ECCO Kollektive 2026 brings three guest designers together to rework the Danish shoe brand’s classic silhouettes, pairing longtime ECCO craftsmanship with exaggerated proportions and updated technical details.
For its 2026 fall and winter range, ECCO has relaunched the ECCO Kollektive program, inviting designers Craig Green, Natacha Ramsay-Levi and Yosuke Aizawa to reinterpret the brand’s leatherwork, construction techniques and signature shoe shapes, ECCO said in a statement.
The program is intended to encourage creative exchange, the brand added, with each designer approaching ECCO’s archives from a distinct design perspective to give classic models a fresh look.
Natacha Ramsay-Levi, who first worked with ECCO on the inaugural ECCO Kollektive project in 2022 and later became the brand’s first Creative Partner, returned for this season. ECCO said she revisits early project elements and applies larger, more sculptural proportions, stronger structures and contrasting details to models such as the Joke silhouette.
The line also updates performance and sport-oriented models, including the ECCO Biom 720, Biom Lite and Receptor XP, the company said, keeping ECCO comfort while offering sharper visual profiles.
Craig Green continued a collaborative relationship that began with ECCO in 2025, when the two worked on runway footwear and leather goods. For ECCO Kollektive 2026 he focused on function and craft, refining proportions, structure and surface treatments on classic styles such as the ECCO Soft Classic, Receptor XP and Walker 3.0.
ECCO noted Green chose not to alter the core silhouettes dramatically; instead he layered subtle textural and structural details to highlight the balance between design and the brand’s technical processes.
Yosuke Aizawa approached the collection from an outdoor-performance angle, adapting ECCO shapes for urban exploration and agile movement. His work revisits the Receptor XP, Walker 3.0 and Track 25, adding details meant to suit a variety of daily activities and mixed wardrobes while preserving ECCO’s emphasis on comfort and function.
Speaking about the season, ECCO global creative director Niki Tæstensen said the three collaborators each brought a unique voice to ECCO’s archives, and that the project demonstrates how ECCO’s craftsmanship and design system can be reshaped across different languages of design.
ECCO Kollektive 2026 follows last season’s collaboration with Eckhaus Latta for the brand’s 2025 fall and winter collection. ECCO said past collaborators on the program include Peter Do, Kiko Kostadinov, Nina Christen, Louis-Gabriel Nouchi and Ottolinger.
With the new collection ECCO aims to expand the visual and technical vocabulary of its classic shoes through cross-disciplinary partnerships, the company added, while keeping the brand’s signature focus on leatherwork and ergonomic construction.
