Number (N)ine recently got together with Nepenthes, a Japanese company, which is behind brands such as Engineered Garments and Needles. Takahiro Miyashita, the designer of Number (N)ine, used to be part of the Nepenthes team, thus a collaborative project was only natural.

The Number (N)ine For Nepenthes collection has a strong purple theme and consists of hiking boots, knitwear, jackets, as well as some pants. Via Hypebeast/Footurama.

Hiking seems to be a big inspiration for the sneaker companies in the coming months.

It features a brown suede upper and nice contrasting red laces. More information as we get closer to the release.
