ARC'TERYX in FUKUOKA

Arc'teryx descends on Fukuoka! The origin of the outdoor store depicted by ON AIR.

ARC'TERYX, which opened directly managed stores in Ginza and Shinsaibashi in quick succession as the season turns to autumn, has done it again. Next, ARC'TERRIX opened its first street store in the Kyushu area in Fukuoka, one of Asia's hub cities. While taking on the role of promoting the brand in the city, the store also took on the challenge of involving local artists. The store is a clear expression of what an outdoor store should be.

1F WOMENS & ACCESSORIES The space is designed to give a sense of the mountain scenery.

The location is Tenjin Nishidori, Fukuoka's most popular fashion spot. Among the unique stores lining the street, Arc'teryx Fukuoka Tenjin Brand Store has created a particularly impressive facade. Wooden louvers cut into random thicknesses decorate the facade, and the iconic Arc'teryx logo is placed between the louvers.

The first floor features women's wear as well as accessories such as bag packs and harnesses. A feminine wardrobe colored in pale tones and pastels is arranged by model, and bags including the redesigned "Arrow" are neatly laid out on the back wall. Harnesses are worn by torsos dressed in Arc'teryx clothing, so that visitors can actually hold them in their hands as if they were in a mountain scene.

The remodeled "Arrow" has improved cushioning on the back that touches the back. It is available in two sizes: a 22L type (33,000 yen) that can be used for travel, and a 16L type (29,700 yen) suitable for daily use.

Among the many bags in the collection, the HILIADO 10 ¥7,700 is particularly popular, with its slim, urban shape and compact 10L type that can be carried lightly and can be used both in the city and outdoors without stress.

Illustrator NONCHELEEE has gained popularity for his unique touch, which somehow infuses a musical groove into his humorous portrayals of people. He was the DJ at the opening party.
