Hello! I’m Seki, the store manager of the outdoor shop FITTWO in Ueno.

Today, I’d like to introduce a legendary trekking shoe from MERRELL: CHAMELEON STORM REDUX JAPAN GORE-TEX.

Price: ¥22,000 (+ tax)

The first model of the CHAMELEON series was released in 2001 and quickly gained strong support from outdoor enthusiasts. Since then, the line has evolved through several generations, including the CHAMELEON 8 STORM GORE-TEX, becoming one of MERRELL’s most iconic and popular models.

However, the series was unfortunately discontinued about 4–5 years ago and disappeared from the market. Despite that, we continued to receive many inquiries about it. Now, this highly requested model has finally made a comeback for the 2026 Spring/Summer season as a Japan-exclusive release.

Design of the CHAMELEON STORM REDUX

Rugged Design That Recreates the Original Look

Just like the original CHAMELEON STORM, the upper uses distinctive materials that faithfully recreate the look and atmosphere of the classic model.

Compared with the previous model, the CHAMELEON 8, the sole is slightly thicker, giving the shoe a more substantial and modern appearance.

Sporty Look with Speed Shoelaces

Previous models used traditional shoelaces, but this version features a speed shoelace system.

You can easily adjust the fit by pressing the button, making the shoes quick and easy to put on and take off.

In addition, a rubber band is included to store the extra lace, preventing it from dangling while walking.

Wide Range of Color Options

The available colors include:

• Black
• Olive
• Red
• Yellow

These options range from calm, versatile tones to vibrant colors that stand out at festivals and outdoor events.

In previous CHAMELEON series models, bold colorways were surprisingly popular, and this lineup will certainly appeal to longtime fans who remember the original releases.

Performance Features of the CHAMELEON STORM REDUX

Durable Rugged Mesh Upper

The iconic upper material of the CHAMELEON STORM features rugged mesh with a tread-plate style design.

This material provides excellent abrasion resistance and high durability even in demanding outdoor environments.

In addition, the surface features a water-repellent finish, helping to keep water and dirt from sticking to the shoe.

Fully Waterproof with GORE-TEX

Inside the shoe, GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable technology is used.

It prevents rain and water from entering the shoe while allowing moisture and heat to escape, keeping your feet comfortable even during long periods of wear.

The inner lining also uses mesh material, which helps reduce heat buildup and improve breathability.

MERRELL Original Outsole

Previous models used a Vibram outsole, but this version features a rubber outsole developed exclusively by MERRELL.

Although it is not a Vibram sole, it utilizes MERRELL’s long-developed technology and provides excellent durability and reliable grip for outdoor use.

High Cushioning with FloatMax Foam

The midsole features MERRELL’s proprietary FloatMax Foam.

This material is lightweight and highly resilient, and it is also used in MERRELL’s recovery sandals.

While the cushioning is excellent, compared with MERRELL’s popular trekking shoes MOAB, the feel is slightly firmer and more supportive.

This provides stable and secure walking performance, making it well suited for outdoor environments.

Size Range

The shoes are available in unisex sizing.

Available sizes: 22.0 cm – 30.0 cm

The fit is generally true to size, so choosing the same size you usually wear should work well.

However, since the smaller sizes are based on men’s sizing, women may want to pay extra attention when selecting their size.

Summary | The Long-Awaited Return for Chameleon Fans

MERRELL CHAMELEON STORM REDUX JAPAN GORE-TEX features:

• A Japan-exclusive revival model from the legendary CHAMELEON series
• Complete waterproof protection with GORE-TEX
• A highly durable rugged mesh upper
• Lightweight and responsive FloatMax Foam cushioning

With these features, it is a trekking shoe that performs well both outdoors and in everyday urban settings.

This model is highly recommended not only for those who remember the original CHAMELEON series, but also for people experiencing CHAMELEON shoes for the first time.

The post MERRELL Chameleon Storm Redux Japan GORE-TEX Review | 2026 Revival of the Legendary Trekking Shoe first appeared on FITTWO(フィットツー) 上野のアウトドアショップ.

Hello, this is Seki, the manager of the outdoor shop FITTWO in Ueno, Tokyo.

Today, I’d like to introduce the 2025 Fall/Winter new model from KEEN — the KS MINO.

When you think of KEEN, models like the woven sandal UNEEK and the classic NEWPORT usually come to mind. However, the new KS MINO takes a fresh approach — it’s a sneaker-style model that stands apart from KEEN’s traditional lineup.

While it maintains the functionality you’d expect from an outdoor brand, its sleek and smart design makes it perfect for everyday urban wear as well.

