The Trailgrip Apex2 GTX brings Moncler’s hiking DNA into smart urban streets, pairing heritage performance tech with modern polish. The updated sneaker features a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, lightweight EVA midsole, and carbon-fiber footplate for stability, all grounded on a Vibram MEGAGRIP rubber tread.
Textural contrasts like nubuck side panels, “caviar” leather overlays, and monotone metallic eyelets, elevate the silhouette, while autumnal tones like white, burgundy, brown, and ivory make it equally suited for the city or the trail. Purpose-built for mobility, it also includes breathable OrthoLite insoles for comfort and a cleaner, sleeker shape compared to its predecessor. The design reaffirms Moncler’s ability to merge mountain-born resilience with refined citywear. Ready for all terrains, the Trailgrip Apex2 GTX advances both style and substance in one bold stride.
