HAKONE V.2: THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED, EXPERTLY CRAFTED
The Hakone V2 is the next evolution in Neutra’s collection, where clean design meets high-quality craftsmanship. Inspired by Japanese sneaker silhouettes and the enduring spirit of the Hakone Ekiden race, this model reflects Neutra’s commitment to timeless aesthetics, balance, and simplicity.
MATERIALS THAT MATTER
Every element of the Hakone V.2 is carefully chosen to deliver both performance and style. Butter-soft Italian leathers, durable Cordura textiles, breathable mesh, and Vibram soles come together to create a sneaker that feels as good as it looks. This model stays true to traditional craftsmanship, reinterpreting the refined construction of classic brown shoes into a modern sneaker.
IMPROVED DESIGN, SAME COMFORT
The original Hakone is known for its timeless design, incredible comfort and glove-like fit, and the Hakone V2 builds on that foundation. The updated design introduces more paneling, adding visual depth while maintaining the clean lines and proportions that define the silhouette.
Inspired by Japanese Simplicity Designed by Bertrand Aznar, the Hakone V2 takes cues from Japanese design principles, focusing on purity, proportion, and harmony. Its name pays tribute to the world famous Hakone Ekiden, a legendary long-distance relay race that represents precision, endurance, and tradition, values that resonate deeply with Neutra’s philosophy. The Hakone V2 is all about clean lines, balanced design, and good proportions.
