When it comes to outdoor shoes, Merrell is the first name that comes to mind.
This year is the 40th anniversary year since its birth, and the brand's icons will be updated one after another, the first of which is the sustainable model "JUNGLE MOC ECO" of the "JUNGLE MOC".
The "Jungle Moc Eco" is a sustainable footwear that utilizes eco-friendly materials, as the name suggests, while maintaining the comfort of the "Jungle Moc.
The hemp upper is made of naturally derived hemp, and even the stretch gores on both sides and heel pull tabs are made of recycled materials. In addition, rice husks, which are surplus biomass and are attracting attention as they are reused and recycled in various fields, are blended into the EVA midsole and rubber outsole, respectively, to achieve effective use of natural waste materials without compromising conventional performance characteristics.
¥11,000+TAX SIZE：22.5~28.0, 29.0, 30.0cm
How to deal with the keywords "eco" and "sustainable" will be required of companies that make manufacturing their living in the future.
I would say that Merell's approach is extremely sincere and smart.
