Merrell 1TRL introduces a new construction approach to the notable Hydro Moc sandal silhouette in the new 'Too Good to Get Wet' pack of footwear. The new capsule offers four iterations of the silhouette: starting off with a lilac colorway, followed by a cream option, then a brighter mint colorway, and finally a peach color option.
Notably, all four designs are complete with a marbled design language that has been applied to reference the look and visible reflection of water. The shoes are made from a single-density injected mold unit and features perforated details that are functioning as drainage holes. It also features a strap and deep lugs at the outsole for functional and practical reasons.
