HEYDUDE x Lee
The HEYDUDE X Lee collab heats things up this summer with a collaboration best described as a match made in heaven. The two ‘solemates’ unite to blend Lee’s iconic denim with the expressive and playful nature of HEYDUDE. Moreover, the versatile and fashion-forward collection is Lee‘s first footwear partnership.
This nine-item collection details HEYDUDE’s expressiveness by way of color and art. Lee is no stranger to producing clothing with captivating graphics and the hand-drawn style, beach-themed designs marvelously illustrate this collab’s bohemian and free-spirited vibes.
The Shoes
Exhibiting the vibe of the HeyDude x Lee collaboration to a tee is the Wally shoe. The Wally’s bi-design is almost mullet-like with a ‘business in the front and a party in the back’ motif. Vertical white and denim blue stripes drape most sides of the shoe except for the back, which has a handsome black-and-white doodle-esque design. Cooling horizontal white and off-white stripes cascade across the top of the shoe, completing the look for a casual shoe that goes with any blue jeans.
The paired Wendy shoe takes a similar design approach but has fabulously different results. The Wendy shoe has the familiar ‘bald’ mullet motif as a gorgeous off-white pilling-like stitching covers the shoe. The back has a bold HEYDUDE logo atop a flowing rainbow. Moreover, the pilling-like stitching forms cute designs around the shoe and is beautifully framed by the moccasins’ striped ridge. This shoe is summer-ready and bound to match most casual fits at it thrown at it.
Those looking to slide into summer with the perfect fit can purchase these shoes from the HEYDUDE official website.
The Collection
All the Summer fun doesn’t stop there because the rest of the collection certainly shows out. Colorful graphic tees and tanks are the perfect summer cool factors. Gendered carpenter shorts showcase Lee’s iconic denim and HEYDUDE flare. Both shorts are summer stars. The men’s version has off-white drawstrings and brings out the beach vibes. The women’s are stylishly cute with frayed bottom hems for a freeing and fun look.
Lastly, the HEYDUDE x Lee bucket hat is a staple collab piece. The hat is reversible, and its two designs show off both brands fabulously. The “HEYDUDE” side fully displays Lee’s famous denim with an all-washed styled surface. Black and white HEYDUDE-inspired illustrations adorn The “Lee” side.
Actor Chase Stokes, who portrays “John B’ from ‘Outer Banks,’ returns to bring this HEYDUDE x Lee campaign to life. Chase has worked with HEYDUDE as a partner for previous campaigns and the eye-candy stud is an obvious choice for this collection.
The HEYDUDE x Lee collection is perfect for those who work tirelessly and want something comfortable yet elevated for the moments they get to unwind. Moreover, it’s easy to toss on and slide into any of these pieces for an effortless and summer-ready look. The complete collection is purchasable from the official Lee website.
