Merrell, a leader in outdoor lifestyle, believes that the best way to take care of yourself is to go outside and explore nature. This is supported by various studies which show that being outdoors can help reduce stress, improve mental health, and boost creativity. To celebrate International Women’s Month, Merrell invited women of different backgrounds to come together for an immersive experience in the lush forests of Tanay, Rizal to connect with each other and to gain insight into the importance of taking time out to reconnect with the nature.

Celebrating #PrettyStrong Women

Among the attendees were actresses Aubrey Miles and Meg Imperial, Bb Pilipinas International 2022 Nicole Borromeo, Bb Pilipinas 2022 2^nd Runner-up Stacey Gabriel, Miss Globe 2021 Maureen Montagne, fashion model Maria Isabela Galeria, fitness coaches Patricia Gatus and Kezh Landicho, among others. Kicking off the event was a calming outdoor yoga and meditation session with certified yoga teacher Anna Manalastas. This was followed by a light hike through the Tanay mountainside and culminated with talks featuring travel content creators Charlene Ajose and Natalie Tarin.

Merrell’s Bravada Collection

At the heart of the event is the Bravada collection, Merrell’s flagship women’s line which is especially made for adventure-seeking ladies in mind. The latest addition, the Bravada 2 Wrap, features a uniquely feminine silhouette but is equipped with a Merrell mountain-grade Quantum Grip™ rubber outsole and molded nylon arch shank – making it a force to be reckoned with outdoors.

The collection’s bestselling sandals the Bravada Backstrap and Cord Wrap now come in stylish new colorways Moon and Falcon – providing more options for girls-on-the-go.
