Overview freewaters, a footwear brand born in California in 2010, is launching a limited edition collaboration model 'Cloud9 Maxx' with the Japanese bass fishing brand 'deps'.

This model was created with a perspective of 'cherishing the feet' of anglers, who endure harsh environments such as long hours of standing and travel, and is inspired by the time spent in waterside fields.

We are delivering this deps-exclusive pair, which provides comfort from the beginning to the end of a fishing trip through its unique high-rebound technology and excellent grip.

Key Features

### Unique High-Rebound 'Cloud9 Footbed' to Support Long Hours of Standing and Travel The base model, 'Cloud9 Maxx', adopts the Cloud9 footbed developed independently by freewaters. It offers a balance of excellent rebound and stability that doesn't sink too much, rather than just softness to rest the feet. It comfortably supports anglers' feet, making them less tired during long-distance driving all night and during real fishing hours standing for hours on boats or shores.

### Outsole with Excellent Grip It achieves both peace-of-mind grip and lightness even on slippery watersides. Rubber is placed precisely only where needed on the outsole. While maintaining high lightness, it exerts excellent grip even on decks wet with morning dew or slippery footing. It is a specification that supports anglers' feet in any scene, from active movements in tough fields to daily use.

Brand Philosophy With the concept of 'comfort that makes you want to go out more', freewaters develops products that support time spent in various fields. This collaboration with deps was born not just as a bespoke model, but from a deep empathy for the real time spent in the field and the culture of enjoying the waterside. Also, based on the brand's activity theme of 'delivering clean water', a portion of sales is returned to water projects. They are committed to manufacturing that protects rich waterside environments, such as adopting recycled and vegan materials in products.
