END. PRESENTS 'NORTH SEA' WITH CROCS, AND WANDER & RETAW

Unveiling the beginning of their 20th anniversary celebrations, British retailer END. visit their beloved North East coastline to honour this momentous milestone. Split into three sections, the 'Coastal' collection captures all the pleasures of the seaside, from the culinary delights of the traditional chippy and the rugged beauty of the North Sea to the joys of the neon-tinged arcade.  

Submerging further in its coastal theme, END.’s collection looks to the North Sea for inspiration in their second capsule. Collaborating with Crocs and and wander, watery prints, all-weather protection and darker tones take centre stage across the collection’s apparel and footwear. A three-way union between END., and wander and Crocs sees the brands deliver a utilitarian footwear style perfected for coastal walks. Decked out in a stealthy all black colourway, the adapted Trailbreak 2 silhouette blends trail aesthetics with water sports functionality. A neoprene boot is sealed with a protective taped zip closure, while tonal branding from and wander and crocs details the ankle and the side wall. The shoe’s chunky sole unit extends around the forefoot, while the collection’s tonal water print subtly connects the style to its oceanic influence. 

Upping the ante with a 10-piece apparel and accessory collection from and wander, END. and the Japanese outdoor experts ensure you’re kitted out for a trip to the beach, whatever the weather. Covered in a subtle watery print across the capsule, the Nylon Print Jacket, Print Hat and Print Poncho offer wind and rain protection when the conditions change. A Cooler Box, bottle and beach towel are each detailed with the collaboration’s surfboard graphic, while a handy key float will make sure you don’t lose anything precious at sea. Finished with printed END. branding, the collection distils the beauty of the surf, with the Nylon Print Short Pant and Print Pocket tees further platforming the ‘North Sea’ capsule’s core print.  

Complete with the 'Ashore' candle from retaW, the Japanese brand present a candle with top notes of bergamot and pine needle, olibanum and cedarwood in the middle, rounded off with final notes of sandalwood, amber and oud, housed in a silver glass and featuring a crackle wick to emulate the sound of a roaring campfire.
