The Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 is here, the second version of one of the most acclaimed racing shoes by trail runners. Designed for long distances, they have been optimized for lightweight trail runners looking to move at fast paces on the most technical trails. This new update brings with it important changes compared to the previous model that we will analyze in the next lines.
The Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 is a low-profile trail running shoe designed to compete over long distances. As we saw in the original version, this second update includes the most advanced technologies developed in the Merrell Test Lab. Undoubtedly, one of the best models for lightweight runners looking to move at racing speeds in the roughest terrain.
Merrells MTL Long Sky 2 burst onto the scene, the second interaction of one of the most acclaimed models by the most competitive trail runners. Designed for long distances, they bring with them important new features compared to the original version that affect each and every one of the key sections of the silhouette. Without further ado, let's analyze the main features of this new model starting, of course, with its midsole.
Unlike the Merrell MTL Long Sky, this latest interaction includes the FloatPro compound; a more reactive, lighter and softer foam, the result? Greater shock absorption during running and faster landings and take-offs. Substantial change in the height of the drop from 8mm to 4mm; now a more "pro" option for those who want to enjoy the game well glued to the ground.
The upper has also undergone significant changes. It is here where the product designers have opted for a more updated aesthetic with a color combination that is sure to leave no one indifferent. A redesign of the silhouette combines a very light and breathable engineered mesh, along with reinforcements for greater protection against different obstacles.
The outsole continues to use the Vibram Megagrip compound but, this time, it has increased its durability to increase its adaptability to the terrain. The lugs have a height of 5mm and offer a superior running experience on both greasy and rough terrain.
The Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 is a safe bet for lightweight trail runners eager to devour long distances on the most technical terrain. More than noticeable changes in this second update with a new midsole and a reconfiguration of the drop of this silhouette which is now 4mm. Intended to complete the most demanding training and / or competitions, with a weight of 260 grams and an RRP of 130 € will undoubtedly become one of the best trail running shoes of this 2022.
