Merrell and YMC's Second Act Is All in the Texture

Merrell and YMC are back together for a second release, and this time the story is in the surface, not the shape. The Moab 2 Slide keeps its familiar, easy-wear form, but arrives in a shaggier, longer-piled suede than the pair's first outing together. There's no redesign to speak of — just a furrier finish and a fresh run of colors on a silhouette both labels already trust. It's the kind of restrained follow-up a second collaboration is supposed to be: prove the idea once, then refine the texture.
