On its own, Merrell is responsible for many footwear must-haves for outdoor explorers. In a new partnership with the Japanese-designed Snow Peak brand, the brand is expanding to new levels. Known for their minimalist approach to camping and exploring, Snow Peak has joined this collaboration to create the ultimate sleek sneaker that will rule the trails. The duo has incorporated Gore-Tex technology to upgrade the partnership even more, making it a durable and practical option for your journeys. Taking on one of Merrell’s most recognizable silhouettes, the pair has created a new elevated adventure sneaker far from your typical trail running shoe. 

Hit the trails in the new Snow Peak x Merrell Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX

With a new iteration of Merrell’s Moab Speed 2, Snow Peak’s minimalist and practical approach takes shape to deliver the ultimate trail running sneaker. Equipped with Gore-Tex technology and abrasion resistance, this sneaker is durable enough to withstand rough terrain and any weather. Dark grey takes over the base of the design, with tonal shades adding some contrast to the look. On the bottom, the Vibram outsole offers extra grip for even more security and safety. A PU footbed and EVA midsole deliver more comfort and cushion to last all day. Those looking to add a practical and durable sneaker to their lineup can find the new Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX via Snow Peak’s webstore for $210. Easily wearable as a running/walking shoe or a trail sneaker, this Moab Speed 2 GORE-TEX continues to deliver with each iteration.
