WHITE MOUNTAINEERINGAn outdoor wear brand from Japan that debuted with the Fall/Winter 2006 collection. Built on the concept that “the field in which we wear clothes is all outdoors,” the brand brings design, practicality, and technology together in a single form, pursuing uncompromising craftsmanship that does not yield to the market. MOISTHROUGH 360Equipped with patented 360-degree breathable waterproof technology developed by Hiroshima Kasei, a company with more than 70 years of history, MOISTHROUGH360 combines waterproof performance with exceptional breathability. Guided by the philosophy that “Necessity = Design,” the brand creates minimalist footwear that balances clean aesthetics with practical functionality, delivering lasting comfort even on rainy days. MOISTHROUGH360’s Unique Breathable Waterproof SystemUnlike conventional waterproof shoes that rely on waterproof membranes, MOISTHROUGH360 achieves waterproof performance with its proprietary breathable system. It releases air and water vapor throughout the shoe, from upper to sole, in all directions, while keeping water out. All materials used in the upper are made with specially developed breathable waterproof materials. Each individual seam thread is carefully waterproofed by hand, allowing the shoe to achieve extremely high water resistance without relying on a waterproof membrane. Unlike conventional membrane-based constructions that may deteriorate or peel over time, this advanced waterproof performance is designed to last for an extended period. It also offers excellent breathability, maintaining an in-shoe humidity level close to the outside air even during extended wear, helping reduce uncomfortable moisture buildup and keeping your feet comfortable. The sole is also equipped with a unique “pump function” that expels air and water vapor in sync with the natural motion of walking. Its 360-degree circulation system efficiently vents heat and moisture through the gap between the upper and the sole, allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the shoe and reach every part of the foot for exceptional comfort. Please note: This product is not completely waterproof. Water may penetrate under certain conditions or depending on usage. Details designed for refined walking comfortThe shoe uses a last designed to suit Japanese foot shapes. Combined with a lightweight EVA midsole with excellent shock absorption, it softens impact on landing and supports a light, smooth stride. The insole uses a dedicated mesh material developed to maximize breathability. The underside features ventilation holes and cushioning for arch support, helping prevent stuffiness underfoot while creating a structure that reduces fatigue during long walks. The outsole uses durable rubber across the entire contact surface. Designed for long-lasting durability, it resists wear even after extended use while providing excellent traction on wet surfaces. The vivid light blue “MOISTHROUGH360” logo is subtly revealed from the underside of the sole only when walking, adding a playful touch unique to the brand. The “WHITE MOUNTAINEERING” logo on the side is rendered in a tone close to that of the upper, creating a chic, understated impression. Rather than standing out, it blends naturally into refined styling, resulting in a minimalist design suited to mature wardrobes. The Beauty of SimplicityEvery component is unified in black, creating a simple silhouette defined by a refined, subtractive design approach with no unnecessary decoration. While equipped with high-tech breathable waterproof functionality, the clean appearance keeps it visually understated, toning down the casual feel typical of sneakers and creating a chic, refined impression.
