The Brand
Inspired by the famous Hollywood cat P22, the eponymous brand brings sustainability to the trail running mix. As the animal P22 was the ultimate hiker - walking up and down the Santa Monica Mountains for 10 years – the inspiration could not have been better. Whether you are beastin’ it out on the trails or taking them out for a casual walk – P22 never fails to deliver in terms of uncompromising comfort and sustainability.
Why P22?
Current trail running shoes contain too much plastic. We want to bring sustainability to trail running. As one of the sports that relies most on nature, why pollute the world we run on?
The product.

The stacked outsole provides height and protection from uneven terrain whilst the recycled engineered mesh upper is provides maximum breathability.
