Moncler Unveils the Trailgrip Momint: A Bold, Soulful Step Forward with Tobe Nwigwe
In a meeting of lyrical prowess and sartorial precision, Moncler debuts the Trailgrip Momint, a limited-edition sneaker designed in collaboration with global brand ambassador Tobe Nwigwe, the boundary-breaking artist known for his compelling voice, unorthodox flow, and seismic style.
Infused with Nwigwe’s signature aesthetic and spirit, the Trailgrip Momint is more than footwear, it’s a creative statement. Drenched in the pastel mint hue that has become synonymous with the rapper-singer’s visual identity, the sneaker echoes the emotional tones of his Grammy-nominated album MoMINTs
Constructed with Moncler’s uncompromising craftsmanship, the Trailgrip Momint is a study of texture and utility. A carefully curated fusion of smooth suede, nubuck, and textured panels gives the sneaker a tactile depth. Embroidered with the word “Chukwu*, a spiritual and personal touch derived from Nwigwe’s full name, Tobechukwu, each pair becomes a wearable prayer, a cultural beacon, a love letter to heritage.
Yet beneath the artistry lies Moncler’s signature innovation. Designed for movement and made for impact, the sneaker boasts a Gore-Tex upper for all-weather protection, a carbon fiber footplate for high-performance support, Ortholite comfort foam and Vibram Megagrip soles, translating Nwigwe’s energy from the concert stage to the forest trail to the concrete runway of city life.
The campaign imagery is a celebration in motion. Shot in nature’s embrace, it features Tobe alongside his wife Fat and their children Chikodili, Chukwueze, Ivory, Jachike, and Sage, presenting not just a product, but a philosophy, where family, culture, creativity, and nature converge in unfiltered harmony. It’s a visual hymn to unity and authenticity.
Tobe’s creative alliance with Moncler is rooted in genuine synergy. Since first starring in the brand’s 70th-anniversary campaign in 2022, he has redefined what it means to collaborate by bringing vision, voice, and a sense of community to each project. His unforgettable live performance at the Moncler x Pharrell Williams launch in Milan last year marked a crescendo moment. Now, with the Trailgrip Momint, that collaboration matures into something tactile and timeless.
Available exclusively on http://moncler.com starting May 31, 2025, the Trailgrip Momint arrives not just as a product drop, but as a cultural moment, where fashion, performance, and personal truth collide in one soul-stirring step forward.
This isn’t just a sneaker.
It’s a *MoMINT*.
