# Monochrome Sport Sandals The N.HOOLYWOOD TPES x Teva Hurricane XLT3 CT Receives an All-Black By Amy Duong | Published 2026-06-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xlt3-ct References: [jp.teva](https://jp.teva.com/)  The second collaboration between [N.HOOLYWOOD TEST](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/test-product-exchange-service) PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE and [Teva](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hurricane-xlt3-dcdt) reworks the Hurricane XLT3 CT through a strictly monochromatic lens. Marking the first time the closed-toe sport sandal has been used as a collaborative base, the design applies [N.HOOLYWOOD TPES’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nhoolywood-compile-x-big-mac-x-wrangler) military-focused philosophy to Teva’s amphibious silhouette. Every visible component is rendered in black, from the mesh upper and bungee lacing system to the branding elements, creating a uniform appearance inspired by military camouflage principles rather than conventional fashion-driven color choices. The collaboration preserves the performance-focused construction of the Hurricane XLT3 CT. A breathable mesh upper promotes airflow and quick drying, while the adjustable bungee lacing system provides a secure fit and easy on-off functionality. Underfoot, an EVA-rich midsole delivers enhanced cushioning compared to previous Hurricane models.
