ROA Hiking

About ROA Hiking

ROA is an Italian shoe and apparel label founded in 2015. Its hybrid approach draws on the latest technical outdoorwear and uses crossover, experimental techniques to shape products for the landscape. In practice it takes a sportswear attitude into outdoor footwear, exalting functionality through avant-garde materials and performance-led construction. Creative directed by Patrick Stangbye, the label brings high fashion execution to hiking and outdoor inspired footwear and apparel, pairing the highest quality materials and finishes with performance-level function. Its collaboration with Fragment, the project founded by Hiroshi Fujiwara, reworks the signature hybrid boot in black untreated Kudu leather, made in Italy. Left natural, the leather keeps its scars and markings and develops a distinctive patina over time.
