(April 27, 2026) - TOKYO, Japan - Teva, the footwear brand that developed the world's first strapped sports sandal in 1984, is excited to announce the release of its first collaboration model with DESCENDANT, the 'HURRICANE XLT3 DCDT.' The product will be available starting Thursday, April 30, 2026, at DESCENDANT's online store, three flagship stores, authorized dealers, and Teva's online store, as well as Teva's international channels in the APAC region (Hong Kong and Taiwan).
This release utilizes Teva's latest model, 'Hurricane XLT3,' introduced in March 2026. DESCENDANT is the first brand in the world to collaborate on the latest update of the Hurricane series.
Updated for the first time in nine years, the 'HURRICANE XLT3' features enhanced durability, cushioning, and grip. Teva's unique Universal Strapping System remains a key feature, while the top sole has been increased in thickness by 5mm. This not only improves impact absorption for walking but also provides a subtle height boost. The new 'Spider Rubber® Endure' material and a fresh lug pattern on the outsole further enhance durability and traction.
Moreover, the addition of FuseLock™ to the hook-and-loop fasteners increases strength, ensuring the straps remain secure even during intense movement, allowing focus on performance trails. The straps are made from 100% REPREVE® recycled polyester, which is quick-drying.
In this collaboration, the entire design is unified in a sophisticated tonal gray, featuring a custom color created specifically for this project. The iconic HORIZON label is placed to match the heel tape's shape. DCDT+CETUS graphics are printed in matching gray on the side of the sole. Furthermore, Teva's brand slogan, 'FOR PLAYGROUND EARTH,' is printed on the back of the tape, incorporating the essence of both brands into every detail. This pair is ideal for those who want to explore water, mountains, or streets comfortably and freely.

■ About Teva
Teva was born in the Grand Canyon in 1984. A river guide, struggling with flip-flops that easily slipped off while guiding people, improvised by attaching a watch's velcro strap to the thong. This bricolage approach gave birth to the first sports sandal. 'Teva' means 'Nature' in Hebrew. Rooted in the riverbank, nature and environmental conservation are deeply tied to the brand's identity.
