Merrell launches a new footwear silhouette to join its 1TRL division with the latest Hydro Runner model. It is a hybrid design that blends together elements of a clog and a sneaker together for a unique look for the season. The design focuses closely on movement from every angle as it is made using the brand's signature EVA materials over the upper and adorned with oval perforations rounded out by the heel strap.
The base is a breathable mesh sock construction in order to provide some breathability to the shoe. It also has nylon pull tabs at the tongue and heel to add some easy access. The midsole is made from 100% recycled EVA for a sustainable mindset and rests on top of sticky traction outsoles.
