Philadelphia, PA (APRIL 6, 2026) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FP Movement, Free People’s activewear brand, is proud to announce their first-ever collaboration with global outdoor footwear leader Merrell, uniting FP Movement’s expressive, fashion‑forward approach to movement with Merrell’s trusted outdoor performance and 45 years of heritage. Together, the brands introduce a footwear capsule designed for the modern outdoor: where style, comfort and everyday exploration meet.

“As FP Movement continues to expand our presence in the hiking and outdoor space, we’re thrilled to partner with an iconic performance brand like Merrell to reimagine their silhouettes through our lens,” says Courtney Weis, Managing Director of Brand Marketing at FP Movement.

Built on a shared belief that the outside should feel welcoming, empowering, and close to home, the partnership blends Merrell’s trail‑ready craftsmanship with FP Movement’s playful, feminine aesthetic. The result: a two‑style collaboration encouraging women to step outside, embrace micro‑breaks throughout their day, and experience the clarity, connection, and confidence that begin the moment you cross the doorframe.

“At Merrell, every product we build is designed to share the simple power of being outside. FP Movement brings that same energy to life through an expressive, joyful approach to movement that inspires confidence in every step. Our teams connected immediately around a shared belief that the outside should feel inviting and empowering for women,” said Merrell Global Chief Product Officer, Noreen Naroo‑Pucci. “Reimagining the Cham Redux Storm and Hut Moc 2 Packable together allowed us to blend Merrell’s performance DNA with FP Movement’s playful, feminine aesthetic, resulting in two functional, trail‑ready styles that will meet their community wherever their day leads.”

THE COLLECTION

A reimagined take on Merrell’s iconic Chameleon lineage, the Cham Redux Storm GORE-TEX® delivers city‑to‑trail versatility for women who want rugged capability with everyday comfort. The lightweight textile and TPU construction provides support and stability, while the toggle lace system offers easy adjustability. A GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane provides protection from the elements, while maintaining comfortable breathability. Soft florals and FP Movement’s signature buti add a unique design language to a performance platform known for trusted traction and long‑wear durability, making this a perfect companion for local hikes, park walks, and spontaneous everyday outside moments.

Designed for life on the move, the Hut Moc 2 Packable blends effortless comfort with thoughtful packability, connecting with a zip closure and attached carabiner for travel‑ready ease. Dual-stretch gore allows for slip‑on mobility, while a quilted pink exterior and floral interior lining deliver a soft, expressive aesthetic. Lightweight, versatile, and adaptable, it’s built for everything from morning micro‑breaks to weekend getaways.

The FP Movement x Merrell collaboration will be sold at FPMovement.com, Merrell.com, and select FP Movement store locations in the US starting 4/6.
