K2 Launches Outdoor Brand 'Nordisk'... "Good News for Camping Enthusiasts"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] K2 Korea Group announced on the 1st that it will newly launch the Danish outdoor brand 'Nordisk' starting from next year's SS season.

Nordisk is a Danish outdoor brand that has been loved by outdoor enthusiasts worldwide for 120 years, known domestically for its polar bear symbol, cotton tents, sleeping bags, and more.

K2 Korea Group plans to develop Nordisk as a 'premium emotional lifestyle outdoor' brand targeting the MZ (Millennial + Generation Z) generation, encompassing various outdoor lifestyles based on Nordisk's camping identity.

To this end, two lines will be introduced: the ‘Spirit’ line, rooted in glamping life, and the ‘Ambition’ line, based on outdoor life. The main collections for the launch season will include apparel inspired by unique emotional camping such as sweatshirts, woven T-shirts, hooded T-shirts, and short-sleeve T-shirts, as well as accessories like cotton-feel backpacks, hats, socks, footwear including sneakers and walking shoes, coolers, and various sizes of container boxes for camping gear.

The goal is to open 40 offline stores including department stores, shopping malls, and dealerships, while also considering partnerships with various online fashion platforms such as K2 Korea Group’s online mall and Musinsa. Aggressive marketing activities including TV commercials are also planned.

A K2 Korea Group official stated, "Traditional outdoor brands were the first generation that opened the door to outdoor activities, and brands that expanded this into a lifestyle are the second generation. Nordisk plans to open the horizon of the third generation outdoor, where consumers can truly enjoy and experience authentic outdoor culture."
