Flower Mountain: It all began at a rock festival
The Flower Mountain brand is comparatively young. The label only launched its first collection in 2015. Keisuke Ota from Tokyo and Yang Chao from Beijing are behind Flower Mountain. They met at the Fuji Rock Festival and quickly realised their shared passions for trekking, festivals and shoes. Together with Federica Wang, the two founders created the first Flower Mountain shoes. The goal: to harmonise robust, functional trekking shoes with traditional Japanese designs. Just a few weeks later, Shoes Bar Beijing - a well-known sneaker store in Beijing - took notice of the first models. In 2016, a cooperation with the Italian shoe manufacturer Falc followed. Falc was so enthusiastic about the Flower Mountain sneakers that it provided the still young brand with a small team for product and design development. Flower Mountain became known all over the world, beyond the Asian borders.
