Too often are basic running shoes used to battle off-trail conditions. The result? Outsoles that are embarrassingly worn into the ground and an upper that is a shell of its former self. Instead, Merrell wants you to hit any trail with confidence in the latest iteration of the Moab Speed. Whether intended for the great outdoors or the city streets, the sneaker is primed to endure the elements through its sturdy, breathable and lightweight construction. Available in a variety of options — from Black, Granite and Black/Asphalt, to flashier, more trail-inspired hues, such as Black/Multi and Tangerine — each iteration sports a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane with mesh and recycled TPU reinforcements across the base. Additional details include 100-percent recycled laces, Merrell’s FloatPro Foam™ midsole offering a comfortable and lightweight fit atop of Vibram’s ECOSTEP recycled rubber lug outsole. The Merrell Moab Speed is available to purchase in both a low-cut and mid option for £135 GBP / $165 USD and £145 GBP / $177 USD, respectively.

If there ever was a techno-futuristic sorbet of a shoe, it would likely be the ASICS x Brain Dead GEL-Nimbus 9. Always ones to push boundaries, Brain Dead bypasses any semblance of a neutral kick to present a flashy runner that will make a statement with every wear.Colorful and chaotic, the sneaker is dressed down in a medley of punchy pinks and maroon across the upper, along with fluorescent orange along the heel counter and toe-box. Balancing out the red-dominant pastiche are hits of mint on the base and an olive midsole and outsole. Additional highlights include the Brain Dead and ASICS co-branding on the rubber tongue label and heel, as well as obsidian rope laces. Appearing in a number of collaborations as of late, from Florence Tétier to Cecilie Bahnsen, Brain Dead’s iteration of the GEL-Nimbus 9 stands out amongst the pack for its uncompromising approach to color. Keep your eyes peeled as more information regarding the price and release date are revealed in the coming weeks. Elsewhere, Gal Gadot spotlights RHU multicolor running trainers.
