The hot summer days are soon approaching. Before the scorching heat comes roasting, let’s soak in the spring greenery as we get the steps in with some weekend hikes.
As exciting as it is hitting the trails, there’s nothing worse than ending the day with a bunch of blisters on your feet. Make sure you invest in some proper hiking shoes, all can be found at Harbour City.
Iconic styles refreshed
Presented by PUMA and Australian independent cult brand Perks and Mini
(P.A.M.) as a part of the second installment of the PAM/PUMA BIO/VERSE project, PUMA x PERKS AND MINI Clyde Rubber Sneakers encourage wearers to explore our biodiverse world.
The new take on the Clyde Rubber preserves PUMA’s basketball heritage while meshing that together with the heart-pumping skyrunning game. The low boot style is constructed with a suede upper with rubber overlays in brushed texture with a pop of color and high-vist hits on the trim.
To bring a little nostalgic feeling to your expenditure, another iconic silhouette reinvented for the collection is the Prevail TRL. The comeback of the 90s trail running shoes are adorned with a swirl at their mesh sidewalls, wavy contours of the overlays and sole, and signed off with co-branded details at the tongue and heel.
Forest bathing
Explore Japan’s love for Shinrin-yoku – or “forest bathing” through Asics’ Nature Bathing collection. Building on the success of its debut earlier this year, the second drop includes four silhouettes that are given a summertime update.
The scent of the trees, warm sunshine, and the chirping birds offer a sense of tranquility, yet when the sun sets, the golden rays and patchy sky seen in glimpses through tree breaks adds a veil of mysteriousness to the scenery.
The collection’s newest colorways capture the mesmerizing changing skies when the sun lowers beyond the horizon. The nuances of pink and orange hues create a visual contrast with the cobalt blue and lagoon that compliment your outfits.
Perfect fit
In celebration of Korean sportswear brand KOLON SPORT’s 50th anniversary, the brand’s collaboration with French label Solomon invites you to embark on a journey to Jeju, a volcanic island that’s famous for its winding coastal trails and lush countryside.
As you explore the wilderness, KOLON SPORT x Solomon’s revamped XT-6 is going to ensure your foot is well protected from the elements. The SensiFit™ upper cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system to provide a secure and snug fit all around the foot as you hop over rocks.
Featuring the EndoFit™ internal fit sleeve, the shoe is designed to offer a sock-like fit that conforms to your feet with a precise fit.

Ideal for mountain pursuits and ever-changing terrain, the pair is outfitted with GORE-TEX and high impact cushioningto keep your feet dry and comfortable, plus wet grip traction and smart reinforcements for more confident steps.
