Snow PeakandMerrellhave teamed up for a second collaboration, this time reinterpreting the 2022-born MTL LONG SKY 2 trail runner. Sharing a passion for the outdoors, the Japanese brand and the American performance label present the MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx SP, an ultra-durable variant in a minimal all-black colorway.
Departing from the super chunky silhouette of their jointMoab Speed 2 GORE-TEXreleased in the Spring, the MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx SP is a much slimmer model with a pared-back upper. However, the minimal trail running sneaker packs a punch with its technical details.
The upper features a MATRYX® upper with +TPU reinforcement, a tough multifilament blend of Kevlar fiber and high-strength polyamide. This enhancement adds strong abrasion resistance and minimizes stretching, allowing for a simplistic upper with reduced overlays and a breathable feel.
Unlike the previous gray pair from the collaborators, Snow Peak recasts this model with black-on-black details, evoking the charcoal of an outdoor campfire. In addition to a tonal Merrell wordmark stretching across the lateral panel, the Snow Peak logo is shown on the heel and insole.
In recent seasons, Merrell has hiked its contemporary collaborations, unveiling an avant-garde moc withcôte&cielin late June and a suede mule with London-based brandYMCin March.
Set for release on August 8 at Snow Peak's physical locations andwebstore.
