Teva, the footwear brand owned by Deckers Brands and known for its active sandals, has announced a new spring 2021 collaboration with New York based fashion designer, Anna Sui.

The new footwear marks the second collaboration between Teva and designer, who previously partnered for a footwear collection in the spring of 2019. 

The collection features two styles, the 'Flatform Universal Anna' and the 'Ember Mid Anna.' 

In a press release, Teva said the footwear combines "Teva's signature comfort with Anna Sui's whimsical wearability," with each style paying "homage to nature with a fresh Liberty Fabrics print titled 'Botanist's Diary,' a colorful pressed botanical print with flowers that are traditionally found in English gardens."

The print features a variety of daisies, anemones, primroses, geraniums and roses in various colors including purple, yellow, orange, pink and turquoise.

Teva called the Flatform Universal "a high fashion take on a classic Teva sandal," featuring a 1.75-inch platform and recycled polyester webbing overlaid with premium Liberty Fabrics print nylon twill with fringe detailing. The shoe's hook-and-loop closure allows the wearer to adjust for fit.The Flatform Universal Anna retails at $150 and is available in women's sizes 5 to 11.

The Ember Mid Anna retails at $190 and features a heightened sole, water repellant upper and a soft microfiber lining offering a luxurious feel against the skin. The shoe also features a responsive PU footbed and a microfiber top cover for comfort. The Ember Mid Anna is available in women's sizes 5-11.

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Anna Sui for a second collection that again brings her bold aesthetic to our classic styles," said Anders Bergstrom, general manager at Teva.

"The collection proudly reflects our shared connection with nature."

Sui added: "Teva is the cool new shoe. I am so privileged to add some Anna Sui touches that coordinate with my collection. Nature is an important point of inspiration for me, so it's also exciting that we were able to incorporate more sustainable materials throughout the line."

Footwear from the Teva x Anna Sui collection can be purchased at teva.com, annasui.com, Free People, Bloomingdale's, and American Rag, starting February 2, 2021. 

In addition to Anna Sui, Teva has previously collaborated with Opening Ceremony, the Tegan and Sara Foundation, Herschel and Woolrich, among others.
