Park Service
America's National Parks are hot right now.
The wild spaces themselves (the system
comprises more than 400 parks, monuments
and trails) are the inspiration behind styles
and collections from a variety of brands.
Farm to Feet has a six-sock
collection celebrating the 40th
anniversary of the 1175-mile,
NC-based Mountains-to-Sea
Trail. The brand also recently
released a limited-edition
Bears Ears sock (seen here).

Chaco's National
Parks Foundation
collection includes
the Z/1 Yosemite
Sunset sandal.
Pendleton just launched footwear with a collection of women's
short and tall boots with styles that use the Pendleton brand's
historic National Park patterns as a key part of the mix.
Brooks' REI-exclusive National Parks editions of its Cascadia trail
running shoe see the brand donating 5 percent of the wholesale
cost of each of the five Cascadia colorways (and the associated
tees), up to $50,000, to the National Parks Foundation.
