ROA x Colin Meredith Cingino Quick Details Materials: Vibram XS TRECK outsole with rubber toe cap, polyamide & polyester upper Functionality: Water repellent exterior with internal waterproof lining Price: $300
Though ROA now boasts an impressive catalog of technical bags and durable outdoor oriented apparel, the Italian label remains, at its core, a designer of technically proficient footwear. While many labels it is compared to are relatively new to the intersection of fashion and outdoor function, ROA has played in the space since it launched in 2015. It comes then as no surprise to learn the company is the latest to collaborate with Vancouver-based designer Colin Meredith, who launched his eponymous Colin Meredith Studio after stints working with Noah, Arc'teryx, and Rapha and has since executed successful collaborative design projects with brands like Hoka and Ciele.
Though the new ROA x Colin Meredith collaboration includes just one product—a new colorway for the existing ROA Cingino model lightweight hiker—the approach shoe styling and earthy tones have our full attention. The limited-edition Colin Meredith iteration is done up in a handsome dark gray with contrast zig-zag stitching, and burnt orange hits on the insole, heel pull tab, and replacement laces.
The Cingino is ROA's low-profile hybrid hiking sneaker, made with a microfiber upper that repels water, an internal mesh lining with a waterproof membrane to ensure your feet stay dry in a range of consitions. A Vibram outsole employs an XS Treck tooth tread pattern sole for traction on muddy trails.
