REESE COOPER works in collaboration with Merrell 1TRL on a new set of footwear silhouettes made for the season. The wide range of sneakers includes the Hydro Runner, MTL MQM, and the MTL Long Sky 2 models. The signature silhouettes serve as the foundation for the latest project as it was much more lifestyle-focused before and now it breaches the realm of function.
All three of the silhouettes come in a two-piece selection of colorway palettes that offer a militaristic theme of browns and greens. Some of the standout details include the light tonal laces that are seen securing the shoe in place over the forefoot. This adds a pop of tonal contrast against the militaristic themes below.
