Merrell has pretty much been everywhere and achieved everything. They’re kind of like a several-time Olympic gold medallist in the footwear world, they’re ubiquitous and favoured by balding hillwalkers and inner-city fashion fellows alike. If you go looking into your family tree, it won’t take long for you to unearth someone with an unhealthy Moab obsession.
Despite having been everywhere and achieved everything, Merrell show no signs of slowing down, especially in regards to their contemporary 1TRL range, which has just unveiled its offerings for SS25.
The latest Merrell 1TRL drop shows the brand reaching into its extensive archives to reimagine a selection of the iconic models the brand has produced in the process of achieving all those gold medals, the most accredited of which being the Merrell Chameleon…
For SS25, Merrell 1TRL have reimagined the cult silhouette for the contemporary wearer. The name of the new model is the Cham Redux, and it’s sort of as if the Chameleon had spent the last few months in Paris – it’s a bit edgier, a bit meaner, and dare we say, a bit more exciting.
The Cham Redux is available in three colourways – Black Graphite, Cement, and Drab (a sort of beige)
Accompanying the Cham Redux is the fan favourite Moab Speed 2 GTX BL 1TRL, a model purpose-built for testing terrain. The GORE-TEX membrane ensures full moisture protection and the signature FloatPro midsole means you’re not going to face dive into any puddles either.
If you thought the only archive goodness in this drop was the Cham Redux, you’d be sorely mistaken, as Merrell 1TRL have also reintroduced the Jungle Moc Vent and Moc Speed Streak back into the limelight, both in a variety of typically choice Merrell colourways.
We’re historically excited when Merrell’s name pokes its head through our inbox and this glorious archive-influenced SS25 drop has proven to be no anomaly.
The Merrell SS25 collection will be available to purchase soon from the official webstore and select stockists.
