The Danish shoe brand ECCO is pleased to present the new autumn/winter 2026 collection at Micam. The fair takes place from February 22nd to 24th. The project celebrates nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and innovation.
Inspired by the concept of ‘rewilding’, the collection explores the deep connection between humans and the environment. She reinterprets the textures, colors and shapes of nature through a contemporary and responsible approach.
The men’s collection is inspired by the winter landscapes of the Arctic and Greenland. It expresses a sophisticated harmony between comfort, functionality and performance. The color palette develops from dark brown tones with accents of purple, camel and a surprising hint of petrol. These are reminiscent of the changing shades of nature.
“We chose tonal variations that reflect the ever-changing nuances of nature,” says Nhallely Marie Gustafsson, designer at ECCO.
The FW26 collection represents the essence of the brand. It is a rediscovery of identity through nature, more than just a reinvention. Newly mixed materials, embossing and innovative finishes create models. These combine a casual and sophisticated style and remain true to ECCO’s philosophy.
The women’s line is inspired by the creative universe of the Danish painter Mie Olise Kjærgaard. She is known for her dynamic brushstrokes and her ability to transform youth and femininity into acts of artistic rebellion.
The color palettes – mauve, chili red and taupe, brightened by pink tones – elegantly interpret the duality of energy and delicacy. They suit both casual and sophisticated looks.
This season also marks the return of some iconic models in the men’s collection. Below, the Walker 3.0, a historic symbol of the brand, is given a modern rebirth. It features soft lines, relaxed silhouettes and high-quality leather in vintage brown tones.
“In uncertain times, styles that evoke the positivity of the past resonate strongly,” comments Felix Zahn, category director for the men’s collection at ECCO.
The iconic JOKE sneaker is reinterpreted with new leather treatments. It combines tradition and zeitgeist in a timeless design.
In 2026, ECCO will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ECCO RECEPTOR® technology. This happens with the introduction of the new RECEPTOR XP (Xtreme Performance). The sneaker integrates elements from the outdoor sector and reinterprets the styles of the 90s for a modern and dynamic audience.
For over fifty years, ECCO has combined Scandinavian design, technological innovation and craftsmanship. This is how shoes and accessories are created that redefine the concept of comfort and quality.
With the Fall/Winter 2026 collection, the brand renews its commitment to fashion that combines functionality, aesthetics and sustainability. She looks to the future without forgetting her roots.
