School is officially in session — and so is HEYDUDE’s new Collegiate Collection. This football season, slip into HEYDUDE’S new game day-ready sneakers to rep your college’s iconic colors and logos. Available on September 19th, HEYDUDE’s popular Wendy and Wally shoes are screaming school spirit for teams across the country, from Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, Florida Gators, Louisville Cardinals, and more at HEYDUDE.com.

Styles featuring select school’s colors and logos are available in HEYDUDE’s popular Wendy and Wally styles, so guys and girls can stock up for the season. Wendy’s collegiate designs feature a bold color upper, white sides, and the team’s logo at the heel, while Wally’s are seen in clean tri-colorblocking across the shoe with matching laces. Both styles boast HEYDUDE’s signature slip-on design, with flexible sport mesh material, cloud-like cushioning, and a lightweight feel that ensures effortless comfort on your feet — especially when you need shoes standing all day at the tailgate and the big game.

HEYDUDE’s Wally and Wendy silhouettes are reminiscent of on-trend preppy boat shoe styles, while providing unparalleled comfort and genuine functionality as everyday shoes. It’s easy to style these spirited slip-on sneakers, whether you’re attending class on campus or supporting your team in the stands. You likely already have your gear on deck for the football season ahead, so these will seamlessly pair with any branded apparel. You can pair the Collegiate Wendy’s and Wally’s with anything, from team jerseys and hoodies, to sweatpants or shorts. Or you can keep your look low-profile and let all the accessories do the chanting, by wearing easy activewear or jeans and pairing it with your new HEYDUDE’s and a team ball cap or bucket hat. Just swipe on a bit of eye black, pick up some pompoms, and head to the tailgate to rep your colors.

The Collegiate line is launching just in time for football season, but you can always sport your school spirit year-round, thanks to the versatile aesthetic and breathability of the Wally and Wendy. HEYDUDE’s Flex and Fold technology makes these comfortable shoes for both men and women. They’re also great shoes for travel, as you can easily take them off in the TSA line or pack them in your luggage for an away game. No matter where the game is, HEYDUDE makes it easy to slip on and be on the go for the next wild game day and repeat.

Secure your school team’s shoe from HEYDUDE.com on September 19th, so you have them waiting in the wings in time for the next tailgate.
