Sanuk and Traeger's partnership has resulted in the cheeky Happy Hour Lite x Traeger, a limited-edition barbecue shoe that promises to elevate one's outdoor cooking escapades. Aligning with National Barbecue Month, the playful footwear silhouette boasts a sauce-repellent upper material and a patent-pending removable beverage opener. These features make it ideal for outdoor grilling sessions.
The Happy Hour Lite x Traeger is adorned with a butcher block-inspired wood grain print and custom co-branded details. The barbecue shoe is unisex and can be easily slipped on. The upper comes in camouflage and dark brown colors, embodying the essence of Traeger's outdoor cooking culture. Crafted for durability, comfort, and style, the Happy Hour Lite x Traeger shoes feature an anatomically molded, cork-lined, EVA top sole with a PORON® heel pad.
