# Dynamic Sleek Technical Footwear Merrell Introduces the Jungle Moc Evo Vent 1TRL Model By Amy Duong | Published 2025-05-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jungle-moc-evo-vent-1trl References: [merrell](http://merrell.com/)  [Merrell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jungle-moc) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ymc-x-merrell-moab-slide-2) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-1trl-aw25) for traction and grip on tough surfaces. The new colorways include “Black/Graphite,” earth-tone “Drab” and ” Pigeon” off-white.
