MERRELL
Merrell is about making the outdoors more accessible and attainable to all. While at Wolverine I worked on some of the most successful Merrell kids franchises. I also had the opportunity to collaborate with the Women’s team on the expansion of Women’s casuals.

The outsole features multi-directional grooves for ultimate flexibility and a barefoot feel. This collection features unlined soft uppers for comfort and are made using recycled materials.
