Altra And Japanese Label and wander Collaborate For The Timp 5 BOA®
19 March 2025
In an era where outdoor functionality often competes with design simplicity, Altra and Japanese label and wander have found common ground. Their collaborative Timp 5 BOA® represents a natural convergence of two brands that have always let mountain testing dictate design.
Born in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, Altra’s natural running philosophy aligns seamlessly with and wander’s field-tested approach. A reimagined version of Altra’s Timp silhouette comes dressed in granite grey – a deliberate choice that mirrors the alpine landscapes where both brands test their gear. Reflective elements appear almost as an afterthought, visible only when light catches them just so, much like the way morning sun illuminates mountain frost.
“Partnering with Altra was a natural choice for us. As designers who are deeply passionate about blending fashion with the beauty of nature, we saw a shared commitment to innovation and performance with Altra.” said Keita Ikeuchi, designer and Founder of and wander. “This collaboration with Altra allows us to bring our vision of fashion in the mountains to life. Together, we aim to create a sophisticated trail running shoe that not only can perform, but also look elevated on the streets.”
The Timp 5 BOA® Altra x and wander will be available for purchase online at altrarunning.eu, andwander.com, and select premium retailers, starting 19th March. The shoe retails for £175.00.
