Outdoor adventurers, your favorite Teva sandals are ready to make your daily life shine. This summer, Teva is collaborating with the British-born, New York-based designer Christian Cowan, fusing together metallics, glitter, and the outdoors to make the summer fun.
This two-piece limited-edition capsule collection is the clash of Teva’s classic sporty silhouette and Christian Cow’s fierce aesthetic. Featuring head-turning hues and chrome touches on each sandals’ buckles and straps, with all straps spotlighting earth-friendly materials, this collection is more like a positive attitude to live on: wearers, you can express the freedom and experience life’s everyday adventures in bold fashion.
In Christian Cowan’s signature fluorescent pink, the newly designed Hurricane Gladiator features an ultra-strappy gladiator upper. Yet, the design didn’t leave environmentalism behind - the recycled polyester straps are made of traceable, verifiable Repreve plastic and polyester yarn by Unifi.
Rounding out the collection is the Hurricane XLT2 sandal offered in Silver and Pink. A take on the iconic Teva sandal, this new XLT2 sandal has straps embellished in environmentally-friendly plant-based glitter. With a rugged Durabrasion Rubber outsole, this everyday-wear sandal speaks for comfort and durability.
“As a designer most known for designing party dresses, I am so excited to bring the party to the sandal world through this collection with Teva '', says Christian Cowan. “This collaboration is fun, free-spirited and functional, and blends both our worlds together harmoniously. I loved working with existing Teva silhouettes and dialing up the sparkle, a testament to Teva’s free-spirited nature, and hope both existing and new fans of both brands will enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoyed designing them with Teva!”
The Teva x Christian Cowan Hurricane Gladiator in Pink and Hurricane XLT2 in Silver and Pink are both available in extended all gender inclusive sizing, size 4-14, and retails for $175 and $90. The capsule collection is available for purchase in select specialty retail stores as well as online at Teva.com.
