Designer - Fred Nicole

Climbing legend Fred Nicole pushed the boundaries with the design of the “Step.” Drawing on decades of experience and a deep understanding of movement, Fred packed serious performance technology into a silhouette that appears deceptively simple—creating one of the most advanced "intro" shoes on the market.

The design has been so widely embraced by our global distributors that it opened the door for a special color and print collaboration. Blossom White was conceived by our partners in Korea, drawing inspiration from cherry blossoms in full bloom and the arrival of spring.
