Today, Arc’teryx Equipment, the global design company specializing in technical high-performance outerwear and equipment, introduces four new footwear models to their line, Norvan LD 4, Vertex Speed, Konseal and Norvan Nivalis, delivering pinnacle performance for mountain terrain. The new footwear is announced alongside three exciting additions to their mountain run athlete roster on global and regional teams.
“Our expanded product line delivers a unique sharp point on performance in mountain terrain, true to our brand ethos and our athletes,” said Ovi Garcia, VP, Footwear. “The work our team has done on the product front is outstanding, and we feel confident in our mission to become the leader in pinnacle mountain footwear.”

Footwear at Arc’teryx is driven by their athletes who are defying limits in vertical mountain terrain. Like every product the brand develops, athlete testing and insights are integral to the development of footwear, their objectives push the brand forward to solve new problems in the mountains. As part of their investment in the category, Arc’teryx is proud to welcome three new athletes to their roster: Jazmine Lowther (Global), Edoardo Rossano (EMEA) and Jessie McAuley (NA).
JAZMINE LOWTHER
MOUNTAIN RUNGLOBAL ATHLETE
Jazmine’s path to trail running is far from ordinary. With a multi-sport background, she’s carved her own trail over mountains, and a deep love for the freedom running provides. She’s made her way to the top in the trail running world in just a short period.
EDOARDO ROSSANO
MOUNTAIN RUNEMEA ATHLETE
Born between the border of the Venetian Lagoon, the Dolomites, and the Julian Alps, Edoardo developed a deep love for the outdoors at a young age. Sport has always been a part of his life, from orienteering and open sea swimming to ski touring and running. But it was running—running any distance and all types of terrain—that he fell in love with.
JESSIE MCAULEY
MOUNTAIN RUN NORTH AMERICA ATHLETE
Jessie grew up training in Squamish, BC, where the weather shifts from torrential rain to fluctuating freezing levels. Embracing the ever-changing conditions of the mountains in the Pacific Northwest, he views the unpredictable nature and harsh terrain as a fresh challenge. Adaptability in the mountains is key to Jessie’s success.
