First time co-creation. Danner x South 2 West 8's special order boots will be available on Saturday, October 26.

Danner, the long-established American brand that created the world's first Gore-Tex boots, has teamed up with SOUTH2 WEST8, an outdoor brand born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, for the first time. Danner has teamed up with SOUTH2 WEST8, an outdoor brand born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, for the first time.

The special edition model created by the two companies is based on the "MOUNTAIN LIGHT," which is synonymous with the Danner brand. The rugged form of the "MOUNTAIN LIGHT" is inherited, while the vintage-inspired oiled suede material is used to create a soft olive color that will fit in well on the street.

MOUNTAIN LIGHT ¥84,700

The thick leather is well oiled and has both excellent water repellency and softness for comfort. The liner uses Danner Dry, Danner's proprietary waterproof and breathable membrane, for a waterproof design that can be worn on rainy days without worry.

In addition, the Gore-Tex lining, Danner's traditional stitching down, and VIBRAM's "360 DRI-ICE" outsole with its superior groping ability, all contribute to a high level of functionality that can only be achieved in the modern age. The classic form and sand beige color, however, create a chic impression.

The result is a pair that looks great not only for outdoor use but also for town use. The essence of both brands are perfectly fused together in this gem, which will go on sale on October 26 (Sat.).
