New Collaborative Footwear: côte&ciel x Merrell 1TRL Hut Moc 2
In an exciting announcement for outdoor enthusiasts and fashion lovers alike, the renowned American outdoor brand MERRELL has teamed up with Paris-based premium accessories brand côte&ciel. This collaboration marks the launch of their first-ever joint product, the
côte&ciel x Merrell 1TRL Hut Moc 2, which is set to redefine the boundaries of functional footwear. The Hut Moc 2 will make its debut in select stores on
June 27, 2025, with general sales commencing on
June 30, 2025.
Concept Behind the Collaboration
The project theme, “
Movement in Shape / Shape in Movement,” draws inspiration from the cloud formations surrounding Mount Fuji, serving as a metaphor for the designs that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. Under the creative direction of
Emily Arnaud, the partnership delves into the dynamic interplay between innovative soles and the sculptural potentials of fabrics and structures. This collaboration aims to inspire new fluidity in footwear design, stepping away from conventional expectations and emphasizing a quieter, more expressive nature.
The key visuals for the Hut Moc 2 take place within an architectural context where visuals and nature coexist harmoniously, showcasing the attributes of both brands while also symbolizing a quest for creativity. Unlike typical designs that cater to the need for speed and distance, this shoe invites wearers to engage in a journey of self-expression, redefining the performance silhouette for creative wanderers. By embracing a slower pace, the Hut Moc encourages deeper thought and artistic awareness, a quiet conversation that the shoe has with its wearer.
Unique Design Features
The Hut Moc 2 features an upper crafted from two twisted fabric panels that wrap around the foot in a spiral, creating a flowing, sculptured form. This innovative structure allows for a harmonious coexistence of motion and beauty in design. Available in two colorways—
Khaki/Black and
Black/Black, the shoes come equipped with neoprene sock inserts, ensuring a snug fit, while their signature outsole provides grip and durability across various terrains, whether on mountain trails, city asphalt, or in the tranquility of one’s home.
The lightweight construction paired with a fluid visual appeal evokes a feeling of weightlessness, making the Hut Moc an ideal choice for diverse environments and lifestyles. Adding to its versatility, the shoe is designed for unisex wear, accommodating sizes from
24.0 to 30.0 cm and retailing at
19,800 yen (tax included).
