HEYDUDE x Jelly Roll Debut the 'Bradley Boot'

HEYDUDE has renewed its partnership with Grammy-winning artist Jelly Roll to introduce a bold new footwear silhouette, the 'Bradley Boot.' Drawing inspiration from Jelly Roll’s signature style and deep appreciation for boots, both on and off stage, this release reflects the artist’s influence on contemporary casual fashion.

Building on the success of their earlier collaboration, "which attracted a waitlist of over 84,000 fans, the new design showcases HEYDUDE’s craftsmanship with a distinctive, music-inspired edge." Available in 'Black Suede' and 'Tan Suede,' the Bradley Boot features an exclusive HEYDUDE x Jelly Roll logo engraved on its buckle, merging artistic personality with refined detailing.

Ultimately, this collaboration highlights HEYDUDE’s continued evolution; bridging culture with creativity in a design that celebrates both individuality and shared craftsmanship.
