Outdoor footwear brand Merrell has unveiled a collection of hiking shoes inspired by the hit TV series "House of the Dragon". The collaboration features three unisex styles - the Moab 3, Agility Peak 5, and Moab Speed 2 - each representing a different house from the show's fictional world of Westeros.
The Moab 3 "Velaryon" model channels the seafaring house with a blue colorway reminiscent of ocean waves, while the Agility Peak 5 "Targaryen" edition sports fiery red accents nodding to the dragon-riding family. For House Hightower fans, the Moab Speed 2 incorporates lighthouse-inspired glow-in-the-dark details. Priced between $140-$170, the collection allows fans to represent their favorite faction while tackling real-world adventures. By fusing pop culture with performance footwear, Merrell taps into the growing trend of themed collaborations that appeal to both outdoor enthusiasts and TV fandoms.
