The first thing you'll notice about the Yamabushi is the side-lacing system – tubular laces threaded through contrasting eyelets on the flanks rather than across the top. It's part trail runner, part something you've never quite seen before, and 100% Flower Mountain. If you're not familiar with this Japanese trainer brand, then this sort of quirky-yet-functional style is very much their USP, along with bold colourways and mixed premium fabrics. Underneath all that personality, the Yamabushi is a comfortable, high-performing bit of footwear, offering a ripstop and suede upper, leather and fabric lining, antibacterial cork insole, and a chunky rubber sole with grippy toothed tread.
These trainers fit true to size. If you're between sizes, we'd suggest sizing up.

Flower Mountain makes high-performance outdoor footwear, dressed up in bold Japanese colour palettes and unexpected fabric combos. Founded in 2015 by two outdoorsy pals – Keisuke Ota from Tokyo and Yang Chao from Beijing – the brand name came from a hike up Mount Fuji, where the pair stumbled across a field of dandelions blooming through the mist. That blend of delicate and rugged, aesthetic and technical, gave them a 'bing' sort of lightbulb moment, and Flower Mountain was born.
Specialising in trainers, their build quality is really impressive. Think Vibram outsoles from the hiking world; cork insoles that mould to your feet over time; leather linings for breathability, and Japanese fabrics that age beautifully and resist fading. These aren't fashion kicks that you're supposed to clean with a bleachy toothbrush after every outing – they're built for heavy wear and year-on-year adventures.
We reckon they're the footwear equivalent of a colourful Buff – a pop of personality that elevates your outdoor duds without compromising on function.
