Get ready to hit the trails in style with the latest collaboration from American rapper Tobe Nwigwe and luxury brand Moncler. The new Trailgrip Momint silhouette is a must-have for any fashion-forward outdoor enthusiast.
Inspired by the color palette of Nwigwe’s upcoming 2022 album, moMINTs, the Trailgrip Momint is a fresh addition to Moncler’s Trailgrip family. The utilitarian footwear model is a reflection of Nwigwe’s fashion vision, featuring a mix of leather, suede, and nubuck in mint hues. The tonal “Chukwu” stitching pays homage to the artist’s name, while GORE-TEX accents, Ortholite insoles, and Vibram Megagrip outsoles provide durability and protection for all your outdoor adventures.
But this collaboration is more than just a stylish shoe. Nwigwe brings his family together for an interactive campaign, showcasing the limited-edition collaboration alongside his wife and four children. The family is seen exploring the forest in head-to-toe Moncler outfits, riding in a vintage Mercedes-Benz in coordinating colors.
The Trailgrip Momint, designed by Tobe Nwigwe, will be released in limited quantities on May 31st through Moncler. We had the chance to speak with the artist about his connection with the brand and his inspiration behind the collaboration. Read on for the full interview.
