One of the novelties of Merrell for spring 2024 is the new Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx, one of the most prominent and fastest models of the brand that presents interesting new features, to make it an even more complete model than it was, thanks, above all, to its incorporation of Matryx fabric in the upper, which will give a plus of resistance and protection to the whole set.
The Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx is a trail running shoe that in addition to arriving with availability in different shades of colors to not go unnoticed while running in the mountains, will implement a change of the most fundamental in its upper, incorporating the aforementioned Matryx fabric durability and improved protection. A detail as simple as effective that will offer a leap in quality to a model that era already a bestseller.
Merrell will continue to make a strong commitment to the development of new trail running models through the Merrell Test Lab, where the brand's athletes test products in order to achieve high performance shoes that can be used in competitions, but that can also be offered to the most demanding runners in the peloton. Based on this, the improvement of Merrell's legendary trail running shoes, the MTL Long Sky 2, involves the incorporation of Kevlar fabric in its upper.
As we said, the big difference with the Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 is that the upper will feature Matryx technology, an improved technology with a new one-piece mesh upper that incorporates Kevlar filaments to reinforce the shoe's durability.
In addition, the upper will improve breathability, strength and protection, as well as the precise fit of the foot inside the shoe, necessary for comfortable and fast long-distance running.
Despite the innovations and changes, we cannot deny that the shoe will continue to be one of the safe bets for all those fast runners of light weight and with a good running technique who need a shoe with guarantees for their long distance competitions.
A model that will maintain its competitive essence to offer avid paces to all mountain runners. In summary, a very complete model created to offer safety at all times and situations and that constitutes an ideal medium and long distance profile for medium weight runners.
Some of the most important details of these new Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx are found, as is logical, in their upper. With the Matryx compound wrapping the foot with a one-piece Kevlar layer, this new model will offer much more protection and durability without neglecting breathability.
Another aspect that is improved in the Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx is that of comfort as it will have more padding, although less than in other models of the brand, along with a new tongue that will help reduce moisture and regulate the temperature of our feet, keeping them dry at all times. In addition, it will also incorporate a new insole, very soft and that will provide extra reactivity in our strides.
As if that were not enough, the outsole of this model of trail runnig for men and women stands out for being made from Vibram technology. Specifically, the Vibram Megagrip compound, which will offer perfect grip and traction at all times so that you do not stop enjoying your run.
