With spring in full swing it’s time to ditch those burly hiking boots and swap in some trail sneakers. The low-profile, comfortable shoes are ideal for taking on the mountains or the city streets. And Velasca has released perhaps our new favorite pair of trail shoes. The Monviso Urban Trail Sneakers were designed in partnership with Italian design house Pininfarina and made in Montenegro, Italy. The Monviso sneakers feature a waterproof membrane, durable Vibram rubber sole, and a soft suede calfskin upper. The sole, which is made from 30% recycled rubber, provides excellent traction and shock absorption while staying lightweight. The Monviso is available for $400 in grey, beige, black, and blue color options.
