“I got my foot in the door of footwear retail working at the first Merrell brand flagship store in North America. I was already into sneakers, but working somewhere that focused on technical engineered products opened my world in terms of appreciating footwear for function and craftsmanship. It became a huge inspiration to how I approach designing Extra Butter products.

Merrell’s upcoming 1Six8 Collection, inspired by the 168 hours in a week, puts into perspective what missed opportunities there are to make the most out of your week. So we took some of our friends away for the weekend and into some of the 1Six8 footwear to find some adventure. Stay tuned to see what we got ourselves into last weekend…” @bamitsbernie
