Danner, a brand long known for rugged boots, has released new sneakers with technical upgrades through recent collaborations.
The company launched the N45 MAX trail sneaker in partnership with Osprey. This model uses nitrogen-infused foam for better shock absorption, an open-cell polyurethane footbed for airflow, and a Vibram Megagrip sole for traction. The collaborative version has a chunkier profile and bolder color options than the standard N45 shoe.
New Balance has introduced a new version of its trail shoe that combines a rugged black design with waterproof technology. The Dunasoft Nitrel V6 GTX GORE-TEX model aims to offer both durability and comfort for outdoor use.
