Arc’teryx has introduced four new technical footwear models designed for mountain trails: Norvan LD 4, Vertex Speed, Konseal, and Norvan Nivalis. Each silhouette enhances performance with advanced materials and construction.
Performance-Driven Designs
The Norvan LD 4, launching in March, evolves from the LD 3 with a low-profile design. It features an abrasion-resistant Matryx® upper, a 45C dual-density midsole, and a Vibram® Megagrip outsole for stability and responsiveness.
The Vertex Speed, available in April, blends elements of trail running and mountain climbing shoes. Its zoned outsole adapts to various terrains, while a shock-absorbing midsole, stretchy knit gaiter, and laminated TPU reinforcements provide comfort and durability. Mid and low versions will be offered.
Designed for extreme conditions, the Konseal supports heavy loads on rugged terrain. It features an improved heel hold for comfort and blister prevention. Releasing in July, it will come in nubuck leather and GORE-TEX options.
For winter adventures, the Norvan Nivalis offers weatherproof protection with an over-ankle gaiter and GORE-TEX invisible fit. Launching in September, it ensures traction on snow and mud, with compatibility for winter running spikes.
Release Information
The new Arc’teryx footwear lineup will be available at Arc’teryx stores and select retailers worldwide. Stay tuned for launch details as each model arrives throughout the year.
