Merrell CHAM REDUX GHOST METRO

A Cham Redux With More Volume Underfoot

The Merrell CHAM REDUX GHOST METRO gives the outdoor-rooted silhouette an all-black city treatment. Its upper mixes synthetic material and TPU, with three-dimensional printed overlays adding structure and abrasion resistance. The broad FloatMax foam midsole creates a smooth, heavily cushioned profile that looks substantial from every angle.

Stealth Color Lets the Shape Speak

Black covers the upper, sole, laces, and reinforcing pieces, removing bright trail accents from the equation. That single-color finish draws attention to the shoe's layered construction and oversized cushioning instead. It also makes the model easier to move between technical clothing and ordinary city outfits.

Outdoor Heritage Without a Trail Costume

The Ghost Metro belongs to Merrell's Metro Collection, which adapts performance footwear for everyday urban wear. Its durable overlays and cushioned base keep a functional connection to the brand, but the smoother styling avoids looking like a hiking shoe brought directly off the mountain. The result feels deliberately metropolitan rather than merely recolored.

The Softer Half of a Blacked-Out Pair

Compared with the MOAB SPEED 2K METRO launching beside it, the Cham emphasizes a sculpted upper and the softer, more voluminous feel of FloatMax. That gives two visually related shoes clearly different rides and shapes. The CHAM REDUX GHOST METRO costs about $140 and releases through Merrell on September 4.
