The brand FLOWER MOUNTAIN was founded by Keisuke Ota and Yan Chao, united by their love for mountain hiking, outdoor activities, and, of course, footwear. The idea to create the brand came to them during a joint trip to Mount Fuji in 2015, which inspired the nature-themed design. FLOWER MOUNTAIN shoes are handmade from natural materials, with each pair featuring a cork insole that helps regulate moisture levels. This process takes more time, but the design and comfort make up for it. The production is based in Japan, but the brand’s footwear can be purchased in most major boutiques around the world.
