On March 12, K2 unveiled the Multiply Riser, a fresh take on the multi-road shoe.
Designed to move seamlessly from hiking and trekking to travel, daily walks and everyday life, the Multiply Riser aims to bridge the gap between outdoor performance and street-ready style.
Lightweight performance is a key selling point. In a 260mm size (about 10.2 in), the shoe weighs under 300 g (roughly 10.6 oz), cutting foot fatigue during long days on your feet. The upper uses a durable diamond ripstop weave, and a six-point wire-link system tied into the laces wraps the foot for a secure, stable fit that minimizes wobble.
A rubber sheet running from the toe cap to the mudguard adds impact protection, while the midsole houses K2’s in-house Satisform for boosted cushioning and rebound. The outsole features Thin Base Lug technology, which trims base thickness to reduce weight without sacrificing traction. Available in black, cream and gray, the Multiply Riser is priced at ₩199,000 (about $135).
Shin Dong-jun, director of K2’s Footwear Planning Team, said the Multiply Riser combines outdoor tech with everyday sensibility and is an ideal pick for spring outings and travel.

Xexymix announced on the 12th the launch of its 2026 spring/summer RX Running Line, refreshed with upgraded functionality and sharper design.
Built for warmer months, the line employs breathable mesh and Air Dot fabrics to keep airflow high. High-elasticity materials add tension and durability so pieces move with you during dynamic activities like running.
Standouts include the RX Men’s Gradient AirFit Windbreaker, which uses a gradient color treatment for a bold look. The hood is finished with a concealed band to boost wind resistance, and the design resists stretching to keep a clean silhouette.
For women, the RX Black Label Signature 360N Reflective Bra Top mixes style with support. Reflective strap lettering adds a graphic touch, while a wide, stretchy band provides secure hold during high-movement workouts.
Xexymix is seeing strong momentum in the running-wear category. The company said running-wear sales jumped 117% year over year to ₩19.6 billion (about $13,328,000) last year. The RX Airlight Jacket also earned top marks in key areas like thermal retention and air permeability in a running-jacket quality comparison by the Korea Consumer Agency, underscoring the product's competitiveness.
A Xexymix spokesperson said the brand will keep rolling out designs that meet customer demand in both form and function, and will broaden its market presence with a diverse product lineup.

Hanse M.K. said it will expand its Playkidz-Pro multi-store concept by launching more combined locations with children’s brand Moimoln.
The combo stores pair baby and toddler products with sports-focused kidswear in a single space, enabling tailored offerings for each stage of a child’s growth. Store layouts are designed so families can shop for multiple needs in one visit.
The rollout is underway: the format currently operates at 18 locations nationwide, including Mungyeong and Jeongeup, and the company plans to open six more stores by the end of the month. It is also considering an additional two to three new outlets. Hanse M.K. said it will expand the concept using a regional-hub model centered on road-shop commercial areas.
Merchandise spans newborns through juniors (up to age 15), a strategy aimed at building long-term customer relationships across a wide age range. A unified brand membership will offer tiered benefits and promotions based on purchase history to boost repeat visits and loyalty.
Kim Ji-won, CEO of Hanse M.K., said the combined store format will broaden customer touchpoints and create a stable foundation for offline growth.

LF said its French luxury fashion house Leonard has introduced a new capsule line called Leonard 31, aimed at younger customers.
Launched on the 12th, the capsule keeps Leonard’s signature identity but refreshes it with modern touches. Leonard 31 updates silhouettes, colorways and detailing rooted in the brand’s classic DNA to deliver an urbane, polished look with Parisian ease. The name “31” references Leonard’s French headquarters address.
The debut collection reimagines Leonard’s iconic floral prints in contemporary ways and uses lightweight cotton voile, denim and rib jersey. The lineup prioritizes everyday wardrobe staples—trench coats, shirts and denim—adding comfort and practicality to the brand’s high-end heritage to better connect with younger buyers.
The collection accents Leonard’s signature popping pink and pairs it with light blue, soft yellow and optical white for an upbeat palette. Strategic use of prints, sequins and embroidery keeps Leonard’s heritage visible.
An LF representative said Leonard will continue to grow as a high-end brand grounded in craftsmanship and aesthetics that resonate across generations.
