Combat Flip Flops Joins Spartan for Merchandise Collaboration

September 4, 2025

BOSTON, MASS. (September 4, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — Spartan, the world’s leading endurance sports and extreme wellness brand, is proud to announce a new partnership with Combat Flip Flops, a veteran-owned company known for its mission-driven approach to business and rugged, purpose-built footwear and apparel.

As a key pillar of the partnership, Combat Flip Flops and Spartan will collaborate to release co-branded Spartan Floperator flip flops, which will be available for sale at all U.S. Spartan events at the official merchandise tent, on the official Spartan website, and the Combat Flip Flops website.

The Floperator isn’t your average pair of flip flops. These flip flops are engineered with a fully contoured, zero-drop sole for maximum grip, support, and all-day comfort. Whether you’re trekking through rough terrain, crossing rivers, or chasing your trifecta, these sandals are designed to handle whatever comes next.

Spartans will have the choice of two floperator styles: a special edition black model with a red and white Spartan branded velcro patch, or Combat Flip Flop’s best-selling Coyote colorway: tan and black with a black Spartan branded velcro patch.

Like Spartans, Combat Flip Flops are tough, made for performance, and built for the long haul.

“This partnership is about more than just great gear — it’s about shared values,” said Brian Cox, General Manager of Partnerships at Spartan. “Combat Flip Flops is built by veterans and supports freedom through business, education, and empowerment. Their mission aligns perfectly with what Spartan represents — grit, resilience, and respect for those who serve.”

“The willingness to tackle any obstacle and overcome any challenge is a fundamental tenet of Combat Flip Flops. The brand is more than footwear—it’s a mindset,” said Donald Lee, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Combat Flip Flops. “Teaming up with Spartan Race means joining forces with a community that embraces challenge, leads with heart, and never quits. This partnership enables our mission to reach like-minded individuals around the world that operate with the same determination to improve themselves, community, and planet.”

The Spartan and Combat Flip Flops co-branded Floperator line will be released in August, giving racers the opportunity to soak up the last few months of “flip flop season.”

Grab a pair on-site at the official Spartan merchandise tent, online at www.Spartan.com, or CombatFlipFlops.com.
