The Huckberry x Merrell Agility Peak 5 Trail Sneaker has been created in collaboration between the brands as a trail-ready footwear style perfect for keeping athletes agile when exploring off-road locations.
The shoe features an SBR mesh collar and tongue that lead to the Vibram MegaGrip outsole with traction lugs and FLEXconnect grooves, which are rated to increase shoe-to-ground contact area by 50%. The sneakers feature a color scheme chosen by Huckberry to pay homage to the American West with locations like Death Valley acting as the inspiration. The abrasion-resistant toe cap offers just the right level of protection for wearers in the wild.
