Back in Merrell’s archive lives a silhouette that captured the spirit of the mid-2000s. First introduced in 2008 when performance and style were beginning to intersect — Relay was built for movement, versatility and everyday strides. Now, Relay returns to revive what it started almost 20 years ago. 

Blending archival design with fresh specs, Relay re-introduces a collection of sportstyle shoes updated with the brand’s heritage comfort and go-anywhere grip. The Relay series is defined by the strong M insignia rubber sidewall running over the lateral side — an iconic Merrell design language many have missed. 

As low-profile sneakers continue to dominate the streets, Relay offers a fresh take on a familiar form. Clean lines, lightweight construction and thoughtfully engineered details keep comfort at the forefront, while Merrell’s signature quirk lives on in every stitch. 

“At its core, Relay reflects what Merrell has always done best: creating shoes that support how you move through the world.”

Where Relay truly shines isn’t just in its special edition finishes or archival status — it’s in its adaptability. The refined shape moves easily through the many corners of urban life, from city walks to dance floors to spontaneous plans you didn’t see coming. 

At its core, Relay reflects what Merrell has always done best: creating shoes that support how you move through the world. The archive may have inspired it, but you decide where they go next.
