【Fishing】Collaboration with bass fishing brand! High-rebound conditioning sandals that can be worn while fishing
The Japanese bass fishing brand "deps" has teamed up with "freewaters"! The conditioning sandals equipped with unique technology support long periods of standing and movement. This is a pair that everyone who wants to enjoy summer actively—whether in harsh fields or the city—wants to check out.
A tough collaboration between two major brands has resulted in a pair of shoes
Seeking the “unknown big catch,” we head to the waterside before dawn──it’s a supreme moment that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, the movement on rugged terrain and the long hours of standing in a boat or on the shore accumulate a significant burden on our legs and back, more than we can imagine. In other words, to truly enjoy confronting nature, the key point is how to create a comfortable environment for our feet.
To meet the demands of active anglers, the leading bass fishing brand in Japan, deps, has formed a strong partnership with freewaters, which continues to offer high-performance footwear. This marks the birth of shoes with top-tier specifications created for all anglers who wish to stand in the field with their own style.
A new dimension of cushioning technology that pushes the next step forward
The biggest strong point of these sandals is their unique Cloud9 technology, which boasts astonishing high rebound. It brilliantly resolves the common complaint of typical recovery sandals being too soft and allowing the foot to sink. True to the concept of not sinking in and making the next step easier, they effectively absorb weight while providing exceptional propulsion when you start walking.
Even during long hours of standing while fishing, the pressure on the soles of the feet is evenly distributed. Even in harsh conditions under the blazing sun or on unstable grounds, it helps minimize physical exhaustion. This high-rebound cushion, arrived at through thorough pursuit of functionality, will provide an unprecedented sense of security not only for anglers who stoically seek fishing results but also for anyone who wants to handle weekend camping or daily travel smartly.
It stands out in the field and blends into the city. A premium appearance exclusive to deps.
This special model, Cloud9 Maxx, boasts a limited color scheme and design rich in the rugged worldview unique to deps. With a minimal form that eliminates waste, it is finished in a robust silhouette that somehow evokes strength and stimulates an adult's playful spirit. It boasts high versatility that naturally adapts to any situation, from urban streets to tough waterside fields.
Lightweight yet extremely durable. It can be confidently used tough in the fishing scenes where getting wet is common. While retaining the lightness characteristic of easy-to-wear sandals, it gently holds the entire foot, suppressing lateral movement during travel and allowing for active targeting of fishing results in any field.
Choosing trusted gear as your companion is the secret to enjoying a rich summer.
The limited recovery sandals proposed by deps and freewaters go beyond mere footwear; they become an essential piece to transform your weekends by the water into something more creative and full of fishing success.
With Cloud9 technology on your side, why not set off this summer of 2026 with a bit more aggression in search of unseen beautiful landscapes and emotional experiences? Only those who are prepared can savor the exquisite moments that await.
