Next year, the company launches a footwear line aimed at the masses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The collection has four models, including men\u2019s and women\u2019s shoes made not for trails or mountain peaks but for casual use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Dubbed a \u201cperformance lifestyle\u201d design, some of the shoes target people in search of easy-to-wear footwear for everyday life. They borrow an aesthetic seen in Black Diamond\u2019s technical climbing shoes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">One example, the Circuit shoe, has a collapsible heel for easy slip-on and a knit upper for breathability. Sticky rubber on the sole gives grip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Two other models, the Technician and Mission LT, are built for hiking and approaching mountain peaks on steep trails and talus. They incorporate a sticky rubber with tread, and a tighter fit for edging on stone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The shoes will be sold at outdoor shops and online. Price tags range from $100 to $135.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Watch for the new line early next year. It\u2019s another example of fashion and form colliding to offer products that deliver mountaineering-influenced design to the mainstream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Shirttail\"><em>Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at <a href=\"https:\/\/gearjunkie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"www.gearjunkie.com (opens in a new tab)\">http:\/\/www.gearjunkie.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/magazines\/aspen-times-weekly\/black-diamond-to-launch-everyday-footwear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Diamond is a top gear brand known for its climbing equipment and core outdoors products.
