Teva®, a brand of the US company Deckers Brands, presents its spring/summer 2026 collection. This is the next evolution of its ‘For Playground Earth’ platform. The SS26 collection is a companion for outdoor adventures. It combines performance technology with design innovation to inspire and support exploration in the world’s natural playgrounds – from mountain peaks to river banks.
‘For Playground Earth’ is more than just a slogan. It’s a call to celebrate the full spectrum of discovery, from everyday outdoor moments to extraordinary adventures. The pursuit of play and adventure guides everything Teva stands for. It releases joy, connection and wonder while also being a bold, joyful call to action. Through product innovation, athlete testing and targeted partnerships, Teva aims to inspire everyone to get outside and explore Playground Earth. It celebrates the places that make adventure possible.
“Since launching For Playground Earth, Teva has returned to its outdoor roots as a heritage brand offering footwear solutions for modern adventurers,” said Lee Cox, global vice president and general manager of Teva. “The Spring/Summer 2026 collection celebrates this mission. It creates functional, performance-oriented footwear that allows people to move freely and explore nature’s diverse playgrounds with curiosity and joy.”
Hurricane Collection: Wherever curiosity leads
The Hurricane collection was designed for those who follow their curiosity at every turn. It elevates Teva’s signature sandals with outdoor-focused features and closed-toe options. Each model features grippy outsoles and soft foam for all-day comfort. They’re made for everything from dirt trails to riverside climbs. Now the popular product line is being refreshed with new models and technologies.
Teva first introduced the Hurricane sandal in 2002. It has been a popular classic ever since. Now Teva’s most iconic sandal is getting an upgrade. The Hurricane XLT3 takes everything that was appreciated about the XLT2 and improves on it. It offers an additional 5 millimeters of soft foam under the foot and FuseLock™ Velcro technology that keeps the sandals securely on the foot. An updated lug pattern on the outsole provides better grip.
The Hurricane XLT3 CT offers additional protection for the toes. It provides breathable comfort and coverage for more demanding activities. Additionally, the Hurricane Trailsetter features a secure, laceless fit, a cushioned midsole and a grippy Spider Rubber® Endure outsole. This means it’s ready to comfortably keep up with runs, hikes and winding paths.
Aventrail Collection: Wherever the path leads
The Aventrail family, born from Teva’s trail running innovations, returns with new colorways. These are inspired by sun-drenched paths and the joy of summer movement. Each model offers propulsive cushioning, support from the adjustable W-Strapping system and Spider Rubber® Endure traction for secure support.
The open Aventrail sandal keeps you cool during strenuous runs. The versatile Aventrail R2T handles the transition from road to trail seamlessly. The innovative, laceless Aventrail shoe adds playful new colors to the performance line. It allows direct foot contact on the responsive Supercritical Foam (SFC) EVA midsole for unmatched comfort.
Hydratrek Collection: Wherever the water goes
The Hydratrek family is designed for amphibious adventures. She is inspired by nature’s best problem solvers. They feature a tree frog-inspired tread pattern and Spider Rubber® Tether outsoles that provide grip both in and out of the water.
The Hydratrek sandal is ready to take the plunge. The Hydratrek CT offers additional toe protection and quick lacing for a secure fit on rough terrain and wet surfaces.
The ApreAqua CT was developed for relaxed water adventures and the time after the adventure. It’s designed for splash-proof summer fun and ready for a river trip. A buoyant, injection-molded EVA upper and drainage holes ensure quick-drying comfort. It also features a durable rubber outsole. This provides traction and stability on wet surfaces and makes it robust enough for outdoor adventures.
Tirra Sport: A modern interpretation of a Teva classic
Teva’s popular Tirra silhouette returns in a redesigned sports edition. It’s made for summer hikes, paddling days and everything in between. With improved comfort, better fit and longer durability compared to the original, the Tirra Sport continues Teva’s legacy of making adventure possible for all.
Wraptor: A bold comeback for the trail and beyond
The Wraptor collection has been revived from the archives. It’s a nod to early 2000s trail style, but with updated materials and modern performance. The Wraptor sandal features a 360-degree strap system for a custom fit, a durable outsole and a vintage look. The Wraptor shoe brings back the original mixed-material upper and a 360-degree strap system. It’s finished off with a durable Spider Rubber® Endure sole made for today’s adventures.
Developed and refined by the Bureau of Adventure
Teva’s ‘Bureau of Adventure’ athletes continue to test the brand’s most technically demanding shoes. They validate the Aventrail and Hydratrek families in practical use. Whether it’s Mike Wardian setting the fastest known times (FKTs) in the British Virgin Islands with the Aventrail R2T and the Aventrail shoe, or Shyanne Orvis wading deep into remote rivers with the Hydratrek in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Their practical experience drives continuous design development. So the ‘For Playground Earth’ ethos is brought to life with every step.
Partnerships with impact
Teva remains committed to purposeful partnerships. These protect, preserve and expand access to the world’s natural playgrounds. The brand is increasing its investments in organizations through its ‘For Playground Earth’ platform. These promote environmental protection, community connection and inclusive access to outdoor spaces.
In 2026, Teva proudly supports Runners for Public Lands, The Conservation Alliance and The Venture Out Project. The work of these three organizations reflects Teva’s ongoing commitment to a more sustainable and equitable outdoor future.
“At Runners for Public Lands, we believe that running connects us deeply to landscapes and each other,” said Kathleen Baker, executive director of Runners for Public Lands. “Partnering with Teva allows us to strengthen that connection. We mobilize runners and outdoor enthusiasts alike to protect the places we run and make nature accessible to everyone in our community.”
