Teva Spring 2006 Footwear ideally suited for living the Go. Do. Be.
Goleta, CA (August 30, 2006) - Leading footwear brand Teva (a division of Deckers Outdoor Corporation NASDAQ: DECK) today announced the introduction of their 2006 Spring Footwear line.
Teva’s 2006 Spring Footwear continues a brand heritage rooted in both performance innovation and a connection to an authentic outdoor lifestyle. This combination of performance technology and casual style makes Teva footwear ideal for all facets of the outdoor lifestyle, whether Going, Doing, or Being.
“Teva has been innovating outdoor footwear for 20 years,” said Deckers CEO Angel Martinez. “We understand the Go. Do. Be. nature of the outdoor experience¬– travel, action sport, and casual lifestyle– and our Spring 2006 line has been built to reflect the differing needs of the outdoor athlete and enthusiast.”
Crafted for the traveler, the Utility LX Collection is the ideal for the road, the trail, the town, or the back nine. Comfortable and versatile, the sleek styling of the ULX also comes in a range of colors. Waterproof Nubuck leather with soft microsuede footbeds bring a rugged sophistication to the entire line. Utility LX is all about the GO.
The Pro Series assembles the experience of 20+ years building high-performance footwear for the new outdoor athlete: Expedition-grade P2 kayaking booties, the Guide 06, a river professional sport sandal, or the Philter amphibious adventure race trainer. The Pro Series feature Teva’s most advanced innovations, such as Wraptor Technology for securing optimal fit, quick draining and water-repellant materials, and the Spider Rubber¬ family of outsoles – the industry’s stickiest rubber compound, providing both wet and dry traction. The Pro Series also includes the X-1, a true amphibious trail racing flat that weighs under 10 grams. The X-1 is the official shoe of the U.S. Mountain Running Team and was named Best Debut by Runner’s World magazine. The Pro Series is all about the DO.
“The Pro Series represents our commitment to building the best performance footwear for the outdoor athlete, be they in water or on land,” said Martinez.
Authentic to the outdoor lifestyle, the Yampa Collection weaves traditional Teva comfort with a natural styling native to the outdoors. Yampa Collection footwear applies soft molded cork in the footbeds, full grain leather uppers, and thick, soft, duffel-esque canvas straps. Inspired by the antiqued and weathered wooden boats used up and down the rivers of the Colorado plateau, the Yampa Collection is all about the BE.
Over 20 years ago Teva invented the Sport Sandal category. Today, Teva fuses its heritage of technical innovation and function into a complete line of outdoor footwear, sandals, and flip-flops for men, women, and children. The Spring 2006 collection emphasizes amphibious performance and comfort-driven footwear for outdoor professionals and the outdoor lifestyle. Teva is the original sport sandal and the future of outdoor footwear.
