Although it’s rare to find Altra partnering with other brands, their latest collaboration with ROA seems to have been worth the wait. Along with the Italian brand ROA, Altra is releasing a new co-designed trail shoe full of all the technical features you need for outdoor activities. Because Altra doesn’t participate in many collaborations, there was no doubt this sneaker would impress. Made to blend with nature, the new sneaker is about functional footwear that can comfortably take you anywhere. Available in an Earth-toned color combination with hues such as dark brown, black, olive green, and muted yellow, this shoe is ideal for outdoorsmen looking for a go-to sneaker to reach for time after time.

Crafted using waterproof, windproof, and breathable GORE-TEX uppers to protect the foot, the Timp 5 GTX sneakers utilize some of the latest footwear technology that helps improve performance. Using the Vibram Megagrip outsole, the sneaker comes equipped with maximum traction in any terrain or environment. The inside of the shoe comes ready with Altra’s EGO MAX midsole foam, which adds cushioning for durability and extra bounce in each step. As a bonus, the Timp 5 GTX sneaker includes a roomier toe box and zero-drop platform for even more toe support. This new trail sneaker is available now via Altra’s web store at $195. Although plenty of trail sneakers on the market offer diverse features and designs, the Timp 5 GTX is a true outdoor shoe made for durability and comfort. Since Altra is not known for being a frequent collaborator, their partnership with ROA is a unique opportunity to include a unique shoe into your lineup.

atmos, New Balance goes aquatic in new sneaker collaboration

If New Balance has mastered one thing in the last couple of seasons, it’s the art of thematic collaborations. Recent collaborations from the brand have seen the athletic company push the limits on design and details to fit perfectly with their project. In their newest collaboration, New Balance and atmos have taken the nautical theme and created a practical and chic sneaker that will dazzle year-round. Taking in details and nods from the deep sea, the new collaboration between the two brands is ideal for those looking for a special sneaker that doesn’t feel gimmicky. In an easy-to-style colorway and with all of New Balance’s known technical features, there’s no reason why this sneaker won’t be on top of your wish list. 
atmos x New Balance 1906D

Taking on New Balance’s 1906 sneaker, both brands have given the techy shoe an oceanic upgrade. Crafted using a deep blue colorway with mesh and suede overlays, it’s clear to see the inspiration behind the design. The use of mixed materials gives the illusion of the various finds you would see in the depths of the ocean. The rugged texture and chunkiness of the design give way to a practical sneaker that can easily find a place in your closet. While it’s obvious that both brands found inspiration for the sneaker under the ocean, its silhouette and color scheme still make it appealing for everyday wear. Fans of the sneaker will first be able to get their hands on the oceanic design via a raffle hosted on atmos’ web store on December 13th. Afterward, a global launch will take place on December 21 online and in-store.
