The Swiss Army Rucksack inspired Nigel Cabourn’s latest collaboration with Japanese designer Mihara Yasuhiro. Dating back to the Napoleonic wars, the bags heavy-duty canvas was traditionally made by blending cotton yarns with stinging nettle fibers, creating a unique salt and pepper ‘blurring camo’ pattern. Yasuhiro recreated the technique in Japan using 100% cotton to produce two exclusive versions of the Mihara Running Trainer in Rough Tan & Swiss Green. The sneaker mixes rough suede and mesh paneling with oversize laces and Yasuhiro’s signature ‘ripple’ sole.
