not digging those merrells
Did you look at the other colours?
There might be alternatives to Merrell but I got tired of looking. For some reason it's very onerous to find out the weight of a shoe. And most currently available ultralight running shoes have 3 + inch thick soles. Flats are a thing of the past.

I took a set of scales into Sports Direct and got the cheapest, lightest ones I could find. Less than 500g for the pair, which wasn't terrible for around £35.

You might find RunRepeat.com helpful if you are loooking - they have nearly 100 pairs of running trainers listed at sub 250g (which they weigh themselves).
Agree the trend is definitely to have big soles which are much less packable unfortunately, but a few options I saw from RunRepeat at a quick look:
New Balance Minimus TR £73.50
Nike Free run 50 £110
Adidas Pure Motion £41 -
Wouldn’t have been my colour of choice but picked these up for £35 on eBay. Impressively light.
