Designer outlet expands footwear offering with arrival of new stores

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands has welcomed two new active footwear stores.

American brands Merrell and Saucony appeal to the adventurous and stylish consumer who enjoys being active whilst keeping up with the latest fashion trends.

Merrell was established in 1981 by Rossignol ski company, originally focusing solely on technical hiking boots. The brand strives to inspire everyone to get active and to share the simple power of being outside and evolved its offering and identity in 1997. Centre guests can now shop for colourful hiking footwear alongside apparel for men, women and children.

Saucony is known as the 'Original Running Brand' and is a leading global performance running brand that fuses innovation, style and culture.

The brand utilises contrasting colours and technology whilst prioritising sustainability to reduce the risks of climate change.

This enables consumers to live a better life through running culture as well as protecting the environment. Like Merrel, Saucony caters to men, women and children and will be 30 per cent and more off RRP prices.

The launch of these two unique and premium brands brings the total number of stores open in the Centre to 68.

This announcement follows recent news of Sole Trader opening on 21 July, a brand that provides a hand-picked range reflecting the latest style and fashion from international brands including Barbour, Crocs, UGG and Timberland.

David Jackson (pictured), centre manager at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands, said: “The arrival of three exceptional new brands - Merrell, Saucony and Sole Trader - provides a wide range of premium footwear and fashion options for our guests.

“We have stores for people who love to explore the great outdoors and for those who love to shop their favourite international brands at up to 60 per cent off. We are committed to the development and growth of the centre so watch this space for more announcements soon.”
