Merrell announces FW26 collections and new footwear releases

Merrell has announced its Fall/Winter 2026 collections, featuring new releases for both its standard Japanese-planned models and its premium 1TRL line.

The Cham Redux Storm GTX JP, a modern reconstruction of the 2000s Chameleon model, is expanding its lineup with three new neutral colors: Grey, White, and Navy. These models feature GORE-TEX membranes for waterproof breathability and FloatMax foam for enhanced cushioning and grip. These new colors are scheduled for release starting August 21, 2026.

Simultaneously, the Merrell 1TRL premium line is launching the ‘Coastal Currents’ collection, inspired by coastal ecosystems. The collection includes several key models: the MTL SpeedARC Peak and MTL ADAPT RPT trail running shoes, the Relay Web low-profile model, and the Moab 2 Slide LTR Woven, which utilizes a woven leather upper. Additional releases, including the Jungle Trek Mule RPT and Moab 2 Remix RPT, are expected in October 2026. The 1TRL collection aims to blend technical outdoor functionality with urban lifestyle aesthetics.
