Outdoor footwear label Merrell taps talented photographer and visual artist Benji Reid to help shoot the brand new MQM Ace Suede sneaker model. The silhouette is set to join the brand's ongoing Fall/Winter 2020 offerings and the unique design is durable and stylish.
The "MQM" acronym specifically stands for "Move Quickly in the Mountains" and was originally debuted during the brand's FW20 lookbook released earlier in the year. The upper is made from a soft suede material and it sits on top of a Vibram Megagrip sole unit to offer durability. Additionally, the sole unit also features air cushioning, which adds some elements of comfort for wearers. The shoes come in minimal colorways to ensure that it can be styled with a variety of outfits during adventures.
