MRket has also announced that MOVE will launch for the first time in Las Vegas to be held August 15-17.

For the second-edition of MOVE, sponsored by Equinox, look for an evolved vision of the partnership on the show floor with different activations throughout the section. Returning brands include Rhone and Mizzen+Main, while newcomer Vuori brings its West Coast high performance clothing to the section.
