World's First The North Face Footwear Concept Store to Open in Shinsaibashi: 'THE NORTH FACE FOOTWEAR SHINSAIBASHI'

Goldwin Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takao Watanabe) will open 'THE NORTH FACE FOOTWEAR SHINSAIBASHI' on April 25, 2026. This store, located on the 4th floor of the new commercial facility 'QUARTZ SHINSAIBASHI' in Osaka, marks the brand's first-ever concept shop worldwide dedicated primarily to footwear.

The store concept is 'Evolve in Motion' — Progress lives in every step. This reflects the brand's desire to support the 'evolution of movement' born from the connection between nature, gear, community, and people. The store interior is designed to allow customers to experience the brand's commitment to the co-evolution of people and gear within a constantly changing natural environment.

As part of its experiential content, the store will feature a permanent 3D scanning device, 'SIDAS FEET BOX EVO,' provided by Sidas Japan K.K. This technology visualizes foot issues such as individual habits and differences between the left and right foot. On-site staff with professional shoe-fitter certifications will recommend the best footwear tailored to each customer's lifestyle.

Additionally, the store will offer a 'Resole Service' in collaboration with Vibram Japan K.K. Customers can choose from nine different types of Vibram Soles (available at launch) to replace worn-out outsoles. This service not only allows customers to enjoy their footwear as unique, original items but also aligns with Goldwin's sustainability efforts by extending the life of the products.
