An Elite Trail Shoe with Unmatched Cushioning
Experience the high-performance of the Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx, designed to elevate your trail runs to the next level. Making up the midsole is lightweight FloatPro™ foam, helping absorb the impact from each step, granting plush cushioning with high energy return.
To help you tear through any trail you come across, the MTL Adapt Matryx incorporates a premium Vibram MegaGrip outsole. This high-performing outsole offers unparalleled traction and grip on a variety of surfaces, wet or dry.
An upper Matryx construction blends Kevlar and high‑tenacity polyamide to make a single‑layer fabric that resists abrasion while maintaining optimal breathability. 3D-printed and TPU overlays appear on high-wear areas around the upper to increase overall durability and provide structure. The upper also houses an elastic lacekeeper with laces made from 100% recycled materials.
