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.

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.

Although it might seem like a collaboration with a particular soft drink, New Balance’s latest 9060 sneaker is an in-house project that exudes color. Similar to the recently announced ‘Cyber Jade,’ the new sneaker from the athletic company is a bold composition of color far from its typical neutrals and monochromatic color palettes. A far cry from last month’s ‘Grey Days,’ the New Balance 9060 has been reworked to incorporate colors and hues that make it feel like a true summer sneaker.

While its official release is still to be announced, this version of the New Balance 9060 is only part of the releases the brand has planned for the model this year. Although this might be the brand’s most colorful version thus far, it doesn’t mean it’s any less of a performance sneaker than its predecessors. A vibrant pop to add to your wardrobe, get ready for one of New Balance’s most statement sneakers of 2025.