Stylish Design That Works in the City

The KS MINO features a low-cut sneaker design that’s easy to match with everyday outfits.

A bold “K” logo decorates the side, creating a simple yet distinctive look. The eyelets are positioned inward, giving the shoe a clean and uncluttered appearance.

Premium Velour Upper Material

The upper is made from natural velour leather, which has a longer nap than standard suede. This gives it a soft, refined texture with a premium visual finish.

The velour is supple and comfortable from the first wear, molding naturally to your foot. Inside, breathable and quick-drying mesh lining ensures a fresh feel even during long hours of use.

Enhanced Durability with Mudguard

Between the upper and sole, KEEN has added a mudguard. This not only helps block dirt but also increases abrasion resistance for improved durability in outdoor conditions.

Sneaker-Like Comfort

The KS MINO isn’t just about looks — it’s also packed with KEEN’s signature comfort features.

Contoured Fit That Adapts to Your Foot Shape

The footbed uses KEEN’s unique Contoured Fit design, which follows the natural shape of your foot for an ideal balance of comfort and stability.

Its anatomically shaped arch support helps reduce fatigue and prevents instability, making it comfortable even during long walks.

Lightweight, High-Rebound Midsole

The midsole uses a lightweight, high-rebound cushioning material that absorbs shock and delivers sneaker-like comfort.

The thick, resilient insole is removable and washable, allowing you to keep your shoes clean and fresh over time.

Reliable Grip on Any Surface

The outsole features a unique circular lug pattern that offers multi-directional traction, providing a stable grip whether you’re walking in the city or on light trails.

In field tests with other KEEN models using the same sole, we found it delivers excellent traction and stability both on pavement and on uneven ground.

It also features a non-marking sole, so you can wear it indoors without worrying about scuffing floors.

Available in Men’s and Women’s Sizes

The KS MINO is available in sizes for both men and women.

• Men’s: 25.0–28.0, 29.0, 30.0 cm
• Women’s: 22.5–26.0 cm

Perfect for couples or friends who want to match their footwear.

Conclusion｜KEEN’s New Urban Standard: KS MINO

With a classic yet refined look and KEEN’s signature outdoor performance, the KS MINO bridges the gap between outdoor functionality and everyday style.

Lightweight, sneaker-like comfort makes it ideal for city walks or casual outings during the fall and winter seasons. It’s a fresh take on KEEN’s design philosophy — comfortable, functional, and timeless.

The post We Carry KEEN Kids’ Sizes! first appeared on FITTWO(フィットツー) 上野のアウトドアショップ.

Hello!
I’m Seki, the manager of the outdoor shop FITTWO in Ueno.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to the “VOLCAN 35L PACK”, a perfect backpack for commuting, school, and travel, from the American bag brand CHROME.

When it comes to “VOLCAN,” it’s CHROME’s classic square-shaped backpack. In the past, we’ve seen models like the “VOLCAN BACKPACK” and its upgraded version, the “VOLCAN PACK PLUS.” Now, for the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, the latest version has been released, offering even more advanced features!

In this article, I’ll highlight the new features and differences compared to previous models.

If you’d like to know more about the older models, check out the articles below:

https://fittwo.co.jp/%e3%81%99%e3%81%b9%e3%81%a6/review/volcanbackpack/

https://fittwo.co.jp/%e3%81%99%e3%81%b9%e3%81%a6/review/volcanpackplus/

【CHROME】VOLCAN 35L PACK

Key Specifications

Capacity: 35L
Dimensions: W30.5 × H47 × D18 (cm)

Compared to previous VOLCAN models, the new version offers a larger capacity while being lighter, making it more user-friendly than ever.

Recently, more customers have been searching for 35–40L backpacks, especially from brands like CHROME. For those who want a bag that’s both spacious and easy to carry, this is a highly recommended option!

While many other brands also offer square-shaped backpacks, the VOLCAN stands out with its unique “top opening design”. Unlike most models that open from the back panel, the VOLCAN opens toward the far side when worn on the front. This feature makes it much easier to access your belongings, even in tight spaces like trains!

Storage Space

Let’s take a closer look at the storage spaces!

Main Compartment

The main compartment features the same full-open design as the previous model, the “VOLCAN PACK PLUS.” This makes it easy to check and retrieve your belongings!

It also includes a padded laptop sleeve and mesh pockets. The laptop sleeve fits devices up to 17 inches!

Additionally, the pockets are placed in convenient locations for easy access when the bag is worn on the front, allowing you to retrieve your belongings smoothly even while on the move.

You can also adjust the zipper positions to access the main storage without taking the backpack off!

