Unboxing: havaianas’ “Top Nations” Collection Nods to Global Football Culture

The Story

Fully geared up for football’s biggest moment of 2026, havaianas is stepping into the mix with the release of its new Top Nations Collection. Rooted in the brand’s authentic heritage as an original Brazilian footwear maker since 1962, the latest drop is all about capturing the celebratory energy, vibrant momentum, and undeniable pride emanating from the international tradition.

The flip-flops feature classic rubber construction adorned with bold, team-inspired palettes nodding to nations like Brazil, the US, Spain, and Mexico. By focusing on its signature vintage sportswear aesthetic with quiet nods to team loyalty, havaianas positions the Top Nations line as an expressive yet effortless footwear choice for the season. As shown in the diverse lineup of colorways, the range is also deeply rooted in havaianas’ unifying spirit — much like the feeling of togetherness you get from a watch party with family and friends or a post-game celebration on the streets.

Elevating the standard flip-flop into a personalized piece of summer gear, the brand is also offering special opportunities for customization. Now available at Hypebeast Cup NYC, havaianas’ personalization station allows you to embellish your pair with special golden pins, ranging from national flags and tropical palms to mini flip-flops and turtles. With classic colors and Top Nations styles to mix with the array of personal charms, fans get to go home with a one-of-a-kind style in memory of the season.

Explore the full Top Nations Collection on the official Havaianas website, and head over to the brand’s NYC pop-up to pick up a pair, customize your straps in person, and experience the brand’s vibrant summer footprint firsthand.

Hypebeast Cup NY Dates: Jun 26 – Jul 19, 2026 Address: 430 West Broadway, New York 10012 Hours: Monday – Saturday 11a- 7pm, Sunday – 11am – 6pm
