The Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection merges forgotten favorites with Sean’s signature color palette and design language.

A future-ready collab from the Teva archives, say hello to the Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection.

A future-ready collab from the Teva archives, say hello to the Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection.

For this collaboration, Sean Wotherspoon dug deep into the Teva archive and found something special: the Wraptor. A bold, forgotten favorite silhouette from the early 2000s that felt instantly futuristic. Hidden in its design was the spark for something unexpected. This creative journey brought together vintage design, cosmic characters, and a shared discovery of the magic and wonder of Playground Earth.

Originally released in the early 2000s, the Wraptor Shoe and Wraptor Sandal return with a future-ready update. Built on Teva’s archival 360° Wraptor strapping system, both silhouettes feature trail-ready outsoles and upgraded materials designed for multi-terrain wear. Additional design details include premium straps with patterns pulled from the Teva archive and Sean Wotherspoon’s signature color palette, quick-release buckles, and nylon shanks for added stability. The collection also includes the Hurricane XLT2, a Teva staple reimagined through Sean’s lens with bold palettes, tactile finishes, and mismatched straps pulled directly from two early-2000s designs. Constructed with 100% REPREVE® recycled polyester straps and hardware inspired by retro outdoor gear, the collection strikes a balance between technical integrity and an expressive design ethos. Designed to move with you, each silhouette seamlessly blends all-day functionality with style, made to explore Playground Earth.

“We’re so excited to launch this collection with Sean Wotherspoon,” said Jess Bensley, Product Director of Teva. “This collaboration allowed us to dig deep into the archives to bring back the Wraptor with a fresh design perspective, one that stays true to its performance roots while embracing Sean’s bold, expressive approach. Together, we’ve created a collection that reflects our shared commitment to innovation, functionality, and inspiring people to get outside, explore, and play across our Playground Earth.”

“Working with Teva on this collection gave me the chance to explore design through movement,” said Sean Wotherspoon. “We pushed into the archive, experimented with materials and colors, and built something that feels nostalgic but ready for wherever you take it.”

The campaign, imagined by Wotherspoon, brings the spirit of the collaboration to life through an archival-inspired cast and retro-futurist storytelling. It also nods to Teva’s For Playground Earth brand anthem—a reminder that the outdoors is a space for magic, wonder, and play. At the center is a cosmic cast of characters, each one inspired by real design details from the Teva archive. Together, they journey across surreal terrains and unknown worlds, discovering the magic of Playground Earth. Vibrant and whimsical, the visuals bridge past and future, highlighting Teva’s commitment to outdoor-ready design that’s made to last beyond trend cycles. From the Wraptor’s cosmic revival to a colorful take on the Hurricane XLT2, the collection is designed to roam Earth, cities, and anywhere imagination leads.

The Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection – Wraptor Shoe ($215 USD), Wraptor Sandal ($200 USD), and Hurricane XLT2 ($100 USD) - will be available for purchase globally beginning August 14, 2025, at teva.com and select global retailers. A limited-time pop-up experience in Japan will preview the collection from August 8th - 10th, with Sean Wotherspoon in attendance. The exclusive pop-up offers an early look ahead of the global launch. For more information, follow @TevaJapan on social media.
