Merrell 1TRL Introduces its New Capsule for the SS25 Season

— March 23, 2025 — Fashion
Merrell 1TRL introduces a look at its newest designs for the Spring/Summer 2025 season with performance at the forefront. The seasonal capsule shines a spotlight on the new Cham Redux silhouette, celebrating the iconic Merrell Chameleon. The Cham Redux reimagines the Chameleon collection in a modern approach by balancing innovation and tradition together seamlessly.

Regarding performance, the Moab Speed 2 GTX BL 1TRL grabs attention. It is built to withstand even the most challenging terrains. The GORE-TEX membrane ensures that wearers remain mobile and creates seamless breathability. It rests on top of the FloatPro midsole to create a lightweight and stable feel, rounded out by the Vibram TC5+ outsole at the base for an enhanced treading grip. The rest of the collection follows the same notion, delivering impressive technical components and elevated styling with a key focus on material application.
