It’s a known fact that many footwear brands are reaching into their archives for their newer designs. Whether re-releasing a defunct design or remixing a vintage silhouette, many brands have found that many are feeling nostalgic with their footwear. Following this trend, Merrell is looking back at one of their archival lineups to bring back some of their retro icons. Remade for the contemporary user, the newest release is versatile, all-terrain, and modern. With three new colorways to match, the latest lineup from Merrell infuses the latest performance and comfort technology with the look and feel of some of their vintage cult-favorites. In time for the SS25 season, these new sneakers are as flexible as their namesake would describe. 

Merrell 1TRL’s Cham Redux lineup

Inspired by Merrell’s archival Chameleon collection, the brand has introduced three new remixes that bring this cult favorite into the modern era. Composed of a suede and mesh upper, this all-rounder sneaker comes equipped with a molded TPU heel and toggle lace closure. To update the sneaker for a new generation, the sneaker features a FloatMax foam midsole for added cushion and comfort. Also included is the brand’s Cleansport NXT treatment, which helps provide natural odor control. A rubber outsole completes the design with extra traction and stability. Available now via Merrell’s webstore, the sneakers retail for $185. For this redesign, the brand has introduced the sneaker in three colorways: Black/Graphite, Cement, and Drab. These Merrell designs are a remixed version of a cult-favorite, perfect for practicality and style.

Singer Jack Harlow may be dominating the stage as of late, but he’s also ready to take on the design world. Along with New Balance, the singer is heading into a new journey that has taken him to create a new indoor soccer-inspired sneaker. In recent seasons, the indoor soccer shoe has become the base of many new releases, with brands like Adidas and Nike taking to their archives for inspiration from some of their iconic soccer sneakers. Along with the trend, this latest sneaker takes inspiration from Harlow’s time as a high school soccer player in his native Louisville, Kentucky. While the only confirmation of the trend comes from Harlow’s social media, there’s no doubt that its release will make major waves among fans and beyond.

While May was all about New Balance’s ‘Grey Days’ celebration, June is shaping into a more eccentric and colorful month. Last month, the athletic company celebrated its traditional hue with a month-long celebration of pop-ups, new releases, and one-of-a-kind surprises. However, New Balance has announced its latest release to start a new chapter, which is the complete opposite of their last celebration. Aptly named ‘Cyber Jade,’ the newest shoe is an eccentric color combination that ditches the subtle grey for brilliant, bright, and bold hues. Taking on one of the brand’s most iconic and traditional silhouettes, New Balance quickly ditches the classic grey, showcasing a firm grasp of all the colors, and isn’t afraid to use them.
