EDITORIAL | Belstaff Merrell 1TRL by eye_C
Following on from previous exchanges, namely on the Ontario Speed Trainer, Merrell 1TRL and Belstaff reunite to create the Moab Luxe Hiker, an elevated take on a trail-inspired icon.
Built for the city and trail, the Moab Luxe Hiker builds upon the legacy of Merrell’s Moab silhouette, here given the Belstaff treatment with monochromatic materials like suede and full-grain leather that compromise neither function nor aesthetics. Across the upper, you can find a combination of textures, with suede and leather overlays side by side, with a mesh under-layer providing breathability. Sitting atop a Vibram TC5+ outsole developed exclusively for Merrell 1TRL and its pursuits, ensuring unparalleled traction on a variety of terrains, from asphalt to rugged trails. The Moab Luxe Hiker arrives in two colours: Black and Cream.
