The first collaboration between Sean Wotherspoon and Teva: vintage style meets cutting-edge functionality.

Sean Wotherspoon is an artist, designer, and one of the world's leading vintage collectors. He rose to fame at 23 by opening Round Two, a renowned vintage store in the heart of Los Angeles. He has collaborated with numerous global brands, from sneaker labels and apparel companies to automotive brands, with each piece reflecting his signature style through the use of vibrant colors, unique materials, and vintage aesthetics. Most recently, in January 2025, he partnered with vintage-style apparel brand GAP as their Global Vintage Curator. 

Before becoming the Sean we know today, he was a kid who loved living in nature, wearing Teva sandals on every family adventure with his father. That childhood connection to nature has remained in his heart, and when the opportunity arose to collaborate with Teva to create early 2000s-style footwear, it was the perfect "meant-to-be" match. 

Sean's passion for vintage isn't just about "style"—it's a perspective on storytelling across eras. His collaboration with Teva isn't just about finding cool old shoes; it’s about sparking something greater. It’s a world of narratives ignited by things once forgotten and powerful design. 

This gave birth to the Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection—a lineup that reinvents three classic silhouettes into futuristic footwear, injecting color and personality into every detail. It is an imaginative collection that blends functionality with avant-garde design, ready for adventure under Teva's "Playground Earth" campaign. 

Inspiration from the past for a creative collection. 
While Sean was exploring Teva’s archives, one silhouette that stood out was The Wraptor—a shoe first introduced in the early 2000s, featuring strap designs that were cutting-edge for their time combined with a one-of-a-kind construction technique. That was the starting point for this collaboration. 
Taking this visionary shoe from the past, Sean imagined an entire universe, including characters, locations, and stories that would awaken memories of the past while stepping into a forward-thinking future. 

Meet the characters that will take you on a journey through the universe. 
The story's protagonist is Taka Jones, a futuristic space cowboy who leads a unique group of explorers on a journey to an imaginative world. He is joined by teammates like Leni the space fish, a cosmic chameleon, and a star-trekking scorpion. Each character was inspired and designed based on specific details and colors from Teva’s past. 
They aren't just mascots; they are characters that reflect the fun and courageous spirit of this collaboration. Get ready to journey with them as they guide you through a mysterious world filled with classic, imaginative wonder. 

The Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection. 
A stylish collection featuring three unique footwear silhouettes, all tied together by their vibrant colors, shapes, and cutting-edge functionality. 

The Wraptor Sandal is a revival of the original 2000s style, which served as the starting point of inspiration for Sean. He has elevated it with breathable mesh, easy-release buckles, and a unique 360° strapping system, making it an eye-catching shoe that still retains all of its functionality. Designed for all-day wear, it handles both city streets and your chosen trails with ease. 

The Wraptor Shoe is a low-profile sneaker designed for both urban street walking and outdoor adventures. With a grippy outsole, an easy-to-use toggle lacing system, and multi-colored details, it takes classic Teva models and reinterprets them into street-ready footwear.  
For fans who love Sean's unique signature style, this shoe is a must-have. 

The Hurricane XLT2 is one of the classics that every Teva fan knows, and it rounds out this collection with its cool and classic aesthetic.  
Sean has added a fresh twist by mixing straps from various past collections into a patchwork design that is both fun and fully functional.  
Featuring quick-dry webbing and a durable outsole, it is ready for any adventure—from forest trails and streams to city streets. This is a shoe that will take you all around the world. 

More than just a collaboration. 
What makes this collection different isn't just the footwear; it's the "story" hidden within. Sean has created a world full of retro-fusion, imagination, and childhood adventures with Teva. Through his creative vision, he has reimagined and transformed the designs into something powerful, striking, and uniquely one-of-a-kind. The Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection is now available in limited quantities. Whether you wear them to hit the hiking trails, walk the city streets, or venture anywhere else, this collection is ready to go with you on every path, in line with Teva’s "Playground Earth" campaign.
