The Snow Peak x Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx SP has been developed in collaboration between the brands as a footwear style that's ready to support wearers when partaking in the ultimate training on the trails. The footwear style maintains a decidedly slim silhouette that puts a focus on minimalism on the trail, which sets it apart from the competition. The upper on the shoe is achieved with a MATRYX material alongside +TPU that's achieved with Kevlar and polyamide. The black-on-black details on the shoe give it a chic profile that will look right at home on city streets between training sessions.
The Snow Peak x Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx SP will make its formal debut at Snow Peak's stores and online starting August 8, 2025.
