Although it isn’t common to see vehicle and shoe collaborations, the partnership between Merrell and Jeep has become all too familiar. After the success of their 2023 alliance on the Moab 3 hiking boot, it was only natural that they joined forces once again. Now both brands are celebrating the newest in hiking innovation and hybrid vehicles. In this collaboration, both brands bring their flair to the boot, making it even more of a unique option. Although Merrell’s Moab design inspires the silhouette, there’s plenty of Jeep’s touch in the boot to entice SUV lovers.

Available as a unisex shoe, the Merrell x Jeep Moab Speed 2 comes in multiple colorways, giving users the choice to pick the boldness of their footwear. BWearers will find colorways like High Velocity, Tuscadero Pink, Bright White, and Black, some of Jeep’s most emblematic colors. Besides offering their distinct colors, Jeep has also incorporated the electric blue trim used on the Jeep 4xe models, for a brighter pop of color. Using seatbelt-inspired webbing and an underlay, radiator grill-like mesh, this boot also comes with all the stability and security you would expect from Merrell and Jeep. Made with metallic uppers, the overall design is completed with bold and durable hardware.

Mixing the best of both brands, the Moab Speed 2 is another step forward for this unlikely collaboration. The newest boot will be available on November 12th and retail for $180.

Although Converse’s parent company, Nike, has recently seen a rise in remixes and rereleases, the sneaker line has tended to avoid the noise. Along with GOLF WANG, the label created by musician Tyler, the Creator, Converse is breaking out their archival designs for a new slip-on sneaker. While slip-on sneakers haven’t seen much trend due to the rise of slim lace-up sneakers, the collaboration between the two brands will turn some heads. While the partnership is a first between the two, the modern and stylish designs seem like a much longer collaboration created them. With the use of exciting colors and textures, these slip-on designs have the potential to rival your favorite casual sneakers. As Converse looks to expand its audience and renovate its look, this collaboration is a welcome sign for future designs that appeal to a new audience.

With shoes like loafers, dress shoes, and leather sneakers rising, it’s easy to give in to the leather footwear trend. Regardless of whether it’s patent or full-grain leather, this fabric is notorious for its sophisticated and stylish look. No matter the occasion, leather continues to be an easy way to add style to even the most casual looks. The rise of leather sneakers has also allowed many to upgrade their looks with a comfortable and practical shoe. While leather certainly has many benefits, it’s a material that requires some care to maintain its sleek look.

As with most leather goods, proper care allows you to extend the lifespan of your shoes throughout the years. While cleaning leather shoes isn’t drastically different than cleaning other materials, keeping in mind the characteristics of leather will help ensure you take the proper steps.
