The MTL Skyfire 2 is the lightest and fastest elite trail running shoe Merrell has ever made, coming in at under 7oz. Featuring a BZM plate to support agility, speed, and provide underfoot protection, this is a first-of-its-kind shoe in the trail running market. The BZM plate sits between two layers of FloatPro Foam™, our most responsive midsole foam for underfoot comfort while the engineered mesh and TPU upper breathes to keep your feet cool. Underfoot, we crafted a custom Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole that minimizes weight while maximizing traction. The MTL Skyfire 2 was built for our elite athletes to blaze up mountain trails. Now it’s your turn.

These shoes are built from the Merrell Test Lab, our elite product advancement incubator. All MTL shoes are rigorously tested and validated by Merrell athletes and meet our highest bar for elite performance capabilities.
