Denver, Colo. (August 2, 2024) – Altra, a leading innovator in performance running, is thrilled to announce the revival of the King MT 2. This re-launch of the King MT trail shoe is a testament to Altra’s commitment to meeting the demands of its dedicated community of runners. Originally introduced in 2017, Altra’s King MT quickly became a fan-favorite, designed for trail enthusiasts who love to conquer challenging terrain. Due to overwhelming consumer demand, Altra has responded by bringing back an updated version with enhanced features designed to elevate the trail running experience.
“Whether bagging a peak or doing OCRs, ‘the King’ is back, baby! Named after the highest peak in Utah, the King MT 2 is my favorite off-trail trail-shoe,” said Brian Beckstead, Altra Co-Founder. “It’s safe to say that the King MT 2 is one of our most requested shoes to relaunch of all time. We’ve received messages weekly asking to bring it back. With the deepest and most aggressive lugs in the Altra trail line, it’s perfect for mud, scree, and scrambling but still smooth enough for normal trail.”
The King MT 2 is the perfect blend of comfort, durability and style, making them a must-have for any trail runner. The Altra King MT features a roomy toe box that allows your toes to relax and spread out naturally for more comfort and stability in uphill climbs and downhill descents. Features of the King MT 2 include:
- Vibram Litebase – reduces outsole weight without compromising durability
- Vibram Megagrip – provides unparalleled grip on both wet and dry surfaces
- Mesh upper with dynamically cut eye for flexibility and comfort
- Tooling drainage system for messy conditions
- Altra’s standard FootShape fit
The King MT 2 is available for both men and women in a variety of colorways.
