Inov8 TrailFly Zero V2 improves upon the original with refined fit, better design execution, and reliable performance across varied trail conditions.
The first pair hardly lasted a season; after several backpacking missions on soggy trails, the mesh on the uppers was practically shredded, and the outsoles had started to separate from the rest of the shoe. After that, I bought the cult-classic Merrell Moab hiking shoes. I spent the remainder of the decade testing the popular style on all kinds of terrain, from the dunes of Death Valley to the perpetually muddy trails of the Canadian Rockies.
Salomon continues to blur the line between performance gear and street-ready fashion with its latest release: the XT-6 and XT-WHISPER Iridescent Pack. This collection pushes past the typical seasonal drop, showing how functional footwear can flex just as much cultural clout as any collab. The stars here are the bold Black/Hollyhock/Plum Perfect colorways, which balance a dark, technical foundation with iridescent hits that demand attention under city lights or trail sun.
