Snow Peak and Merrell Unveil Third Collaboration

Snow Peak, the Japanese outdoor lifestyle brand known for its refined, high-quality gear, and Merrell, global leader in the outdoor footwear category, announce the launch of their third collaborative footwear release: the Merrell SpeedARC Matis GORE‑TEX® SP, available April 27, 2026.

Designed to seamlessly transition from rugged outdoor environments to everyday urban settings, this limited‑edition release reflects both brands’ shared commitment to uncompromising craftsmanship, technical innovation, and a deep respect for nature.

Snow Peak and Merrell first partnered in April 2025 to create products that inspire more people to experience the outdoors. A second collaboration followed in July 2025 to widespread acclaim. This third chapter builds on that momentum, delivering a next‑generation hiking shoe that balances high performance with refined, versatile design.

The Merrell SpeedARC Matis GORE‑TEX® SP integrates Merrell’s revolutionary SpeedARC midsole system that combines dual FloatPro™️ foam layers with a nylon FlexPlate™️, delivering unrivalled comfort and unstoppable energy return. Complete with a Vibram®️ Megagrip outsole for ultimate traction and GORE‑TEX® waterproofing technology, the shoe embodies what both brands describe as “the future of outdoor footwear.”

The exclusive Snow Peak colorway draws inspiration from the organic and inorganic elements found in the field, such as tree bark, soil, and stones. The insole features asymmetrical coloring, evoking the deep green of the forest and the sunset at dusk, expressing harmony with nature. Furthermore, the brand logo is placed on the shoe tongue and the inner rear, and reflective elements are incorporated into the speed laces and heel strap, resulting in a pair of shoes that enhances both functionality and visibility.

This product will be available at Merrell.com and Snowpeak.com and select Snow Peak retail locations starting on April 27, priced at $238. The Merrell SpeedARC Matis GORE‑TEX® SP is ideal for hiking and camping, yet equally suited for daily life in the city. Through this continued partnership, Snow Peak and Merrell aim to deliver richer outdoor experiences and encourage more people to take their first step into nature.
