A look back at the evolution of mountaineering culture alongside the evolution of the sole. Vibram is hosting a special exhibition.

From outdoor brands to urban apparel brands. Many brands place their trust in the Italian sole manufacturer “Vibram". I'm sure everyone has seen the yellow brand logo engraved on the sole at least once."

Vibram is hosting a special exhibition titled “Mountains of Milano—The History of Mountains Etched at Our Feet,” which looks back on the brand’s history and the evolution of mountaineering culture.

This exhibition is part of “Mountains of Milano,” a cultural project organized by “Vibram” around the world. Through this exhibition, we aim to introduce a wide audience to our history and the technologies that have evolved alongside mountaineering and outdoor culture, while conveying Vibram’s philosophy as a “bridge between mountain and urban culture”—not merely as an outdoor brand.

In addition to screenings of video works, the venue featured an exhibition of “Vibram” archival materials, as well as a collection of rare mountaineering boots and climbing shoes from the 1950s and 1960s, gathered in collaboration with “Ishii Sports” and 〈LA SPORTIVA〉.

The exhibition is organized to trace the evolution of products, designs, and outsoles through the ages—from early mountaineering boots to modern high-performance footwear.

Please take this opportunity to experience the world of “Vibram” for yourself.
