Why We Love This Deal
The Merrell Chameleon shoe’s fan base is unusually loyal, with diehards constantly posting online about going through their many different pairs over the last decade. Recently, the shoe received an update under Merrell’s 1TRL design-forward sublabel, which reworks archival styles for city wear. Now a few months out from its release, it’s on sale as part of the brand’s mid-season sale for over $100 off.
The $190 Merrell 1TRL Cham Redux RMTs are discounted down to $123, but if you use code EXTRA40, it brings the price down to $74. Both the Comet and Casper colorways are on sale for the same price. The shoes are also available in the Sieve variant for $62 if you want something more sandal-adjacent.
Merrell 1TRL Cham Redux RMT, From $74 (was $190) at Merrell
What Shoppers Should Know
- Upper: Suede leather and mesh
- Midsole: FloatMax foam, removable EVA footbed
- Outsole: Rubber
- Closure: Slip-on with stretch collar and heel pull tab
- Best For: City walking, commuting, travel, mixed surfaces
Even though these could likely handle light trails (without any rain), they’re best used as all-terrain walking shoes for sidewalks, groomed park trails, and travel days. The slip-on construction gives them the same convenient on-and-off that made the Stretch Chams so popular. The FloatMax midsole is made for smooth rides even after hours on hard pavement. That suede-and-mesh upper also breathes better than a full-leather shoe and gives them a retro look.
The Chameleon lineup has amassed a cult following among Merrell fans, getting posted and discussed on Reddit as some of the most indestructible shoes. The Redux keeps the shape and slip-on ease, but replaces the mainline’s Vibram outsole with standard rubber, making them more city-friendly. The retro look is another reason people love the style so much.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Since these Chams dropped earlier this year, reviews are still coming in, so they’re on the lighter side. One of those who did leave feedback said, “The best Merrell shoes available. Very firm and great fit. True to size.”
A second reviewer wrote, “Just picked these up and love them. Feel roomier than the Chameleon 8s. Probably my favorite pair of Chameleons since the Stretch 4.” They added, “Love the subtle digital camo pattern included.”
Merrell’s 1TRL Cham Redux RMTs are available now for $74. Since these Merrell deals tend to sell out quickly, you should pick up a pair soon while the stock is still looking good.
