The Taylor Stitch x Chaco Z/Sandal Collaboration is Built For The Long Haul
ROCKFORD, Mich. (April 11, 2023) – Chaco Footwear, the original builders of the iconic Z/1 Sandal for ultimate outdoor adventures, have teamed up with Taylor Stitch the men’s apparel brand, to launch an all-new, limited-edition version of the Z/1 USA Classic Sandal in Navy Wae. The men’s sandal features Taylor Stitch’s signature wae knit pattern (used in many of their heritage styles) in the custom developed nanoweb upper and is built for anyone who loves the water, the trail, and everything in between.
“We’re huge fans of Chaco here at Taylor Stitch, and they’re a mainstay in the summer adventure kit at this point,” said Luke McAlpine, Sr. Director of Brand Marketing and Partnerships at Taylor Stitch. “When we started talking with their team about doing something unique together, we couldn’t help ourselves -- it felt like a natural fit given we’re both committed to building long-lasting, high-performing products.”
The Taylor Stitch x Chaco Z/1 USA Classic Sandals (MSRP $105) are the ideal combination of durability and style, made with fully adjustable straps for a customized fit, and Chaco’s signature LUVSEATTM footbed for all day support. Constructed in the United States with recycled REPREVE webbing, these sandals are ready to withstand any outdoor adventure while being stylish enough for happy hour. Plus, Chaco’s Z/1 sandals are fully repairable at Chaco’s own ReChaco facility making them a long-lasting, sustainable footwear choice.
“The commitment Taylor Stitch has to Responsibly-built products and limiting environmental impact made them a natural partner for Chaco,” said Lauren Poole, Sr. Marketing Director, Chaco. “Chaco makes products that last a lifetime, and we’re excited about all the new adventures this Z/Sandal will empower for both the Taylor Stitch and Chaco communities.”
