[Cotopaxi] Del Dia Series
Basic Info
Cotopaxi is a U.S.-based outdoor brand founded in 2014.
The Del Dia series is eco-friendly, made from leftover fabrics at the factory. Each item features a unique color combination, so no two are the same—making them one-of-a-kind!
Why We Love It
The Del Dia lineup includes everything from small hip packs to spacious backpacks.
Everything from the fabric and buckles to the zippers and thread features different colors—so you’ll never see the exact same item twice!
Personally, I recommend the KAPAI. It’s perfect for short outings and adds a great pop of color to any outfit!
Even the same model can have a completely different feel depending on the color scheme—why not look for one that matches your style?

This trail running shoe is developed by Merrell Test Lab (MTL), a cutting-edge R&D team that concentrates all of Merrell’s advanced technology.
Price: ¥26,400 (tax included)
Why We Recommend It
Designed with feedback from real athletes, this shoe embodies both performance functionality and outstanding comfort. It’s the latest innovation from the MTL series.
The standout feature is the bold, thick midsole. Despite its appearance, it provides just the right amount of firmness for a responsive, stable ride during both landings and takeoffs.
The upper is made from MATRYX fabric—an ultra-durable material that combines Kevlar fibers and high-strength polyamide. It’s lightweight and resistant to tearing from external forces.
This shoe is perfect not only for trail running but also for any active use!
