And they continue to evolve. The brand recently announced the Dior by Mystery Ranch —  a collaboration for the Parisian fashion house’s Summer 2023 men’s collection.

Partnering with Mystery Ranch for the first time, Dior’s new backpacks and bags combine the formal with the informal, the practical with the purely aesthetic, and outdoor culture with the demands of luxury. Available on February 16, 2023, exclusively in Dior retail locations worldwide and on Dior.com. Mystery Ranch told us they are thrilled to share the details of this unlikely collaboration.

Inspired by Christian Dior’s passion and attachment to the countryside, the earth and “simple and natural things,” Kim Jones, artistic director for Dior Men, sought a partnership with Mystery Ranch to bring authentic outdoor design and functionality to the men’s summer collection.

“This collaboration is a testament to two companies that care deeply about their crafts and the communities they serve,” said Dana Gleason, founder of MYSTERY RANCH. “Working with companies like Dior is the ultimate recognition that we are doing what we set out to do: To design and build great packs and bags specific to the mission. The Dior collection is a thing of beauty. Mission accomplished.”

Drawn to the aesthetic and technical aspects of the Mystery Ranch Y-shaped 3-ZIP closure system, Jones and the Ranch design team built the bag collection around the Mystery Ranch GALLAGATOR backpack “elevating functionality to the ultimate fashion statement.” The pack offers immediate access to its multiple interior storage spaces, and compression straps on the front of the bag allow for even volume adjustment. It comes with an essential detail – a detachable, water-repellent hooded cover.

The epitome of clean, functional design, the 3-ZIP closure makes accessing pack contents as easy as 1, 2, 3. Created by Gleason in 2005 to quickly access gear while backcountry skiing, the 3-ZIP closure system has become a brand signature with an iconic look for both the urban and core outdoor user.

Gleason continued, “Born out of aggravation and necessity, the 3-ZIP design serves a unique set of families. It’s been adopted by climbers, hikers and backpackers, and now Paris.”

The Dior by Mystery Ranch collection features the Gallagator backpack, Saddle Bag, Belt Pouch (also a 3-ZIP design), Wallet, and Tactical Belt, in two colorways, featuring a CORDURA re/cor fabric that is entirely recycled, resistant and durable, and embroidered with a leather crest intermingling the seal of the two Houses.

The Saddle Bag, an emblematic Dior model, is reinvented in a version designed for the outdoors, with an ingenious double-zipped compartment. It has a nylon jacquard shoulder strap, an additional strap for attaching various accessories, an aluminum “CD” buckle, and a second, more technical one that closes the flap.

When you buy a pair of these limited edition shoes, you’ll also pocket the rights to the exclusive Non-Fungible Token (NFT) at the heart of the design. That means that your shoe purchase doubles as an investment in a new corner of the art world that’s only getting more popular with every passing day. Even the best pair of kicks might not stand the test of time, but digital art is forever.

Each shoe features a completely unique design that belongs entirely to the shoe owner. The shoes feature images of winged animals that take inspiration from luxury fashion houses and make it more approachable. No two designs are exactly alike, which means that whatever design you snag will be the only one of its kind to walk the earth and travel the internet. You literally won’t be able to find your design anywhere else.

“We’re doing something absolutely unheard of. We’re making a wearable NFT in the form of a sneaker. Much like how an NFT is minted, the purchaser will get a limited edition of the TAFT NFT Sneaker. Each pair will be assigned attributes randomly that match the exact NFT artwork.” said Kory Stevens, Founder and Designer of TAFT.

There will be a limited number of designs available once the NFT line drops so that each one holds value. The designs will all be available through a randomized lottery. The designs vary in rarity depending on the unique set of attributes assigned to each at the time of their creation.

The package deal includes printed TAFT sneakers and the NFT art itself, as well as information on launches only available to TAFT NFT owners and access to a private Discord group with regular insights from the TAFT team. Interested buyers will be able to purchase their spot in the lottery though either US dollars or through the Solana blockchain. Solana uses more energy-efficient methods than others like Bitcoin and Ethereum, so your investment comes with the added bonus of a lower carbon footprint.

TAFT’s foray into NFT art signals a new way of combining digital and physical creations for a package deal that adds up to more than the sum of its parts. The line shows that there’s no need to shove art into constrictive boxes or force it to fit any one category. Individuality in art can still exist across multiple platforms, which opens up more doors for people to connect with art in their own way.

The NFT line launches this June. Each shoe + NFT package will cost $300 in USD or SOL. You can go ahead and join the waitlist or Discord now for updates on the process and first dibs on the drop.

And a new limited-edition capsule uniquely fuses outdoor performance engineering with city-inspired streetwear design. Bringing this union to life, the two-item drop comprises a special-edition colorway of the HOKA Kaha Low GTX trail hiker, and ORA Recovery Slide. The HOKA x Bodega capsule collection launched March 25 exclusively at Bodega.com and Bodega stores, and at HOKA.com beginning April 1, 2022.

As Bodega calls Boston home, the design channels the four seasons of New England. The changes of season inspire the versatility of these products. You can lean on them during the work week or while exploring the outdoors over the weekend due to the heightened adaptability and functionality synonymous with HOKA. The materials were chosen to endure ever-evolving conditions. Wear them every day, yet still rely on them for performance. Moreover, the colors reflect the “Fall,” which is the most beautiful in the Northeast. Bodega added the perfect aesthetic, while HOKA provided the engine, making for elite versions of the Kaha Low GTX trail hiker and ORA Recovery Slide.

The HOKA x Bodega Kaha Low GTX (MSRP $225) features an all-new Martini Olive colorway with Almond accents and is engineered to combine proprietary foams, patented geometries, and exceptional Vibram® Megagrip traction, all in a low, ankle-height profile. The HOKA x Bodega ORA Slide​ (MSRP $60) also comes in a Martini Olive colorway but is designed for comfort and support with soft layers of EVA.

With this collaboration, these existing brand elements have been merged with HOKA’s bold, premium performance footwear silhouettes for a truly one-a-kind collection. Both brands were inspired by their shared passions for the outdoors, while taking cues from Bodega’s Boston roots.

“Bodega is excited to partner with HOKA on the Kaha Low GTX and ORA Recovery Slide. Hoka stands at the intersection of style and function, continually innovating footwear. Most importantly, our team appreciates the quality and performance of HOKA footwear.” said Matt Zaremba, Director of Marketing at Bodega. “Because we are a bi-coastal brand, residing in cities with incredible outdoor resources nearby right outside city limits, we stay active. Whether escaping from the hustle and bustle of city living to refocus and ground ourselves, or chasing the next adventure, we rely on quality goods that will make the journey enjoyable while retaining our individual approach to style. HOKA is a key brand in the space that aligns with our personal and collective tastes and appreciation for getting up and getting out there.”

“The HOKA x Bodega collab is the unification of two innovative and groundbreaking brands, with the result being shoes that empower people to explore in comfort, no matter the terrain.” said Gretchen Weimer, Vice President of Product at HOKA. “Bodega is the pinnacle expression of best-in-class streetwear, and it was an honor to collaborate on a unified vision for these special HOKA styles.”

Conceived in the mountains, HOKA footwear delivers an unprecedented combination of enhanced cushioning and support for a uniquely smooth ride. Every day, HOKA pushes the innovation and design of its footwear and apparel by teaming up with a deep roster of world champions, taste makers and everyday athletes. From finish lines to everyday life, HOKA fans love the brand for its bold and unexpected approach, and its belief in the power of humanity to create change for a better world.
