Merrell's Latest Innovation: The PROMORPH Running Shoes

On August 29, 2025, the renowned American outdoor brand Merrell will debut its newest multi-functional outdoor running shoe, the PROMORPH. As part of their “ROAD to TRAIL” concept, these shoes promise to enhance the running experience whether you're navigating through city streets or tackling rugged trails.

All-in-One Solution for Running

Traditional running shoes have struggled to meet the varying demands of both road and trail conditions. Road running shoes often lack the grip and support needed for uneven terrains, whereas trail shoes can wear down quickly on paved surfaces due to their deep lugs. The PROMORPH aims to bridge this gap, offering a balanced solution without the downsides traditionally associated with either type of shoe.

The design features a Synthetic Multi-Layered Mesh Upper that enhances breathability while ensuring a snug fit. To support stability, an additional fit panel is incorporated, providing increased comfort and security during runs.

Superior Cushioning Technology

At the heart of the PROMORPH is the FLOATPRO+™ foam. This innovative material, a hallmark of Merrell's flagship trail running models, offers exceptional cushioning and lightweight performance. The updated midsole ensures a responsive transition during landing and take-off, coupled with enhanced overall stability.

Additionally, the outsole features the latest Vibram XS TREK EVO technology from Italy, known for its high-performance grip and durability, supporting impressive traction on both trails and roads. The custom lug pattern, designed for road running, further enhances versatility, making the PROMORPH suitable for various outdoor adventures.
