MOVEMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF GOOD DESIGN: THE WAY A PIECE ADAPTS, REACTS AND LIVES WITH THE WEARER.
THIS SEASON, CAMPER CONTINUES ITS CREATIVE DIALOGUE WITH ISSEY MIYAKE WITH A NEW SILHOUETTE INSPIRED BY THIS IDEA.
UNVEILED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE ISSEY MIYAKE SPRING-SUMMER 2026 PRESENTATION IN PARIS, THE KARST FINCH MODEL BRINGS TOGETHER TWO DISTINCT DESIGN SENSIBILITIES. THE PLAYFUL MEDITERRANEAN SPIRIT OF CAMPER MEETS THE THOUGHTFUL, EXPERIMENTAL VISION OF ISSEY MIYAKE DESIGNER SATOSHI KONDO, A HOUSE KNOWN SINCE 1971 FOR EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FORM, FABRIC AND THE BODY.
LIGHT, SUPPLE AND DISCREETLY EXPRESSIVE, THE DESIGN COMBINES SOFTNESS AND STRUCTURE.
A MARY-JANE-INSPIRED STRETCH-MESH UPPER WRAPS THE FOOT IN RELAXATION, WHILE CAMPER'S SCULPTURAL KARST OUTSOLE, INSPIRED BY NATURAL ROCK FORMATIONS, ANCHORS THE SILHOUETTE.
THE KARST FINCH IS INSPIRED BY PINCHERS, SMALL BIRDS RENOWNED FOR THEIR COLOURFUL PLUMAGE AND LIGHTNESS OF MOVEMENT. THIS SENSE OF FREEDOM IS REFLECTED IN THE CONSTRUCTION: AN ELASTICATED FIT, IMPROVED CUSHIONING THANKS TO CAMPER'S REXARGE® SUPERCRITICAL FOAM MIDSOLE, AND A VIBRAM OUTSOLE FOR IMPROVED GRIP AND DURABILITY.
A COLOUR PALETTE RANGING FROM SUBDUED NEUTRALS TO BOLD HUES INVITES PERSONAL EXPRESSION. EACH PAIR ALSO COMES WITH TWO SETS OF SOCKS DESIGNED TO BE MIXED, MATCHED AND WORN DIFFERENTLY EVERY DAY.
IN ESSENCE, THIS COLLABORATION REFLECTS WHAT BOTH BRANDS DO BEST: BRINGING CREATIVITY TO EVERYDAY LIFE THROUGH THOUGHTFUL DESIGN, INNOVATION AND A TOUCH OF LIGHTNESS.
MEDITERRANEAN RELAXATION MEETS JAPANESE PRECISION.
DIFFERENT WORLDS, SAME RHYTHM OF MOVEMENT.
