Backstory:

In the fall of 2019, designers from California-based Roark — makers of adventure-ready apparel, luggage and globally inspired trinkets — met with Danner at their factory in Portland, Oregon. The aim was to collaborate on a collection that the Roark team would wear to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Documented by filmmakers Chris Burkard and Ben Weiland in the short, Arc of Aleutia, the trip focused on tracking down the legend of a lone surfer who trekked to the remote bay many years ago. The film captures the spirit of exploration in one of most isolated and untamed surf destinations on the planet.

“Danner boots are built for adventures – both big and small,” says Will Pennartz, Brand Marketing Director, Danner. “When the Roark team approached us about collaborating on a premium, USA-made collection that would stand up to the rigors of the Alaskan wilderness yet still feel at home in the city, we were up for the challenge.”

“Danner has outfitted Roark trips all over the world since our journey to Nepal in 2014. The boots are always up to the task and are one of the most dependable pieces of gear we bring along,” says Ryan Hitzel, Founder & CEO of Roark. “All of those miles gave way to a collaboration that brings us a durable yet stylish pair of boots and the most bulletproof incarnation of our “Axeman” Jacket to date – built of boot-grade waxed canvas and leather. Even better, they were built in Portland and Los Angeles. We’re very proud of that.”

Topo Designs X Danner Round 3

Topo Designs and Danner partnered up on their third collaboration together. The past collaborations were a classic/heritage aesthetic but they went super bold and bright this round and we are digging it!

Topo Designs Product Designer Khristian Gilham explains, “This collaboration is something totally new for us and Danner. We sought out inspiration from the 90’s, when vintage hiking apparel and this new standard for technology were colliding to create super bright, innovative pieces. We loved having the opportunity to play with a relatively new Danner silhouette and reimagine it with loud, tech-driven colors.” There are 3 pieces in this collaboration – A limited-edition pack, hiker, and graphic L/S tee. The new Topo Designs x Danner collection will be available online on topodesigns.com and danner.com.

Topo Designs x Danner Trail 2650

The Trail 2650 is one of the signature hikers in Danner’s lineup, inspired by the diverse terrain found along the 2650-mile Pacific Crest Trail. It’s a lightweight and breathable option for spring and summer, the design features a suede and textile upper and speckled Vibram® sole with Megagrip technology. The bold colors are a nod to the 90s and Topo Designs’ signature styling.

MSRP $160

Topo Designs x Danner Mountain Pack

The Topo Designs x Danner Mountain Pack incorporates design elements from the Trail 2650, including the bold color choices. The yellow hi-vis liner of the pack matches the shoe’s interior and red paracord zipper pulls mirror the laces. The generous size makes this pack perfect for day hikes, long weekend trips and carrying everything you need to explore a new city.
