The newest entry in the Margaret Howell × Mizuno collaboration arrives as a Light Grey version of the V2 GORE-TEX hiking shoe. Marketed as a blend of clean, modern aesthetics and all-weather functionality, the shoe is now available through Margaret Howell’s retail channels.
Design and Materials
The silhouette retains the minimalist profile that has defined the partnership’s previous releases, but the Light Grey colourway adds a subtle, sophisticated tone that can transition from urban settings to trail environments. The upper is constructed from GORE-TEX fabric, a material known for its waterproof capabilities while still allowing moisture and heat to escape, ensuring comfort during extended wear in variable weather.
Performance Features
Mizuno’s proprietary "Double Grip" outsole technology underpins the shoe’s traction strategy. The outsole is engineered to provide reliable grip on wet or uneven surfaces, aiming to reduce the risk of slips when navigating both city streets and rugged trails. This combination of waterproof protection and enhanced traction positions the shoe as a versatile option for consumers seeking a single model that can handle both everyday wear and outdoor activities.
Pricing and Availability The Light Grey V2
GORE-TEX hiking shoe is priced at ¥33,000, which translates to roughly $207 USD. It is listed as "Available Now" and can be purchased directly from Margaret Howell’s retail outlets. No SKU number has been disclosed at this time.
Context Within the Collaboration
The release continues the ongoing collaboration between British designer Margaret Howell and Japanese sportswear brand Mizuno. The partnership has consistently focused on merging Howell’s clean design language with Mizuno’s technical expertise, delivering footwear that balances style and performance. The Light Grey iteration is positioned as a fall 2026 offering, expanding the colour palette of the V2 GORE-TX line while maintaining the core functional attributes that have defined the model.
Overall, the Light Grey V2 GORE-TEX hiking shoe aims to appeal to consumers who value minimalist design without compromising on weather resistance and traction. Its availability through Margaret Howell’s channels provides a direct route for fans of the collaboration to acquire the latest version of this technically focused silhouette.
