Merrell Alpine 83 Recraft Sneaker - Men's

Alpine 83 Recraft Sneaker updates vintage design with eco-conscious modern comfort

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This sneaker is all about retro looks with modern comfort. I’ve worn it walking around town and on quick weekend getaways. It feels super light, stretches just right with the neoprene collar, and the recycled materials give it that feel-good factor."

Built for movement, designed with a nod to the past, the Alpine 83 Recraft Sneaker brings together classic styling and sustainable construction. We wear it for everything from bike commutes to laid-back urban missions, and it delivers comfort, versatility, and heritage-inspired detail at every step.

The combination of suede leather and 100% recycled textile makes the upper feel both durable and airy. A neoprene stretch collar makes slipping in and out a breeze, while the lightweight EVA midsole provides the soft underfoot cushion we crave for long days on the go. Finished with a molded TPU heel counter and rubber midsole, this is the kind of sneaker that feels as good as it looks.

4 out of 5 stars

September 5, 2025

Perfect - with socks :)

So far these shoes are great. Lightweight, good looking (I got the light camel color), very comfortable. Why not 5 stars? My only minor issue is the back of the shoe rubs on my tendon a little, but ONLY when wearing no-show socks. Who in their right mind goes hiking in no-show socks? Good point. Any reasonable sock does just fine. Great on lose gravel - good traction.
