Designed For Sun, Surf and Everything in Between - Comfort Goes Where the Water Flows!

WESTWOOD, Mass., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you're at the beach, on the dock, or out fishing, we know HEYDUDE fans are looking for a shoe that ensures all-day comfort and performance wherever adventures take you.

In this partnership with Heisman Trophy Winner Travis Hunter, we're launching the HEY2O collection for men, women and children, making it the perfect choice for the whole family in and around the water (and off the field!) this summer.

"Our fans are constantly seeking out stylish, hybrid shoes, so we wanted to bring them something that was Unlike Anything this summer," said Paul Nugent, CMO, HEYDUDE. "And by pairing the collection with Travis Hunter, whose hobbies are as unique as he is, we were able to co-create impactful content that really highlights the versatility and innovation of the HEY2O Collection."

With added traction for wet surfaces, drainage throughout the insole and outsole, and perforations for breathability and ventilation, the HEY2O collection is unlike anything, keeping feet fresh in and around the water. Plus, the easy on/off, no-tie lace system provides a secure yet convenient fit, making it effortless to slip on and go.

"Kicking off the design process, it was important that we understood how and when our audience spent time around water and outdoor activities, so we could innovate against use cases and common pain points," said Thom Gridley, VP, Product & Design, HEYDUDE. "Our team worked hard to create this versatile shoe that takes you from land to water back to land with drainage throughout the insole and outsole and perforations for breathability and ventilation. We hope our community of dudes like these shoes as much as we do!"
