Collection: Hiker Trash

Hiker Trash was founded in 2017 in an Osaka izakaya by our friend Ryosuke Kawato, or Sketch as he's known on the trail for the illustrations he makes as he walks. Back then Sketch happened to be having drinks with a friend from a legendary sock maker based in Nara and he was talking about his upcoming 5000km Continental Divide thru-hike and they agreed to knit him the perfect sock for the job. Since then Sketch has walked all three of the triple crown thru-hikes and on the other side Hiker Trash was born. 

Sketch is one of the nicest and silliest people we've met since opening the shop, however he's serious about socks. Made in Japan, perfect for New Zealand trails.
