Huckberry has a well-earned reputation for curating and collaborating on gear that genuinely performs, blending rugged capability with timeless style. They know quality when they see it, and when it comes to hiking footwear, Danner is a name that needs no introduction, boasting a legendary heritage of crafting boots and shoes built for the trail. So, when these two join forces once again, the result is always something worth paying attention to. Their latest partnership focuses on a trusted trail favourite, resulting in the Huckberry x Danner N45 Low Hiking Sneaker – an exclusive take on a formidable piece of footwear.  

For this collaboration, they’ve chosen the N45 Low Hiker silhouette, a model that Huckberry describes as one of the lightest and toughest performance hiking sneakers they’ve ever tested. This provides the perfect foundation for an exclusive edition. The most immediately apparent feature is the exclusive Coyote colourway, only available at Huckberry, giving this version a distinctive look that stands out from the standard offerings.  

Performance on the trail is paramount, and the N45 Low is packed with cutting-edge materials and technologies. The upper is constructed from Perspair®, a quick-drying, lightweight, and highly abrasion-resistant fabric designed to maximise airflow and withstand the rigours of varied terrain. Underfoot, the midsole features nitrogen-infused EnduroFoam, specifically engineered to boost energy return and reduce fatigue, ensuring you stay comfortable and energised over long distances. An EnduroFoam insole further enhances this high-energy return and reduces fatigue. For protection against rocky or uneven ground, a TPU rock plate is integrated, adding essential stability and underfoot safeguarding.  

Traction is handled by a Vibram® N45 Outsole, featuring their renowned Megagrip compound and Traction Lug technology – designed to help you confidently “stick any landing” and provide reliable grip on wet or dry surfaces. Comfort isn’t overlooked, with an OrthoLite® open-cell footbed offering superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture control to keep your feet dry and comfortable. A flexible Ariaprene® gusset wraps the foot for a comfortable, snug fit, helping to keep debris out. Furthermore, the liner is made from recycled polyester, adding a layer of sustainability.  

Perhaps one of the most impressive features, speaking to Danner’s commitment to longevity, is that the soles are constructed to be recraftable. This means these hikers aren’t built for planned obsolescence; they’re designed to be resoled and continue performing for years to come. Offering this blend of high-performance materials, cutting-edge technology, superb comfort, essential protection, an exclusive colourway, and the impressive recraftable sole at a price point of $200, the Huckberry x Danner N45 Low Hiking Sneaker is the ideal footwear for serious trail exploration and everyday adventure.
