Merrell introduces a look at the Jungle Moc Evo Vent 1TRL model, which is the latest of the silhouette. The model retains the overall shape of the previous design and the slip-on design has been reimagined with a new material construction. At the upper, it is made mostly of suede with an integration of mesh cut-outs.
This allows the construction to be both durable and breathable in a seamless way. The technical details are the removable ECA foam footbed which is crafted from 50% recycled content. It has cushioning and support -- it is finished with the brand's sticky rubber outsole unit for traction and grip on tough surfaces. The new colorways include “Black/Graphite,” earth-tone “Drab” and ” Pigeon” off-white.
