Coveted London menswear designer and Gorp Core poster boy: Kiko Kostadinov
Fashionable footwear trends have recently diverged, with some suggesting a post-sneaker era and others reveling in the prolonged popularity of Samba-style shoes. London designer Kiko Kostadinov‘s collaboration with Japanese brand Asics has notably influenced the rise of comfortable sneakers among the fashion-forward crowd and keeps on raising the bar overall.
New twist on classics: Clarks x Daniëlle Cathari

Mountaineering’s finest: Mammut x Hiking Patrol
