The Launch of ground's FW26/27 Collection
On August 29, 2026, footware brand
ground's, operated by
FOOLS Inc. and headed by
Takuya Kanamaru, is excited to officially launch its
FW26/27 collection. This newest collection will be available through its official online store, physical retail locations, and various distributors.
The
FW26/27 collection emerges from a profound sentiment, illustrating how we soften the blows of everyday life. In a world filled with stimuli, it emphasizes the importance of gently dulling our edges to navigate through each day. This collection embodies a form of defense mechanism possibly rooted in our instinct to survive.
Within this exploration, the collection reveals despair and resignation at the depths of existence, leading to a quiet sense of salvation once we surrender. Essentially, it revolves around the primal act of
walking. A simple shift in the sensation of a step alters our bodily balance. Consequently, this adjustment can guide us toward uncharted paths. These nuances in our footing can lead us to entirely new places.
