We Got A Sneak Peak From Vasque Of What's To Come In 2024

May 06, 2024 in Uncategorized

We got a sneak peak of what's to come in the new year for Vasque and you should be excited! Vasque, the renowned footwear brand, has revealed two iconic must-haves that promise to revolutionize outdoor experiences. Although we haven't had the chance to test them out, we've gathered exclusive insights into what makes these shoes the talk of the town.

Vasque Re:connect NOW | MSRP: $130

The Re:connect collection is grounded in the belief that transformative experiences don't necessarily require far-flung adventures. Instead, by stepping outside, one can change their internal perspective. The HERE (released FW23) and NOW (new for spring '24) designs are touted as Vasque's most versatile yet, featuring sustainable materials that prioritize comfort. NOW, designed for stability, boasts a wider heel and forefoot, along with an internal fit sleeve for midfoot support.

This shoe is not limited to the trails; its road-to-trail design ensures it's perfect for urban trekking or an impromptu post-work hike. The aggressive Xlite outsole lugs offer enhanced micro multi-directional traction, seamlessly transitioning from road to trail. With lightweight, breathable ripstop outer mesh and plush foams, the Re:connect NOW promises the ultimate "cush" experience. Innovative design elements, such as an internal half bootie construction and extended heel fit collar system, redefine expectations for how a shoe should fit.

Vasque ST. ELIAS | MSRP: $230

The St. Elias, a performance boot with over a decade of trailblazing experience, is set to undergo a transformation in 2024. Boasting inspiration from its Vasque predecessors, this boot incorporates modern technologies for enhanced comfort, traction, and support. Retailing at $230, the St. Elias is a versatile choice for both seasoned trailblazers and novice hikers.

Comfort is paramount with the St. Elias, delivering an out-of-the-box experience. The full-grain leather ensures an easier break-in period, while the midsole and outsole systems provide athletic flexibility and foot comfort for trips long and short. The dual-density midsole, featuring an EVA support rim, provides stability, complemented by high-energy return EVA pods for targeted cushioning.

Ultimate grip and traction are guaranteed with the Vibram® Megagrip compound and a Vasque-exclusive multi-directional + lug system. Sustainability takes center stage with premium materials composed of recycled content.

Come January, expect to spot these groundbreaking designs adorning the feet of outdoor enthusiasts, promising a blend of style, comfort, and performance that Vasque is renowned for.
