In London’s bustle, Ollie Ranger found focus through urban birdwatching, turning a personal ADHD sanctuary into the global Flock Together movement. Now, alongside Merrell, he’s proving that the great outdoors belongs in the city, redefining nature for a new generation of explorers. "I got into birdwatching because I got ADHD," Ollie explains. "And it was the only thing that settled my brain".
I got into birdwatching because I got ADHD, and it was the only thing that settled my brain.
That simple discovery blossomed into regular group walks, establishing a fresh blueprint for city dwellers.
Merrell recognised that grassroots spirit early on, backing Flock Together right from the outset. Now, that relationship refreshes with the global "Outside in the City" initiative. Rolling across capitals like London, New York and Paris, the campaign debunks the myth that outdoor adventure requires remote mountain ranges.
The Merrell Moab Speed 2 offers versatile performance for mixed terrain. It still packs the original Moab’s durability with a modern athletic design, featuring FloatPro Foam™ for comfort, a stabilising FlexPlate™ for support on uneven ground, and a grippy Vibram® TC5+ outsole for reliable traction.
Eco conscious construction sits right at the core of the Moab Speed 2 lineup. Up top, breathable engineered mesh and TPU overlays house 100% recycled linings and laces. Special iterations like the Vent 2K "Umber" pair retro Y2K looks with lots of ventilation for warmer afternoons.

We need to figure out what the uniform is. We haven't cracked it for birdwatching yet.
With the Moab Speed 2 leading the charge, that birdwatching uniform looks well on its way to perfection.
