Merrell's classic is cooler the more you wear it. In our first collaboration, Kirkis' idea took shape.

MERRELL offers a wide range of products, from performance and barefoot-style shoes to lifestyle footwear, and *Khakis* has put its own spin on one of the brand’s iconic hiking shoes.

The "Moab 3 x Khakis," born from our first collaboration, offers a vintage-inspired perspective.

Shoes ¥20,900

This design combines different materials—such as nubuck, polyester mesh, and rubber—in the upper, and features a waxed finish and stone-washed treatment to create a naturally worn, vintage look.

I really love the worn-in look that’s so characteristic of the “Moab 3”—it works perfectly in any setting. In fact, many editors who shoot both in the city and outdoors are big fans of this shoe. The more you wear it, the more its appearance changes. It really makes you imagine what it will look like down the road.

That said, the "Moab" series really is a masterpiece. I think this is exactly what makes a pair of shoes so charming. They go on sale Saturday, April 18.
