Merrell has partnered with Melbourne label Perks and Mini (P.A.M.) on a new footwear collaboration, reimagining two of the outdoor brand’s signature silhouettes through the lens of nature and performance.
The collection introduces the Cham Storm GTX, a modern take on the Chameleon featuring GORE-TEX waterproofing, reptile-inspired textured mesh, a quick-lace system and FloatMax™ cushioning, alongside the Hydro Next Gen Moc, an updated version of the Hydro Moc with a sculptural EVA upper, speckled detailing and enhanced underfoot comfort.
Inspired by the idea of moving seamlessly between urban and outdoor environments, the collaboration is accompanied by a surreal campaign directed by Milan-based collective NO TEXT AZIENDA, with special effects body paint by Tokyo artist The Amazing Jiro.
To mark the launch, Merrell and P.A.M. will host a series of in-store events featuring DJ sets in Sydney, Seoul, Tokyo, Chengdu, London and New York, celebrating the collaboration through music, art and community.
