There’s a strange thing that happens when you spend enough time running trails. You stop seeing nature as a backdrop and start seeing it as a neighbor.
You notice the bird that always seems to be in the same meadow at dawn. You slow down for the lizard sunning itself on a rock. You start to notice the lives happening alongside your own.
That’s the spirit behind the Earth Collection.
We didn’t set out to make “animal prints.” We wanted to carry stories. Stories of animals we’ve met, animals we’ve helped, and some we may never get to see again.
Because if the outdoors gives us so much, the least we can do is pay attention to who we share it with.
Daidai: The Cat Who Sat Funny
If you’ve seen the little black-and-white cat sitting with his legs stretched out and his tongue peeking out, you’ve already met Daidai.
He wasn’t always an Outopia office legend. He started on the streets, injured, alone, and unlikely to make it. But someone stopped. Someone took him in. After he recovered, he kept those two funny habits - splayed legs, permanent tiny blep - and somehow, they became the exact things everyone loved most about him.
Daidai’s print is our quiet nod to the idea that the animals we “rescue” often end up rescuing us right back. And that there are thousands of Daidais out there, waiting for someone to notice them. Adopt, don’t shop. It’s that simple.
The Slender-billed Curlew: Gone, But Not Forgotten
Some stories aren’t happy ones. They’re warnings.
The Slender-billed Curlew used to move through the wetlands and forests of Siberia like a ghost—rare, graceful, barely seen. But “rare” turned to “gone,” and in October 2025, the species was declared extinct. Not in a history book. In our lifetime.
We put the Curlew on a shirt not to be morbid, but to be honest. Extinction isn’t a dinosaur story. It’s happening while we’re busy with our own lives. The black-and-white woodblock style is intentional: it feels like a memory, because that’s what this bird is now. A memory.
No Planet B isn’t a slogan. It’s a promise to stay awake.
Wangwang: Found on the Course
In late 2024, during an Outopia race, someone spotted a small dog shivering in the grass near the course. Early winter. Cold morning. No owner in sight.
That dog became Wangwang.
With a little help from a lot of kind people, he made his way to Shanghai and into the home of one of our designers. The Wangwang print is for those moments when the trail gives you something you weren’t looking for - a friend, a connection, a reminder that the best encounters are the unplanned ones.
What We Carry
The Earth Collection isn’t really about clothing. It’s about carrying something forward.
A rescued cat who now owns the office couch. A bird we’ll never see again, but refuse to forget. A stray dog who stumbled into a race and found a family.
When you wear these prints, you’re wearing a small reminder that every life matters, every action counts, and the outdoors isn’t just ours to use - it’s ours to care for.
That’s what Love Earth means to us. Not perfection. Just paying attention.
And then taking a step forward.
