The Heydude x Billabong collab is a bit of a transporter…

It’s taking us back to the days when Occy was tearing up the tour for the second time, fleeces and scribbly patternwork were popping off, and $4 worth of chips could feed the whole family (with chicken salt, of course). Oh yes, the late ’90s were a glorious time, and this drop is sending us right back there.

The four-piece offering sees two classic Heydude silhouettes – the Wendy and the Wally – with a slip-on option for both, elevated with archival Billabong prints. The colourful, warbled-out designs are instantly recognisable to anyone old enough to remember a time when Hey Hey It’s Saturday was prime-time entertainment.

So how does it feel to be wearing nostalgia on your tootsies? Well, these bad boys and girls are made for cruising, with an ultralight outsole and Heydude’s easy-slip slip-on tech. Basically, they’re perfect for that sand-to-concrete or grass transition – you know the one.

You can shop the collab now at City Beach or online on Heydude.
