We're hyped about Hike-ish because it's a multi-year program with a brand who's also focused on helping people reconnect with nature, specifically through long term partnership and not just one-off events. We also believe that folks like to look and feel good outside, and Salomon is a company designing products at this fascinating intersection of fashion and function.
