The Suburban Train deploys its epic branch towards AIFA

Merlin Duck, the duck that became a symbol of Mexican fans during the 2026 World Cup, now has its own line of footwear. The Panam brand launched a limited edition collection inspired by the animal, as part of the opening of its new store in Parque Toreo, Naucalpan.

The story began when a duck appeared at the celebrations of the Mexican team’s matches. She quickly became a phenomenon on TikTok and Instagram, gaining thousands of followers. A family adopted him and now his popularity transcends the networks.

Collection details

The design opts for a sporty silhouette in white, with smooth panels and light gray suede finishes on the toe and heel. The laces are an intense orange, in reference to Merlin’s beak. The pair includes five collectible pins with different illustrations of the duck, allowing you to personalize the sneakers.

As a special touch, the shoe has a metal pendant in the shape of a duck, held with a small chain. It can be removed and used as a keychain. Additionally, three sets of laces come: white, bright orange, and matte orange.

Impact and availability

The collaboration will be sold exclusively at the new Panam store in Parque Toreo. There will only be 200 pairs, in different silhouettes, with prices from 549 to 949 pesos. They will be available while supplies last.

A percentage of sales will be allocated to the care and protection of Merlin Duck, turning each purchase into direct support for the animal. Thus, a story born on the internet makes the leap to the world of fashion.

A new blow to the gang that attacked the payroll of the Oaxaca State DIF. The State Attorney General’s Office reported the arrest of J. S. M. A. in the city of Puebla. With this, there are now seven people insured for the theft of three million 600 thousand pesos that occurred on April 26 on Avenida Universidad de Oaxaca in Juárez.

This is how the criminal cell operated

According to the investigations, those involved arrived in Oaxaca one day before the robbery. They stayed in a hotel in the Historic Center to coordinate logistics. The authorities traced the escape route, identified vehicles, telephone lines, security areas and financial movements linked to the network.

The first six detainees were captured on May 4 in Infonavit San Bartolo, Puebla: I. M. L., R. D. P. and M. A. S. V. A day later, on May 5, A. I. T. M. — identified as the operational leader — and J. C. C. were captured. The main organizer of the gang, identified as A. M. S. R., would have obtained and provided strategic information to commit the crime.

The seventh arrest occurred on July 17 on Segunda Cerrada street on 5 Norte, San Rafael Oriente neighborhood, in Puebla. The Prosecutor’s Office continues investigations to completely dismantle the structure and bring all those responsible to justice.

Detention in Mazatlán

The Security Cabinet reported on the arrest of Ricardo ‘N’, alias ‘El Tío’, alleged financial operator and leader of a criminal cell linked to Los Chapitos. The arrest occurred in Mazatlán, Sinaloa.

In the operation, carried out in a coordinated manner by the Secretariat of the Navy, the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, the Attorney General’s Office and the National Intelligence Center, another five people were arrested.

The authorities seized firearms, chargers, cartridges, drugs and vehicles. The information was disseminated in the agency’s official accounts.

The Security Cabinet reiterated its commitment to continue working together to weaken criminal structures and stop those responsible for violence.
