The Collegiate Collection from HEYDUDE is back! Get on your feet and cheer for the new starting lineup to get your team spirits high. The brand just added five new schools to its Collegiate Collection, including iterations of its ever-popular Wendy and Wally shoes that highlight schools with legions of basketball fans, including University of North Carolina, Texas A&M, Duke, Kentucky, and the University of Miami.
These new slip-on sneakers, available now at HEYDUDE.com, feature the logos and official colors of these big basketball schools across the ACC and SEC, with each university available in a men’s and women’s design. The Wendy slip-on sneakers for women feature a bold upper that pulls in the corresponding team’s signature colors, plus the university logo tucked on the side of the shoe. For the guys, HEYDUDE’s Wally sneakers are done with an eye-catching logo on the upper that practically screams, “I’m a super fan!,” as well as a color blocked heel that’ll have you repping your team from any angle.
Of course, these new additions to HEYDUDE’s lineup feature the lightweight comfort and practical features that the brand does best. Both the Wendy and Wally sneakers feature a slip-on design with no-tie elastic laces, and a canvas material that’s lightweight and breathable to keep your feet comfortable from tailgating to tip-off.
HEYDUDE’s Collegiate Collection is just the thing for the sports-obsessed fan in your life, whether that’s a current college student, alums, or a parent repping their family’s school spirit. These new releases join eight existing universities in the HEYDUDE Collegiate Collection, including the Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, Florida Gators, Louisville Cardinals, and more, giving any fan the ability to rep their team in comfort this basketball season and beyond!
