The North Face Reissues the Hedgehog 06 Shoes for 2024

— September 17, 2024 — Fashion
The North Face introduces a look at the reimagined Hedgehog 06 sneaker model. It has a chunky and rugged design language that brings attention to its functionality first and foremost. The shoes are reissued for the year as it was originally designed back in 2006.

This time around, it will be available at select stockists and retails for the price of $200. It retains the chunky silhouette with molded TPU hardware paired together with the toe protection at the front. This is a sturdy outdoor shoe with a waterproof finish in the form of the GORE-TEX OAK boot design. To meet its sustainability standards, the shoes are made with 100% recycled fabric materials to prevent the feet from getting wet.