Top Pocket

A new addition to the VOLCAN series is a top pocket! This feature wasn’t available in previous models.

Inside the top pocket, you’ll find a key ring to securely hold your keys or other small items.

Front Pocket

As with previous VOLCAN models, there’s a Velcro-style front storage space.

This time, the internal pocket layout has been slightly updated, and a new fleece-lined pocket has been added. This allows you to store tablets and other delicate items outside of the main compartment!

The new design also features a side-accessible pocket, further enhancing usability.

Side Pocket

Unlike the “VOLCAN PACK PLUS,” which had dual side pockets, the new model features a single, larger pocket on one side.

This pocket is connected internally to the main compartment, making it easier to retrieve items.

Bottle Pocket

As with the previous VOLCAN models, the new version includes bottle pockets on both sides!

This time, the bottle pockets are made of elastic material, which helps maintain the bag’s sleek silhouette when not in use. This thoughtful update improves functionality and aesthetics!

That’s it for the storage spaces!

Other Updates

Shoulder Straps

The new model introduces a curved design for the shoulder straps, offering better comfort and fit, especially for long-term use.

There’s also increased space to attach CHROME accessories like the “PHONE POUCH,” enhancing expandability!

Small but handy updates include elastic bands to keep excess straps from getting in the way!

Back Panel

The back panel has been redesigned to enhance breathability, providing a noticeably cooler and more comfortable experience!

Additionally, considering the increasing demand for travel backpacks, this model now features a strap that allows it to be secured to a carry-on handle. This added functionality makes it even more convenient for traveling!

Conclusion

What do you think?

The new “VOLCAN 35L PACK” is packed with features perfect for commuting, school, and travel!

While offering a large capacity, it has been made lighter and improved with more user-friendly storage spaces. From new convenient pockets and accessory compatibility to the breathable back panel, every detail reflects careful thought and functionality.

Whether for daily use or travel, this backpack is guaranteed to perform well in a variety of situations!

Available in-store and online via the link below, so make sure to check it out!

Hello!

I’m Seki, the store manager of FITTWO, an outdoor shop in Ueno!

Today, I’d like to introduce a perfect item for the winter cold and snow: the Detachable Nuptse Bootie POLARTEC by THE NORTH FACE!

This is the latest addition to the popular Nuptse Bootie winter boot series from THE NORTH FACE, launched for winter 2024!

As the name suggests, the “Detachable” feature means you can remove the upper part of the boot above the ankle. Thanks to this design, you can switch between a full boot and a clog, making it a versatile 2-in-1 design that suits any occasion!

This boot is packed with features to help you survive the cold winter months, making it a perfect choice for the season. Let’s dive into the unique aspects of this amazing product!

https://fittwo.co.jp/%e3%81%99%e3%81%b9%e3%81%a6/review/tnfboot20204/

【THE NORTH FACE】Detachable Nuptse Bootie POLARTEC

Feature 1: 2-in-1 Design for Adjustable Comfort

The standout feature is the removable upper shaft, which zips off above the ankle! This innovative design allows you to switch between a boot style and a clog style, depending on the temperature and occasion.

For instance, you can wear it as a boot when outdoors, then switch to the clog style indoors. On frigid snowy days, it provides full coverage and warmth, while on milder days, the clog style keeps you comfortable. It’s a design that adapts to both your needs and the weather!

Feature 2: High-Performance Materials for Warmth & Waterproofing

These boots feature three advanced materials that ensure reliability even in harsh winter conditions:

POLARTEC WINDPRO

This specially knitted fleece enhances wind resistance while retaining warmth, blocking out cold gusts with ease!

There’s also a non-POLARTEC version of this model available.

THERMOLITE ECOMADE

This high-insulation synthetic fill, commonly used in THE NORTH FACE winter boots, keeps your feet warm and cozy. Made from recycled materials, it’s also environmentally friendly!

The generous filling ensures exceptional warmth for your feet!

HydroSeal

This proprietary waterproof material from THE NORTH FACE ensures your socks stay dry, preventing cold feet caused by wetness!

It’s not just waterproof—HydroSeal is also breathable, reducing moisture buildup inside the boots while keeping water and snow out. Comfortable even for long hours of wear!

Plus, it features water-repellent properties!

Feature 3: Exceptional Grip on Ice

The outsole features the innovative “Vibram ARCTIC GRIP” technology!

Made with special materials, this sole provides outstanding grip on snow, ice, and even slippery wet ice, keeping you safe and steady in all conditions!

Size Range: Unisex and Wide Selection

The boots are available in a unisex size range of 23cm to 29cm!

They pair well with any style, making them perfect for couples or families who want to match!

