Camper and ISSEY MIYAKE present Karst Finch The line inspired by the colorful plumage of finches
Camper presents its second creative collaboration with ISSEY MIYAKE, the womenswear line of the eponymous Japanese fashion house. Both brands come together to unveil the new Karst Finch, designed by Camper and Satoshi Kondo, designer at ISSEY MIYAKE. The new silhouette was first introduced during the ISSEY MIYAKE SS26 presentation last October in Paris.
Drawing from the heritage of both brands, this collaboration celebrates creativity, emphasizing craftsmanship in everyday life. Both brands integrate high-quality materials and technologies to deliver functionality and comfort, with a playful touch. Karst Finch is the first sneaker of the partnership, inspired by the colorful plumage of finches, the small and charming songbirds. The design features a lightweight elastic upper set on a sole inspired by the natural structure of Camper’s Karst, named after the rocky geological formation.
Karst Finch evokes a sense of freedom. The idea of walking freely and without constraints is reflected in its comfortable fit and lightweight design. The elastic knitted upper, inspired by Mary-Jane styles, provides extra comfort, while Camper’s supercritical foam ReXarge® midsole enhances cushioning. The Vibram Ecostep outsole, made with 30% recycled materials, improves grip.
The sneakers are available in four different colorways, spanning a versatile palette of black, pink, yellow, green, blue, beige, and grey. Each pair comes with two sets of socks in matching or contrasting tones, inviting the wearer to mix, match, and personalize their look.
