Chaco Launches One Love-Inspired Z/1 Collaboration with Marley Family
Leading sandal brand teams up with music icon's family to spread unity, love, and connection
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chaco, leading sandal footwear brand, is proud to announce a collaboration with the Marley Family to launch a limited-edition collection inspired by the legendary Bob Marley. The collaboration pays tribute to Marley's enduring message of love, unity and connection through designs that encourage people to embrace every step with purpose.
Rooted in Marley's philosophy and style, the collection features updated versions of Chaco's classic Z/1 sandal, crafted to celebrate moments that bring people together and inspire movement–both physically and spiritually.
"Bob Marley's vision extended far beyond his music," says Rose Fulbright, Chaco Marketing Director. "This collaboration is an opportunity to carry forward his philosophy of living with purpose and appreciating the natural world."
Updating the footwear brand's signature Z/1 design, the new collection offers two styles inspired by Marley's philosophy: Harmony Hues and One Love Lines. Harmony Hues features a green, gold and red colorway, while One Love Lines features a minimalist black design with subtle accents, including the Marley name woven into the reverse side. Each pair includes a "Marley" badge and a symbolic woven tag, representing pride and unity.
The collection also includes a matching dog collar and leash set for four-legged companions, so adventurers of all kinds can walk together in harmony.
"My father believed in walking through life with purpose, celebrating not just the unity of people, but also the profound connection we share with the planet," said Cedella Marley, CEO of the Bob Marley Group of Companies, Grammy-winning singer, author, designer, and Marley's daughter. "Collaborating with Chaco allows us to bring that philosophy to life in a meaningful way—creating designs that inspire others to move through the world in harmony, honoring his legacy with every step taken."
The Chaco x Bob Marley limited-edition collection will be available for purchase on chacos.com, on June 17, 2025.
