CQP, a Stockholm-based sneaker brand, has recently released the VERTEX, a trail running shoe inspired by classic style, for their Spring/Summer 2023 collection. CQP is known for providing high-quality, creative footwear that is also environmentally friendly. The VERTEX model adheres to the brand’s spirit, with premium materials, superior workmanship, and technical design.
At first look, the VERTEX’s form and fabrication evoke the ’90s. The shoe’s body is made of water-repellent suede and strong mesh materials. The VERTEX also has a cushioned Vibram sole with a 360-degree rubber bumper, leather shank board, and arch support for a protective, lightweight, and gripping feel.
The VERTEX trail runner is available in four distinct colorways, each with its own distinct personality. The Sun shade is a warm ochre with a vibrant Electric Blue that emanates confidence. Conversely, the Taupe and Black hues are neutral and adaptable, seamlessly complementing various styles.

The VERTEX is available for $520 USD from CQP’s website and authorized merchants. Its trail running shoe demonstrates the brand’s commitment to developing ecological footwear that is both durable, inventive, and fashionable. The VERTEX is a great alternative for trail runners or those looking to up their sneaker game with a traditional, vintage-inspired shoe that is also technically sophisticated.
