To commemorate 15 years in business, Bedrock Sandals is launching a limited-edition birthday drop inspired by the brand’s geological roots and archival artwork. Learn more about the Bedrock Sandals Metamorphic Collection here…

Bedrock Sandals was founded in 2011 by geology grads Dan Opalacz and Nick Pence while working AmeriCorps river restoration jobs in Northern California. The sandals available at the time weren’t holding up to long, wet days moving through rivers, so they made their own.

Despite moving around over the years, they eventually put down roots in Missoula, Montana. They’ve expanded their product line with several sandal models, the super-popular Mountain Clogs, and their new Rockhound Flip-Flops. “Fifteen years later, the company has grown into a proper footwear brand, but the geology fieldwork never really left. From the foundational name ‘Bedrock’ to the niche easter egg puns baked into the product line, the solid layers beneath our feet continue to inspire the brand’s work.”

To celebrate 15 years in business, Bedrock Sandals has released a limited-edition collection of sandals and accessories. “The Metamorphic Collection gets its name from metamorphic rocks, which don’t form quickly,” Bedrock explained, “The collection’s artwork, created by Bedrock’s in-house artist Matt, follows a similar process, pulling sketches from old notebooks and archive materials and reassembling them into something new.”

The limited Metamorphic sandal drop includes Cairn Evo ($115 USD) and Cairn 3D Pro ($140 USD) models in the Tourmaline colorway. Only 500 pairs were made, and each pair comes with a custom Bedrockin’ Archive Towel, a PackTowl printed with Matt’s collage artwork. The rest of the Metamorphic Collection includes a sticker pack, tee, and standalone Bedrockin’ Archive PackTowl, available separately from the sandals.

The entire collection drops today at 10 a.m. Mountain Time, and it will be available from BedrockSandals.com.
