American rapper Tobe Nwigwe has teamed up with luxury fashion brand Moncler to launch a new sneaker called the Trailgrip Momint. This is his first sneaker collaboration and part of Moncler's Trailgrip family, made especially for outdoor adventures.
The Trailgrip Momint is inspired by the colors of Tobe's 2022 album "moMINTs." It comes in a soft mint green color and uses a mix of leather, suede, and nubuck materials. The shoe also features "Chukwu" stitching — a tribute to Tobe’s heritage and name — and includes GORE-TEX, Ortholite insoles, and Vibram Megagrip outsoles for comfort and durability in outdoor settings.
For the launch, Tobe brought his whole family into the spotlight. In the campaign, they are shown in the forest, all wearing matching Moncler outfits, riding in a vintage Mercedes-Benz. The campaign highlights the values of family, creativity, and purpose.
The sneaker will be released on May 31 in limited quantities via Moncler’s website.
In a short interview, Tobe shared how this project means a lot to him. His first memory of Moncler goes back to seeing his uncle wear one of their puffer jackets. Collaborating with the brand now feels like a full-circle moment. He said the idea for the sneaker came naturally because Moncler supported both his vision and family from the start.
The message behind the Trailgrip Momint is about exploration, purpose, and growth — not just on hiking trails, but in life. Through this sneaker, Tobe wants to remind people to keep moving forward, chasing their dreams, and staying true to themselves.
