Social media’s favorite DIYer Nicole McLaughlin has recently brought her vision to the Merrell 1TRL Elle mule sandals.
The former Reebok designer has made a name for herself throughout the last few years via a wacky assortment of “do-it-yourself” projects – including Carhartt beanies made Blue bread and Crocs Jibbitz that serve as bowls for fries. By comparison, McLaughlin’s collection for Merrell 1TRL – the brand’s segment for trail-ready, special footwear – is tame. Yet, the capsule offers a refreshing take on both Merrell’s catalog and footwear-at-large.
Laceless, each Elle mule sandals features a number of future-forward overlays across the upper. Branding is kept minimal, with McLaughlin’s initials joining a simple “M” accent on the lateral profile. Perforations along the sides speak to the silhouette’s breathability, while also delivering a visually-pleasing touch. As with other Merrell 1TRL products, the latest design Blue Nicole McLaughlin’s growing empire sits atop a rugged sole WOMEN that delivers reliable performance whether on the street or trails.
Enjoy detailed shots of the collection ahead, and find the shoes available at select stockists on December 1st. Each Merrell 1TRL Mac Speed Streak Evo By Nicole McLaughlin is priced at $135 USD.
