The trail is both a path and an opportunity, carved through any landscape by the desire for exploration—the quest for freedom in the great outdoors. Moncler’s Trailgrip, a design-forward reinterpretation of the technical trail-running shoe, takes inspiration in moving through terra-incognita: the rhythm of steps on dirt, the footprint left behind for others to follow. In this original video directed by Zexi Qi, Koreatown Run Club brings the Trailgrip to the canyons, rivers, and fields outside of Los Angeles, finding possibility in unaltered ground.
