A household name for outdoor footwear, Merrell knows how to combine performance needs into one practical shoe. However, for their latest release, Merrell isn’t just creating an outdoor shoe; it’s remixing one of their most recognizable silhouettes into a vintage charmer. Along with YMC, the duo is taking on the current slip-on trend with plenty of style. Remixed with a textured upper, the newest slipper is the perfect everyday option with the proper support and versatility to style almost any outfit. The new design is for the Spring/Summer 2025 season and can function as an outdoor shoe or indoor slipper. Influenced by workwear and military uniforms, this slipper isn’t your typical slip-on

Available in two rich colorways, the newest Moab Slide 2 blends Merrell’s performance support with YMC’s stylish details. Composed of a suede leather upper, this slip-on slide has a texturized material that looks like a classic ’90s-era slipper. Featuring a leather footbed, the Moab Slide 2 comes equipped with Merrell Air Cushion technology in the heel, which absorbs shock and adds stability. A protective rand adds durability, while a Vibram Ecostep Recycle outsole provides better grip on dry and wet surfaces. Finishing the technical aspect of the design are 100 percent recycled breathable mesh lining and molded nylon arch shank. The Merrell Moab Slide 2 is available in a dark grey and blue colorway via the Merrell and YMC web stores for $199.

PF Flyers Home and Away jacket

P.F. Flyers is a brand that sparks nostalgia in every corner of its catalogue. From footwear that recalls the mid-century athletes to shoes many of us saw for the first time on the feet of Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez in The Sandlot. Of course, since those landed in our cultural lexicon thirty years ago, the brand has continued to corner the market in nostalgia. They are looking to do it again with their new collection, which pays homage to the mid-1900s sports apparel. The P.F. Flyers Home and Away collection reimagines the iconic Center shoe, with nods to vintage, home-and-away varsity jerseys, as well as a vintage-inspired apparel collection.

However, in light of the singer’s highly anticipated music festival performance, the duo is once again releasing a select number of the shoes for those who previously missed out.
