Four years on from the release of its Karst sneaker, Camper follows up with the reveal of its technical Karst 2 silhouette. Staying true to the ergonomic foundations of the Karst line, the new arrival adopts a similar molded shape to its predecessor. At the base, a segmented Vibram outsole flows into rounded leather patches across the toebox and heel tab, maintaining the undulating lines inspired by the Tramuntana mountains. One of the more noticeable changes to the original Karst model lands in the midsole. Swapping the slim unit for a chunkier ReXarge® foam, the latest silhouette becomes more stable and cushioned while promising a lightweight wear. The comfort of this feature is further enhanced by interior padding as well as an OrthoLite® footbed made from recycled materials. In addition to the updated midsole, Camper introduces a new Mary Jane-style velcro fastening, arriving alongside the staple lace-up version. Fans can also shop from a range of colorways, including “Gray/Green,” “Blue/Gray,” and several TWINS colorblocked iterations. Take a closer look at the sneaker range in the gallery above. The new Karst 2 sneaker is now available to shop on Camper’s website and global stores, with prices starting at $215 USD.

Developed over a decade in collaboration with the Nike Mind Science Department, this shoe moves beyond physical performance to actively engage the mind-body connection, helping athletes achieve focus, presence, and calm.The core of the technology lies in the shoe’s unique sole unit, which features 22 independent foam nodes per shoe. These nodes are engineered to act like pistons, activating key sensory areas on the bottom of the foot to amplify ground sensation. This heightened sensory feedback helps clear mental distractions, a process validated by neuroscientists to improve an athlete’s focus before and after competition.The Mind 002 is the sneaker version of the platform, designed to securely anchor the foot to the stimulating footbed. The aesthetic is intentionally minimalist, utilizing a calming “Light Smoke Grey” colorway with a space-age, perforated foam-like upper. Chrome accents hit the Swoosh to provide a subtle contrast to the shoe’s monochromatic grey upper, while the nodes on the sole are in Hyper Crimson for the added vibrant touch that emphasizes the Mind technology.
