This Yamano 3 trainer is what Japanese brand Flower Mountain is all about. It's a panelled trainer that borrows its chunky ultra-light rubber sole, two-tone trekking laces and rugged profile from hiking footwear, but dresses that functionality up with striking colourways and premium fabric combos. The upper mixes suede with breathable mesh and Flower Mountain's signature floral perforations, while inside there's a leather lining and antibacterial cork insole that moulds to your feet over time.
These trainers fit true to size. If you're between sizes, we'd suggest sizing up.

Flower Mountain makes high-performance outdoor footwear, dressed up in bold Japanese colour palettes and unexpected fabric combos. Founded in 2015 by two outdoorsy pals – Keisuke Ota from Tokyo and Yang Chao from Beijing – the brand name came from a hike up Mount Fuji, where the pair stumbled across a field of dandelions blooming through the mist. That blend of delicate and rugged, aesthetic and technical, gave them a 'bing' sort of lightbulb moment, and Flower Mountain was born.
Specialising in trainers, their build quality is really impressive. Think Vibram outsoles from the hiking world; cork insoles that mould to your feet over time; leather linings for breathability, and Japanese fabrics that age beautifully and resist fading. These aren't fashion kicks that you're supposed to clean with a bleachy toothbrush after every outing – they're built for heavy wear and year-on-year adventures.
We reckon they're the footwear equivalent of a colourful Buff – a pop of personality that elevates your outdoor duds without compromising on function.
