Product Introduction: The popular classic model "Mootopia Lace" from Merrell has a Japan-exclusive version. The upper is made of nubuck leather, offering a different texture compared to the standard model. It comes in three autumn-inspired subdued colors. The outsole features a playful design with wave motifs and surfers, along with the character for "wave."
The gently rounded toe and color scheme are popular in this classic model. Merrell, which began with cowboy boots made in Utah in 1981, is recognized worldwide as "Outdoor Gear" that can adapt to any field, boasting products that balance function, performance, innovative style, and unique design at a high level. The concept Merrell pursues in its products is the practice of comfort and performance in two distinct fields: nature and the urban environment.
The Merrell Air Cushion midsole provides excellent shock absorption. Developed by Merrell, the air cushion midsole is designed to absorb strong impacts on the heel and maintain stable walking. When pressure is applied to the heel, the air cushion compresses, absorbing shocks that can be four times the body weight. It wraps the heel in a cup shape and is set centrally, demonstrating outstanding functionality that prevents fatigue during long walks. As it is not bag-shaped or capsule-shaped, there is no risk of bursting.
The upper material features excellent water resistance and quick-drying properties. It uses PITTARDS® WR100 material from the UK, which has special water-repellent processing applied to each fiber, designed to allow moisture to evaporate through tiny, invisible holes. It protects against rain, wind, and dust while allowing sweat from inside to escape, maintaining a comfortable state. It is also resistant to dirt and can maintain its texture through brushing or wiping with a cloth.
The insole, Celldia, provides antibacterial and deodorizing properties. Developed by Kuraray, this insole absorbs unpleasant odors and has antibacterial processing, ensuring a clean state for a long time. It also features soft cushioning that provides shock absorption during walking. To maintain its antibacterial and deodorizing properties, it is stored in bright places.
