Shoe of the Week: Flower Mountain Washi Sneaker

A retro-inspired sneaker combining technical fabrics with arts and crafts style.

Inspired by Japanese craftsmanship and the Chinese concept of Yin and Yang, Flower Mountain designs sneakers that encapsulate the outdoor spirit and urban culture in one colorful package. The Washi sneaker is a prime example, fusing technical fabric with suede, tactile ribbons, and trekking laces in an ultra-colorful package.

Combining retro style inspiration with arts-and-crafts details like perforated suede, the Washi is equally functional and fashionable. Styles also boast an ultra-light rubber outsole with indented tread and an antibacterial cork insole. The brand is a favorite among fashion-forward retailers spanning Shopbop, Free People, and Nordstrom.
