For the second time this year, Adsum and Merrell 1TRL have teamed up to present the 1TRL MTL Long Sky, a grippy and breathable runner designed to withstand the most treacherous of conditions.The duo — who teamed up earlier this year for a MOAB 2 and towards the end of 2021 for a cozy take on the Hut Moc — have reworked the Long Sky this time around, a silhouette developed in the Merrell Test Lab by famed ultrarunner Anna Frost, winner of the Hardrock 100 and Transvulcania.That being the case, durability in the Adsum Merrell Long Sky is paramount. Equipped with a grippy 5MM Vibram MegaGrip outsole, the sneaker houses a tear resistant knit upper beneath a series of TPU overlays, which is both breathable and quick-drying, too.The large reflective transfer curls from the midfoot to the toe box found on the original Merrell Long Sky has been replaced with a reflective Adsum logotype, rounding out a subtle yet highly-technical collaboration.

This season Saucony is taking its sustainability efforts to the next level by unveiling its “Saucony RFG Pack”, an eco-friendly footwear capsule comprising updated takes on the Jazz Court, Shadow 6000 and Jazz 81.The label — which recently dropped a tropical-colored Grid Azura 2000 — has utilized nature’s waste, and created each sneaker in the “RFG Pack” with Piñatex, a by-product of pineapple farming that’s been transformed into a plant-based alternative to leather.Each upper boasts Piñatex® panels which have been fused together using recycled fabrics, along a partially plant-based mesh and hemp laces, resulting in an earth feel to each style. Arriving in shades of “Sage” and “Artichoke”, each sneaker is rounded out with a pineapple on the tongue — a nod to the roots of Piñatex®.The Jazz Court RFG is available to buy now, while the Jazz 81 RFG and Shadow 6000 RFG both look set to drop via the Saucony webstore on July 1.
