Montreal-based skate label Dime works in collaboration with Merrell 1TRL on its own iteration of the Moab sneaker model for the season. The shoes are made from soft suede materials throughout the upper and highlight functionality in mind as it is a trail sneaker at the core.
The technical sneakers come in a purple and white collaborative and the upper is made from mesh as well to add some breathable elements for the wearer. Additional details include the branding that can be seen on the side of the upper in a minimal design language with its tonal look. It all sits on top of a chunky Vibram sole unit foundation to round it all out.
