Sustainability Meets Style: Eco-Conscious Construction
One of the defining features of this collaboration is its dedication to sustainability. The Moc Speed Streak Evo 1TRL, also called the “The Moc-Laughlin,“ boasts an eco-conscious construction utilizing recycled materials at its core. From the recycled cow suede, plant-based components, and mesh upper to the 100% recycled heel pull tab webbing and breathable mesh lining, each element underscores a commitment to reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality or style.
Innovative Comfort and Performance
Beyond its eco-friendly composition, the shoe excels in providing comfort and performance. A neoprene stretch collar ensures ease of wear, while the protective rubber toe cap and moulded nylon arch shank guarantee durability and support. The integration of Merrell Air Cushion in the heel offers superior shock absorption and stability, crucial for various activities.
Aesthetic Appeal: The Signature McLaughlin Touch
Nicole McLaughlin’s signature style leaves an indelible mark on the design. The colorways—OG Black/Amber, Birch/Hiviz, and Coyote/Olive—reflect her distinct creative flair, offering options that resonate with diverse tastes while embodying a contemporary aesthetic.
Traction Redefined: Unparalleled Performance
The outsole stands out as a testament to both innovation and sustainability. Crafted from Merrell’s 10% recycled sticky rubber outsole compound, it delivers exceptional traction, especially in challenging winter conditions. The lightweight EVA foam midsole with 20% recycled EVA flecks ensures stability and comfort throughout wear.
Availability and Impact
The Moc Speed Streak Evo 1TRL X Nicole McLaughlin is a limited-edition release, available at Merrell’s website, select retailers and Dover Street Market.
