  • Merrell Doesn’t Care If You Stare At Their New Hydro Mocs

    Merrell, a brand best known for its outdoor collection of hiking boots and trail runners, continues to pique the interest of loyalists, streetwear enthusiasts, and sneakerheads alike by releasing three new colorways of their unique-looking water shoe, including a women’s style this time. Undoubtedly eye-catching and surprisingly functional, the Hydro moc has garnered significant buzz and more than a few rave reviews upon its introduction to the country last November of its Black and Navy styles.

    The “ugly” shoe now comes in new Spring-ready shades like Butternut and Black/Brindle for men and Burgundy for women. Made with a single piece of rubberized EVA foam, the Hydro Moc is an all-rounder that is just as suited for the beach and the camping trail as it is on city streets and even casual bike rides as it combines a sleek, ironic fashion with technical function.

    First released in North America, the Hydro Moc drew immediate attention from the media and the general public because of its unusual and unforgettable look. The shoe has since garnered scores of fans from Latin America, East Asia, Australia, and now the Philippines. Appealing both to streetwear aficionados and island lifers the world over, the Hydro Moc has often been worn with brightly colored socks or on their own for outdoor activities at the beach, camping, and biking.

    For a more easy-on, easy-off experience, the Hydro Slide provides the same kind of comfort but with more freedom on-foot, making it a perfect aftersport sandal. Last year saw the release of Black and White colorways of the slide. This year welcomes a women’s-only Burgundy colorway.

  • Sperry and John Legend Team Up to Design a New Capsule Collection

    Sperry and John Legend have partnered to design and introduce a new capsule collection of men’s footwear for Holiday 2021. Legend has served as Sperry’s Global Brand Ambassador since 2020. This will be the first time that Sperry and Legend will collaborate on product design. 

    The two styles, the Signature Boat Shoe and the Commodore Boot, are an evolution of the classic Sperry silhouette. Each is designed to complement and reflect John Legend’s personal style, featuring luxe suedes and leathers, soft lambskin linings, and Vibram soles. Design details inspired by John Legend such as a keyboard-print on the footbed, quotes by the musician printed on the inside of the tongue and subtle hand-stitched JL branding can be found throughout the collection.

    “It’s been such a pleasure working with Sperry over the past couple years,” Legend said of the collection. “I had been curating my favorite shoe styles from Sperry’s current assortment, and it’s so exciting to embark on this next chapter: designing my first capsule collection with Sperry. The styles are based on some of my favorite classic silhouettes from Sperry’s wonderful heritage, infused with my own personal style and sensibilities. They’re the kinds of shoes that will add a touch of freshness and sophistication to your look. I look forward to wearing these shoes myself, and I am so proud to present them to the world.”

    The Sperry x John Legend Signature Boat Shoe takes Sperry’s iconic Authentic Original to the next level. Part loafer, part boat shoe, this sleek deconstructed style comes in butter-soft suede and offers a pared-down aesthetic with no hardware or shoelace eyelets. Instead, laser cut details suggest the traditional 360 lacing which is a signature element of Sperry’s classic boat shoes. A fixed lace detail on the tongue allows for easy slip on and off.

    The Sperry x John Legend Commodore Boot plays off of Sperry’s best-selling chukka and raises the height to complement Mr. Legend’s weekend wear. This style is made with Sperry’s PLUSHWAVE technology, and the shoe is extremely light and extra comfortable. A clear outsole reveals a holiday-themed red and green tartan, inspired Legend’s holiday album and features the word “Legendary” in the pattern.

    The Sperry x John Legend Collection will be available on Sperry.com.ph on January 10 and select Sperry retail stores in TriNoMa, SM Megamall, and SM Mall of Asia on January 16.
