo's outfit was the overall use of color. The color coordination, which is the result of careful calculations, is a true testament to her skill.

Color matching is an essential element in creating a sense of overall unity. My recent mood is to build a collection around earth colors in particular. That's why I think olive-colored sneakers will come in handy.

Mr. Hiranuma works as a press person for "F/CE.®," which recently held its first major fashion show at Tokyo Fashion Week. He has been involved in the press since his mid-twenties through his previous job at a boutique, and he has a strong image of "Danner" as a high-status brand.

When we were young, there were many brands in select stores that you could not carelessly touch unless you had knowledge and background. One such brand was "Danner." At that time, you were not allowed to wear Danner shoes unless you had a certain degree of trust from your seniors or understood outdoor culture (laughs). (Laughs.) Because of those days, I still feel a sense of pride in Danner, and I still admire it.

Recently, Mr. Hiranuma has been into solo hiking. He is usually busy working in the city center, so it is an important time for him to switch to off-time. He dares to enjoy his time alone, not in a group. Sneakers from Danner firmly support Mr. Hiranuma's lifestyle.

My favorite style of mountaineering is to challenge less difficult mountains with light equipment. Most of the time, I choose sneakers for my footwear, but I think I can climb any mountain in Danner's Ridge Runner Plus.

The "Ridge Runner Plus" fits effortlessly into everyday fashion as well as off-season use. On this day, the silhouette is wide with a loose fit. The "Ridge Runner Plus" looks great with the balance of the overall outfit. This is a perfect example of urban outdoor style.

The mountain boot-like shoeless design, the overall shape, and above all, the surprisingly lightweight construction make them dependable. The overall shape of the boots, the shoeless design, and above all, the surprisingly lightweight construction make them so dependable that once you put them on, you're likely to keep wearing them for a while.

ACME Furniture is a select and original furniture company that focuses on good old-fashioned American vintage furniture. Mr. Katsuyama, who can be considered the brains behind the company, is also responsible for various external communication tasks such as in-store events, product collaborations, and corporate tie-ups. He used to be a member of the staff of a select store, and still has a deep knowledge of fashion. Mr. Katsuyama's encounter with "Danner" goes back to that time.

At the time, outdoor fashion was at its peak in select stores. Combined with the mainstream American casual style, Danner was the absolute leader in boots. I still have a pair of "Danner Lite" and "Mountain Lite" boots that I have worn since those days. It is a brand that I am personally very familiar with.

In addition to his expertise in the fields of furniture and clothing, Katsuyama is also known as an unrivaled camping enthusiast. On his days off, he takes his family and friends to campgrounds and lakes in the Kanto region, where he enjoys his camping life surrounded by his special gear. Naturally, Danner products are a big hit on these trips. Here is what Katsuyama had to say about his impressions of the Ridge Trainer Plus he was wearing on this day.

Outdoor sneakers have found a new value in sneakers with their functionality and appearance. Many fashionistas with a high level of sensitivity are wearing them, and the collaboration models with fashion brands have become a hot topic of conversation. The Ridge Trainer Plus is also perfect for outdoor activities such as camping, as it reduces stress and makes you stand out from the crowd.

On the other hand, in the city, the secret to creating an urban style is to dare to match them with traditional styles such as shirts and hats.

fridge setagaya is a unique boutique near Kamimachi Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line. Mr. Uchida, who has been in the apparel industry for more than 10 years, says that "Danner" has a special place in the fashion scene.

I have been wearing the standard "Mountain Light" and special-order models since I was working at the store where I used to work. Since that time, the brand has been synonymous with boots, and I have the image of it being a shoe brand that is indispensable for outdoor style."

Mr. Uchida chose the "Ridge Runner Plus" for his footwear this time. The Ridge Runner Plus is the perfect pair for Mr. Uchida, who travels throughout various areas of Japan, including on regional tours, at events, and at festival stalls.

This model, which is a sneaker but feels like a mountain boot, can be used in any weather and for any occasion. They have excellent cushioning and are comfortable and do not tire easily even after wearing them for a long time. I'm in great shape. I often go to festivals and events for work, and these will come in handy in those situations."

The "Ridge Runner Plus" was the star of the outfit, with a relaxed, gray-toned look. The key to this look is the tight silhouette of the denim pants, which has been his recent trend.

The sole is thick and the sneakers have a lot of volume, so I try to balance them out with slimmer silhouette clothes. Also, by unifying the overall color scheme, I have created a clean, uncluttered impression."

In these days when camping has long since taken root in many people's lifestyles, "snow peak" is rapidly growing at a rapid pace. Store staff member Mr. Abe, who was originally a fan of the brand, is a promising new face who has just joined the company. Having been a fan of vintage clothing since his college days, he says that "Danner" is an indispensable brand in his own fashion history.

When talking about products, I inevitably focus on the age, details, materials, and so on. Because I used to love vintage clothing, I want to know the background behind the clothes. In that sense, Danner is a legendary brand with a long history, loved by people who love work and the outdoors.

While Mr. Abe himself has such a passion for clothing, he would also like to take advantage of his employment with "snow peak" to get actively involved in the outdoors in the future. He plans to start by camping in Niigata Prefecture, where the company is headquartered, as part of his company training.

It's good to have a collection of gear and to wear clothes that look good in a camping environment to refresh your spirits. In that sense, I think the Ridge Trainer Plus is a pair that will lift your spirits.

The main color of the day's coordination is olive, and the bold layering technique of wearing a fishing vest over the jacket is demonstrated. It is a modern sublimation of outdoor and military wear.

Olive is the hottest color right now. The Ridge Trainer Plus looks fresh and not like sneakers. Snow Peak and Danner have an outstanding chemistry, perhaps because of their close brand identities. Just by combining these two brands, I think you can naturally express an outdoor style with an urban feel.
