BEHIND THE COLLAB

According to ARKK Copenhagen's Creative Director Kasper Høj Rasmussen, a collaboration with Vibram® was the perfect opportunity for the two brands to combine their expertise to create something new, "The team at Vibram is the best in the world at crafting outdoor soles and so, when we found out that we could work together to merge our custom outsole designs with their durable materials, we had to try it." According to Høj Rasmussen, the creative collaboration resulted a successful marriage of rugged Italian craftsmanship and crisp Nordic aesthetics. "I think we all learned something from the partnership, our eyes were opened to some new ideas and possibilities and we are absolutely thrilled with the final result."
