In a refreshing pivot from performance-driven hype, côte&ciel and Merrell 1TRL join forces to unveil the Hut Moc 2—a footwear concept that values stillness over speed, and exploration over endurance.
Driven by a shared vision to challenge conventional design norms, the collaboration embraces fluidity, where technical utility meets artistic construction. Instead of pushing wearers to move faster or farther, the Hut Moc 2 encourages a more intentional pace, framing walking as a meditative and creative act. It’s a shoe made not just for trails, but for thoughtful wandering.
Offered in Black and Khaki, the silhouette balances form and function with a sculptural design that feels futuristic and grounded at once. A neoprene sock insert ensures a secure, adaptive fit, while the signature Hut Moc 2 sole delivers lightweight comfort and versatile grip—from studio floors to uneven city terrain.
Positioned as a performance sneaker for the introspective, the Hut Moc 2 invites wearers to tune in rather than tune out—to walk, pause, and observe with intention.
The shoe releases in two waves: Friday, June 27 via côte&ciel’s webstore and retail locations, followed by a wider drop on Monday, June 30 through Merrell 1TRL and select global stockists.
