Moncler's new outdoor DNA footwear

The new Fall/Winter 2023 Footwear collection, which reflects Moncler's outdoor DNA, features refined design, premium materials, and state-of-the-art techniques that reaffirm the brand's utilitarian luxury vision. For the new season, Moncler reaffirms its distinctive identity in footwear by combining luxury and functionality in a sporty yet sophisticated offering, suitable for both outdoor activities and city life. Moncler's shoes are characterized by high technicality, comfort, and versatility, in line with the needs of an increasingly dynamic lifestyle. The outdoor spirit inspires the codes and performance of the collection, envisioning its use on various terrains, from high-altitude trails to sports tracks and urban settings. Key models will also be reimagined in new Moncler Genius co-creations throughout the year. The collection introduces new partners and collaborations that explore technology, design, and contemporary aesthetics. The collaboration with Zellerfeld is based on an innovative 3D printing design process that has the potential to revolutionize and redefine sneaker production techniques. The reinterpretation of Salehe Bembury's Trailgrip has been an immediate success, thanks to the designer's unique approach inspired by nature and the outdoors. Combining technicality and streetwear style, the Trailgrip Après has been reimagined by Pharrell Williams' Billionaire Boys Club for its 20th anniversary.

Among the standout models is the winter version of the Trailgrip GTX, made with GORE-TEX, which evolves further in new vibrant shades: pink and forest green, cobalt blue, deep khaki, and beige. Featuring a maxi rubber sole and a curved rubber toe, the design ensures maximum durability and protection on high-altitude trails and in the city. The Trailgrip Teddy joins the lineup, presenting a variant with sherpa details, combining mountain spirit with the soft teddy effect while maintaining its technical features of resistance and breathability, carbon fiber insole, and Vibram sole. A brand-new addition is the Trailgrip Knit, featuring the first knitted upper, synthesizing hiking skills and urban codes: the breathable perforated knit upper is supported by a thermoplastic spoiler, microfiber lining, and Ortholite® insole. The 3D printing design process, previewed in July, born from the collaboration between Moncler and Zellerfeld, gives life to the revolutionary 3D printed model created by Zellerfeld. The Trailgrip 3D prototype comes in a slip-on, seamless, and monomaterial thermoplastic design. The 3D printed model is recognizable by the distinctive curved toe of the Trailgrip and is currently in development for a future market launch, hinting at a new production perspective, allowing for a finished product without any factory processing.

Salehe Bembury, a footwear design maverick, brings his unique and personal perspective to the Trailgrip, drawing inspiration from the common appreciation for the outdoors. Reinterpreted for the new generation of explorers and nature enthusiasts, Salehe Bembury's Trailgrip "Grain" model features the designer's distinctive quilted pattern in earthy green, orange, and pastel gray tones. Moncler's desire to create items suitable for both mountain life and the city is also reflected in the Peka Trek boot, which combines all the distinctive features of a trekking shoe - Vibram sole, waterproof membrane, micro-rubber midsole - with fabrics and colors that make it perfect for rainy days in the city. The boot is embellished in black leather or brown suede versions, ideal for any occasion. October will also see the launch of a new model signed Moncler x Palm Angels. Among the brand's distinctive silhouettes, the Gaia boot features an automatic closure pocket and the classic boudin quilting reminiscent of the iconic Maya puffer jacket. The Gaia Pocket is perfect for après-ski with its waterproof membrane and soft insulating feather padding. For Fall/Winter 2023, Moncler presents the Gaia Pocket High, a new knee-high version with crisscrossing straps that create a bold new silhouette.
