Progressive Spring-Ready Trail Footwear

Merrell 1TRL Introduces a Look at its SS24 Collevtion

— March 2, 2024 — Fashion
Merrell 1TRL introduces a look at its newest collection designed specifically for the Spring/Summer 2024 season. It is full of elevated updates on its traditional silhouettes including the Jungle Mocs, the Moab Speed silhouette, and the Hydro Mocs to name a few.

The seasonal designs start off with the Merrell Jungle Moc, which has a classic silhouette reminiscent of previous versions. The shoe is detailed with a woven upper to provide texture and give it a brand-new look. The Moab Speed sneaker has a street-centric approach starting with the durable GORE-TEX along the upper to withstand various terrains. It also rests on a Vibram outsole with branding decorating the shoe throughout. The Moab 2 Mesa has a refined silhouette, and the Speed Streak boasts a slip-on accessibility.
