Lightweight Water-Friendly Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

HEYDUDE Partnered with Travis Hunter for the 'HEY2O Collection'

— March 13, 2025 — Fashion
In partnership with Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy Winner, HEYDUDE introduces the 'HEY2O Collection,' a versatile footwear line for men, women, and children. Designed for the entire family, this collection is an ideal choice for summer activities both in and around water, as well as for casual outings off the field.

What sets the HEY2O Collection apart is its thoughtful design, featuring enhanced traction for wet surfaces, effective drainage throughout the insole and outsole, and perforations that promote breathability and ventilation. As a result, the shoes provide ongoing comfort and freshness, even in aquatic environments. Additionally, the collection incorporates a convenient no-tie lace system, which ensures a secure yet easy fit, making it effortless to slip on and go for numerous activities associated with water.
