Altra and Soar Set a New Benchmark in Trail Collection

Soar, one of the pioneers in high-performance apparel, and Altra have joined forces to set a high bar for new product collections in trail racing. By uniting SOAR’s precision-built apparel with Altra’s trail-tested footwear, the collection delivers a complete racing system engineered for speed, protection, comfort and control.

The Altra x Soar capsule collection has been designed as a cohesive system to perform in unison on race day, in heat, over long-distance, and across rugged terrain. Here are the details:

• Altra X Soar Mont Blanc Carbon Trail Shoes

Central to the collection, these trail shoes are equipped with a full-length carbon plate designed for propulsion. Coupled with dual-density midsoles for optimal comfort and responsiveness, and a Vibram outsole for grip, these shoes are designed for tackling ultra-distance races and challenging terrains. The distinctive Prism colorway featuring both SOAR and Altra logos highlights the unique partnership.

• Altra X Soar Trail Race Top

Featherlight and pack-compliant, this tee is engineered for heat and intensity. A multi-fabric construction combines UPF 50 protection on the shoulders and upper arms with abrasion-resistant panels and ultra-light mesh across the torso — creating a garment that cools actively while protecting precisely.

• Altra X Soar Trail Race Shorts

A stripped-back half tight built around Rheon — a reactive superpolymer developed from NASA technology. It adapts to the impact of running, stiffening under force to absorb energy, then relaxing for freedom of movement. With a waistband-free construction and integrated storage throughout, these shorts are made for technical terrain, long days, and elite-level performance.

Every element in the collection was tested by athletes and refined through real-world racing — at pace, under pressure, and at elevation. Together, they form a complete race-day system — balancing propulsion, protection and packability. Built through adaptive smart materials, meticulous design and groundbreaking construction and finished in a distinctive Altra x Soar Prism colorway.

“At Altra, we’ve always thrived on challenging the status quo for the sake of uncompromised running performance, and we’ve found a kindred spirit in Soar,” says Altra president Jen McLaren. “This collection is the result of two innovative brands breaking convention together to support trail runners with gear that’s as thoughtful and intentional as the athletes who wear it.”

“It has been a pleasure to work with Altra on this trail race capsule. They brought their shoe A Game with the Mont Blanc Carbon, while we developed a brand new and unique trail race system. This combination of shoe and apparel offers trail runners an ultra-high-performance solution to their race day kit needs.” adds Tim Soar, founder and CEO of Soar Running.
