ALTRA's all-new running trail shoe. The Mont Blanc.  Experience off-road speed!

[February 2022 Hong Kong]

ALTRA Running are pleased to announce the launch of the Mont Blanc, a revolutionary, top spec, lightweight trail racing shoe.

Trail and Ultra Running has become an undeniable trend in recent years. The places where runners want to show their speed are no longer limited to flat roads. Rugged mountain trails have also become a racing stage for runners.

In response to this trend and runners' desire for speed, ALTRA have developed the Mont Blanc, a brand-new trail racing shoe. The functional design is based on the brand's concept of the“Fastest Known Trail (FKT) running shoe". The exceptional performance of the mid sole, its light weight, and the combination with Vibram Litebase Megagrip are this shoe’s greatest features.

The midsole is made of ALTRAs most advanced EGO™ MAX foam to ensure lightness, durability, and resilience comparable to road racing shoes.  

The outsole has Vibram’s lightweight version of Megagrip,  Litebase combined with a multi-directional lug design, which means this outsole can handle slippery and rough terrain in wet conditions with ease.

The upper is made of an ultra-lightweight and breathable material, which reduces the weight significantly while maintaining protection and comfort.

ALTRA originated in Utah, USA. All ALTRA trail running shoes were traditionally named after the mountains in Utah. Now 10 years later, it finally broke this tradition and picked the iconic Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak.  Mont Blanc of course is also synonymous with the world-renowned Ultrarunning event "Ultra Trail de Mont Blanc" (UTMB).

The ALTRA Mont Blanc gives Trail and Ultra runners the to conquer mountains around the world, and promotes ALTRA as a truly international brand.

Altra's name comes from the ancient Latin "ALTERA" which means "change" and "repair". The brand has been established for ten years and has now emerged and a force in running. The product design revolves around the three core technologies, namely the "zero drop" or Balanced Cushioning™️, which encourages runners to adopt a natural running posture and reduces the chance of injury.

Coupled with the brand's trademark FOOTSHAPE™️ the toe design is made according to the shape of the human foot, providing sufficient shoe space to allow the toes to stretch naturally, improving balance and comfort; and a special women's exclusive Fit4Her™️ shoe last with 4 unique design characteristics that better represent Female runners’ feet.