The post 5 staff recommended items vol.11! (November 2024) first appeared on FITTWO(フィットツー) 上野のアウトドアショップ.

Hello! I’m Seki, the manager of the outdoor shop “FITTWO” in Ueno!

Today, I’d like to introduce two new items for the Fall/Winter 2024 collection from the American bag brand MYSTERY RANCH: the SUPERSET 24 & 32.

What is MYSTERY RANCH?

Let me briefly explain the brand, MYSTERY RANCH…

Founded in the U.S. in 2000, MYSTERY RANCH is an outdoor brand.

Its founders, Dana Gleason and Renee Sippel-Baker, have long pursued the development of durable, comfortable backpacks, aiming to create the world’s best load-bearing backpacks, which is the core mission of MYSTERY RANCH.

The brand offers highly functional bags, even used by the U.S. Navy SEALs. Some of their most iconic bags include:

Bags with Y-shaped zippers for easy access to items at the bottom, materials that don’t make noise for hunters to avoid scaring off game, and military-grade specifications. MYSTERY RANCH offers a wide range of bags, from everyday items to hunting, military, and mountaineering bags.

https://fittwo.co.jp/brand/mysteryranch-2/

SUPERSET 24 & 32

Basic Information

The SUPERSET, which I’m introducing today from MYSTERY RANCH, is a daypack designed for everyday use, commuting, and gym trips, available in two sizes!

Previously, there was a product called the “SUPERSET 30,” but it has been discontinued. The two new items were introduced as part of the Fall/Winter 2024 collection with an updated design!

Although they share the same name as the previous model, this is not just a number change. The new models are significantly different, so please consider them as entirely new bags.

You can check out the previous model in this article.

As the name suggests, the larger model has a 32L capacity. However, despite having “24” in its name, the smaller model actually holds 26L.

Both sizes come equipped with a chest strap and waist strap.

The waist strap comes with velcro, so you can secure it neatly when not in use, avoiding any inconvenience.

Additionally, both straps are detachable, allowing you to streamline the bag when they’re not needed.

The shoulder straps are padded, and the back panel also features firm padding for additional comfort.

The 32L model also includes these straps, which can be tightened to stabilize your load for better weight distribution!

On the top, there are four handles. When you’re sweating or need a break from wearing it on your back, you can carry it like a handheld bag, or hang it from a locker using these handles.

Storage Space

Now, let’s take a closer look at the storage space!

Since there are some differences between the two sizes, we’ll start by introducing the smaller model and then highlight the differences in the larger one!

Main Compartment

The top flap is equipped with drawstrings and buckles, and when opened, it leads directly to the main compartment.

One side features a zipper, so you can access your belongings without having to open the top flap every time—perfect for when you’re wearing the bag!

The zippers extend both up and down, providing easy access to items stored at the bottom of the bag!

The interior also features mesh pockets for easy access when opening the side zipper, along with expandable pockets and a padded laptop sleeve!

The base of the bag is padded to protect your belongings, and the laptop sleeve is raised from the bottom to prevent your device from touching the ground when you set the bag down.

This sleeve is also hydration-pack compatible, and there’s a hole on the back to route the hydration tube.

Additionally, the bag includes loops for attaching quickdraws, carabiners, and other climbing gear!

The top strap is normally secured with velcro, but it can be extended to carry items beyond the bag’s normal capacity!

Just be careful not to lose this velcro, as it isn’t sewn onto the bag.

Side Pockets

Both sides of the bag feature elastic bottle pockets, perfect for keeping your water bottles secure!

On the side with the zipper leading to the main compartment, there’s a horizontally oriented pocket designed for easy access, even while you’re wearing the backpack. On the opposite side, there is an additional internal pocket for extra storage.

Top Pocket

The flap at the top of the bag is also a pocket, providing convenient storage space!

In addition, there’s a smaller zippered pocket for items you need to keep secure.

Extra Features of the 32L Version

That wraps up the storage features of the smaller size. Now let’s look at what sets the larger 32L version apart!

In addition to the features found in the smaller model, the 32L version includes an extra zipper on the side that connects directly to the main laptop compartment.

The bottom of the 32L model also has a separate compartment, ideal for storing shoes or other items you want to keep separate.

Even the side pockets have slight variations for more versatility.

Conclusion

How do these new items from Mystery Ranch’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection sound?

Both sizes provide ample storage space for everything you need in a day, including a dedicated laptop compartment. These bags are perfect for daily use, commuting, and even hitting the gym directly after work!

Despite their urban usability, these bags also feature outdoor-ready specs, making them incredibly versatile!
