King MT 2

TrailReleased 2024-08-02US

King MT 2 is a low-stack, zero-drop technical trail racer built for ground feel and quick footwork. The unchanged reissue pairs Altra EGO with deep Vibram Litebase/Megagrip lugs for grip without adding bulk. StoneGuard protects underfoot, while drainage tooling and breathable mesh suit wet terrain. A midfoot strap, GaiterTrap, and Standard FootShape Fit hold the foot over rocks and mud without crowding the toes.
