Teva, Wotherspoon Reimagine Archival Icons With New Designs

Teva along with visionary designer and artist Sean Wotherspoon introduce the Teva x Sean Wotherspoon collection, which merges forgotten favorites with his signature color palette and design language.

The result is a reimagination of three silhouettes, led by the return of the Wraptor and a fresh take on the Hurricane XLT2. This limited edition collaboration is available now.

For this collaboration, Wotherspoon dug deep into the Teva archive and found something special: the Wraptor. This bold, forgotten favorite silhouette from long ago 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 magical wonder of Playground Earth.

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

Old is New Again

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 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 Wotherspoon’s lens. These include bold palettes, tactile finishes, and mismatched straps pulled directly from two early-2000s designs. They are 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,” 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. It 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.”

Cosmic Cast

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 made to last beyond trend cycles. 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) – is available at teva.com and select global retailers.
