Teva introduces Aventrail the first trail running sandal
Teva introduces Aventrail, the first, innovative Trail Running sandal. Aventrail offers an unprecedented feeling of freedom during running and outdoor adventure!
GOLETA, California, June 26, 2024 – Teva, a division of Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), continues to move the boundaries in performance footwear and introduces the first-ever trail running sandal for an unprecedented running experience. Aventrail was created to fill a gap in the trail running market between running sandals with minimal support and modern running shoes with innovative cushioning in the midsole .
Innovation and Performance
Aventrail combines the responsiveness of a running shoe with the free feeling of a sandal. Designed for the trails, it features a W-shaped strapping system that hugs the foot, HYPER-COMF cushioning in the midsole, and a solid Spider Rubber™ tread with accentuated lugs for maximum grip.
The Vision of Jean-Luc Diard
“The difference between a true trail running performance sandal and a trail shoe is the superior experience of freedom. This sandal has the qualities of a running shoe (grip, cushioning, propulsion) but with additional high-performance elements,” says Jean-Luc Diard, Global VP of Innovation at Deckers Brands and Co-Founder of HOKA. “The Aventrail sandal has extra breathability-crucial for performance and well-being-and the ability to conform to the foot. Then there is the feeling, which is that of a more intense connection with nature, thanks to being able to perceive it more integrally, at the speed you want, because the foot is freer and can experience that particular feeling by having as little as possible separating it from the environment.”
Technical Characteristics
The key element of Aventrail is the engineered mesh upper, which provides forefoot ventilation and lockdown, combined with HYPER-COMF cushioning and Spider Rubber tread. The W Strapping System provides a secure and customized fit, allowing a unique feeling of freedom. Aventrail can be worn with or without socks, depending on the runner’s preference.
A Finish Line for Teva
“Teva launched the first sports sandal in history 40 years ago at its founding, and launching the Aventrail today-the first sandal designed specifically for trail running-is a huge milestone that marks the history of the brand and its future evolution into sport-performance,” says Lee Cox, vice president and general manager of Teva, Ahnu and Sanuk in Deckers Brand. “Forged by its credibility in this area, Aventrail begins a new era for Teva functional footwear, and we are excited to continue to innovate with this category and product range expansion.”
