What to know about CAMPERLAB
Camper's shoe lab, not Camper
It runs as the experimental arm of the family-owned Mallorcan footwear house Camper, with its own creative direction, Paris runway shows and standalone stores.
Shapes are deliberately strange
Chunky Traktori derbies, exaggerated boots, sculpted sneakers and toe-cap experiments in loud colorways and unorthodox materials, mostly cut as unisex.
Designer prices, footwear-first range
Sold at med-high through its own stores in New York, Tokyo, Milan and London plus retailers like SSENSE, with apparel, socks and accessories built around the shoes.

CAMPERLAB is the experimental line of Camper, the family-owned Spanish footwear house based in Inca, Mallorca. Relaunched in 2015 under Romain Kremer and led since 2019 by Finnish creative director Achilles Ion Gabriel, it builds surrealist, largely unisex footwear — chunky Traktori derbies, exaggerated boots, sculpted sneakers and toe-cap experiments — plus apparel, socks and accessories in loud colorways and unorthodox materials. Collections show on the Paris calendar, and dedicated CAMPERLAB stores operate in cities including New York, Milan, Tokyo, Barcelona, Madrid, London and Berlin, with wholesale through designer retailers such as SSENSE.
