As a seasoned urban explorer with a penchant for functional footwear that can handle both city streets and off-road adventures, I find myself utterly captivated by the HAVEN x Tarvas Easy Hiker collaboration. Having traversed through the rugged landscapes of Scandinavia to the bustling metropolises of Asia, I’ve come to appreciate the blend of Nordic design aesthetics and practical functionality that this pair epitomizes.
As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that Vancouver-based retail powerhouse, Haven, has joined forces with Tarvas to breathe new life into their iconic Easy Hiker design. By infusing it with comforting textures and boosting its adaptable sophistication, they’ve transformed this Finnish footwear classic into a versatile must-have for any modern wardrobe.
In this collaboration, Tarvas’s Scandinavian design style blends with HAVEN’s practical philosophy. The upper is crafted from hairy Italian suede, balanced by full-grain leather on the heel panels, tongues, and overlays. This combination creates a harmonious blend of natural materials. The earthy color schemes used, which include a neutral palette, subtly tone down the rugged appearance of the sturdy hiking shoe. For this partnership, only two colors have been released: an understated all-black and a rich dark brown suede.
Tarvas’ mudguards made of rubberized leather shield the shoe’s bottom, offering added protection, while the Vibram 1375 Bifida soles showcase distinct arches that lend a robust appearance to the pair. The durable outsole features tread patterns for dependable traction on diverse urban and outdoor surfaces, and the eco-friendly insoles bear the combined brand logos.
The HAVEN x Tarvas Easy Hiker is available now online and in-stores at HAVEN and on the HAVEN app.
