MTL Skyfire
The original MTL Skyfire was co-developed with Merrell's trail athletes for short races where a light, secure shoe matters. An internal bootie holds the foot, while a mesh upper with TPU reinforcement adds durability. Its EVA midsole contains a rock plate for protection over stones and roots, and the proprietary Quantum Grip outsole targets traction and wear resistance on rough trails.
