THE COLLECTION

Sanuk x free-est Bubblecush Flip Flops

With bright, beachy colorways designed exclusively in collaboration with free-est, these playful flip flops bring a fresh, feel-good energy to vacation dressing. Featuring quick-drying thong straps and a water-friendly design, they’re made for everything from poolside lounging to seaside strolls. A squishy, multicolor beaded ETPU footbed delivers a bouncy, bubble-like feel with every step, while a recycled jersey lining and Happy U tread sponge rubber outsole, crafted with 53% recycled materials, add an eco-conscious touch to this effortlessly fun, slip-on style.

Sanuk x free-est Sling Bubblecush Sandals

Designed in exclusive, sun-soaked hues in collaboration with free-est, these Sanuk sling sandals offer a fresh take on all-day comfort. The original silhouette features wide, two-way stretch straps that move with you, creating a flexible, stay-put fit with a softly worn-in feel. Underfoot, a textured, beaded ETPU footbed adds lightweight bounce and dimension, while the durable Happy U tread outsole—crafted with 53% recycled materials—grounds the style in conscious design. Finished with a water-friendly build, they’re made for easy transitions from sand to street.

The free-est x Sanuk collaboration will be sold at Freepeople.com, sanuk.com and select free-est store locations in the US starting April 10.
