What the and Wander design changes—and what it doesn’t
The collaboration with and wander adds two bold colors and a tree-bark-inspired print. Underneath, the Lone Peak 9+ platform remains: a Vibram Megagrip outsole, revised midsole foam, and a ripstop upper with no-sew overlays. The design shift is visual, not a reinvention of the trail performance.

The revised midsole foam aims for a comfortable connection to the ground—meaning you’ll feel the trail without harshness. That combination suits hikers and runners who prioritize sure footing and a natural ride over maximum cushioning.
