Introducing Roark’s Fall 2023 Collection: Far Out East, a new offering that promises to infuse the spirit of adventure into fashion. Inspired by Roark’s latest travels through Hokkaido, Japan, the collection brings to life the Kushiro region’s natural wonders, the Sapporo urban allure, and the mystic skate spots along the barren coastline. Roark’s team has ventured through freezing temperatures and steaming volcanoes to create a range inspired by the respect for nature and heritage found in Hokkaido’s vivid fall season and powdery winter months.
