Previewed exclusively during Paris Fashion Week, the STAPLE x Brooks Trail Collection presents a focused narrative built around trail running, movement, and continuity. The collaboration brings together STAPLE and Brooks through two silhouettes that trace the brand’s trail lineage while pointing toward its current direction. The collection centers on the Cascadia 1 and the Ghost Trail, unveiled as an early preview during Fashion Week before a wider release later in February.

The collaboration treats the trail as both setting and idea, positioning it as a space shaped by time, terrain, and progression. The collection draws from the past, present, and future of Brooks’ trail footwear, using design language and material choices to connect these phases into a single release.
Both silhouettes debuted during Paris Fashion Week at an event hosted at Huddle Coffee, where the shoes appeared as a first look ahead of their global launch. The preview placed the footwear in a casual, social environment, reinforcing the idea of trail culture as something lived and shared.
The STAPLE x Brooks Trail Collection includes two models presented in coordinated colorways of tan, brown, and crimson red. These tones reference the natural palette of trail terrain, grounding the collection in earth-based hues associated with hiking and outdoor movement.
The Cascadia 1 represents Brooks’ first trail shoe and anchors the collection’s historical reference point. In this collaboration, the model appears in the darker of the two colorways. Light brown mesh forms the base of the upper, supported by dark brown suede panels that add structure and weight. Crosshatched tan leather appears on the toe and along the lower sides, reinforcing durability through texture and layering.
The Ghost Trail reflects Brooks’ current approach to trail performance. The shoe features a one-piece mesh upper in tan, creating a streamlined surface that contrasts with the layered construction of the Cascadia 1. A thick cushioned midsole sits beneath the upper, split between grey and light brown tones that emphasize volume and support.
The STAPLE x Brooks Trail Collection launched through a Paris Fashion Week exclusive drop on January 23, 2026. A global release follows in February, extending access beyond the Fashion Week context.
