To celebrate their 40th birthday, footwear brand Merrell has taken a heaping of funfetti to bring some festive style to two of their most popular shoe and boot models. The Birthday Pack Collection, as it were, commemorates the major milestone with limited-release colorways of both the Moab 2 Mid Waterproof boot and Jungle Moc, with a limited run Whisper Rain Jacket and fun pair of Birthday Crew Socks rounding out the capsule.
In the past four decades Merrell has steadily remained a trusted outfitter, with utilitarian hikers leading the charge. More recently though, the brand has gained increased exposure from the gorpcore fashion movement, adding streetwear aficionados to their existing core customer base of hikers and weekend-mode-dads thanks to models like the foam Hydro Moc. While we're a bit sad to see the trendy recovery shoe omitted from this collection, it stays true to the brand's roots, a move we wouldn't dare knock.
