Launched in 2020 as a premium sub-label of the Michigan-based heritage outdoor brand Merrell (founded in 1981), Merrell 1TRL was created to celebrate the company's archives while appealing to a new, trend-conscious audience. The brand operates at the intersection of outdoor performance and contemporary streetwear, offering footwear that challenges traditional perceptions of trail aesthetics. Core product lines include the cult-favorite Hydro Moc, the Moab 2 Decon, and the Jungle Moc, all defined by topographic textures, muted earthy palettes, and futuristic details.
