Available for purchase starting July 1, 2025, the shoe is priced at $150 and will be accessible through Merrell.com and selected retailers. This launch marks a significant addition to Merrell's performance running portfolio.
Building on Merrell's expertise, the ProMorph integrates features of both road and trail shoes. It incorporates FloatPro+ foam for lightweight rebound and FLEXconnect® dual-directional flex grooves for enhanced stability. Additionally, the Vibram® XS Trek Evo outsole provides a versatile grip on varying surfaces, enabling the ProMorph to adapt seamlessly from asphalt to mountain trails. Designed with a 32.5mm heel stack height and a 6mm drop, the shoe promises high-cushion performance without compromising control.
The ProMorph's capabilities were showcased at the 2025 Southbound 400 race, where the Merrell-sponsored team "Loose Footage" achieved third place. This 400-mile, unsanctioned relay race stretches from the Canadian border to Manhattan, emphasizing the shoe's durability and performance.

The ProMorph is a testament to the brand's commitment to evolving in the running space, offering a hybrid design with advanced foam and traction technologies.
