Teva® Partnered with Acclaimed Designer Sean Wotherspoon

Teva® and acclaimed designer Sean Wotherspoon joined forces to revive archival footwear designs. This limited-edition collection merges outdoor functionality with streetwear aesthetics.

Teva® and Sean Wotherspoon's collaboration breathes new life into three silhouettes, including the long-discontinued Wraptor shoe and sandal from the early 2000s. The archival footwear designs are infused with Wotherspoon’s signature vibrant color schemes and retro-futuristic design language while maintaining Teva’s technical outdoor DNA. The Wraptor models feature upgraded materials, trail-ready outsoles, and the brand’s original 360° strapping system reimagined with quick-release buckles and stability-enhancing nylon shanks. The collection also includes a reinterpreted Hurricane XLT2 sandal with mismatched straps sourced from vintage Teva designs. The piece was constructed using 100% recycled polyester.

The Teva® x Sean Wotherspoon hybrid designs target fashion-conscious adventurers seeking footwear that transitions seamlessly from urban exploration to outdoor pursuits.
