Merrell Introduces New Canvas Shoes Inspired by Climbing Shoe Design

Merrell, the American outdoor brand beloved in 160 countries, is releasing the "BETA FLASH LOW VENT" and "BETA FLASH MID VENT" lifestyle shoes in early March. These new models draw inspiration from the design of the "FLASH DANCE" climbing shoe, first launched in 1988.

A New Staple for the Leisure Season, Igniting the Playful Spirit of the Modern Man

Emerging from the "Active Lifestyle" category are new models that blend the casual, understated design inspired by Merrell's "FLASH DANCE" climbing shoe—a hit since its 1988 debut for its unique design and comfortable fit—with Merrell's signature functionality.

The uppers are crafted from canvas fabric in subdued colorways that easily complement various outfits.

Original details are also carried over, including the protective rubber toe cap inspired by the distinctive toe of a climbing shoe, the sole shape that extends from the side to the heel, and a subtle logo accent.

Furthermore, the shoes feature shock-absorbing footbeds and lightweight PU midsoles and outsoles, supporting comfortable wear and agile movement.

The "BETA FLASH" is an ideal choice not only for city wear but also for the feet of outdoor enthusiasts enjoying camping and glamping.
