Attention, Deadheads. Just in time for warmer weather, Sanuk has launched a new capsule collection inspired by the Grateful Dead.

This launch marks the California-based brand’s fourth collaboration with the iconic rock band and is sustainably made. It features the brand’s new Soft Top midsoles comprised of 20% proprietary Bloom Foam, which uses repurposed algae. The collection consists of four groovy iterations of the brand’s most popular silhouettes for men and women, including flip flops and Sanuk‘s signature Sidewalk Surfers.

Each psychedelic style features a tie-dye upper paying homage to the famous band tees worn by Deadheads throughout history. The band’s original 13-point lightning bolt logo is also stamped on the insole.

Watch on FN

Pairs in the collection range from $50 to $65.
