Mushroom-Made All-Terrain Shoes
Parks Project and Merrell Release the Bio-Based Moab 3 Shoes
Kanesa David — May 23, 2024
Parks Project and Merrell are collaborating to release a new Moab 3 hiker made of HyphaLite, a bio-based mushroom material. The design of the Parks Project x Merrell Moab 3 pays tribute to the natural beauty of national parks, with an upper comprised of tan textiles, including a ripstop base and a sturdy canvas-like exoskeleton. Vibrant hi-vis accents in volt yellow, cool blue, blaze orange, and soft pink eyelets add a pop of color to the otherwise neutral silhouette.
Underfoot, the Moab 3 incorporates Merrell's signature Air Cushion midsoles and the durable Vibram TC5 outsole. Beyond footwear, the Parks Project x Merrell collection extends to a diverse range of apparel featuring plant-inspired graphic treatments. This includes long and short-sleeve tees, crewnecks, quarter-zip pullovers, joggers, and shorts, matching perfectly with the footwear section of the release.
