Vancouver-based retailer HAVEN has united with Tarvas to reinterpret the Finnish footwear brand’s Easy Hiker with cozy materiality and elevated versatility.
Tarvas’s Nordic design aesthetic meets HAVEN’s functional philosophy with an extra hairy Italian suede upper counterbalanced with full-grain leather overlays, heel panels, and tongues. The naturalistic upper fabrication and the muted neutral colorways soften the tactical features of the hefty hiker. Two simple colors are offered for the collaboration: an elegant all-black and a dark brown suede.
Tarvas’ rubberized leather mudguards provide a layer of protection at the upper’s base, while Vibram 1375 Bifida cup-soles boast prominent arches, giving the pair a hefty look. Treads on the durable outsoles provide reliable performance across varying urban and outdoor conditions and the recycled latex insoles are embossed with co-branded word marks
The HAVEN x Tarvas Easy Hiker is available now online and in-stores at HAVEN and on the HAVEN app.
