KEEN x Gramicci Newport Retro Sandal: The Ultimate Hybrid Footwear Collaboration
Get ready for the ultimate fusion of style and performance with the highly anticipated release of the KEEN x Gramicci Newport Retro Sandal. This dynamic collaboration between two iconic brands is set to hit stores on April 23, and you won’t want to miss out on this must-have footwear.
With a retail price of $150 USD, the Newport Retro Sandal is a versatile and durable option for any outdoor adventure. Combining the best features of a water sandal and a hiking shoe, this hybrid silhouette is designed to take you from the trail to the water with ease.
The sandal features a hemp upper, known for its strength and sustainability, and is lined with Gramicci’s signature zig-zag mountain stitching. The adjustable bungee fit ensures a comfortable and secure fit, while the slip-resistant grip and waterproof design make it perfect for any terrain.
But that’s not all – the Newport Retro Sandal is also PFAS-free and pesticide-free, making it a conscious choice for both your feet and the planet. And according to Kohei Yamazaki, KEEN’s chief designer at the brand’s Tokyo Design Center, this collaboration is about more than just creating a stylish shoe.
“Newport in hemp is a masterpiece that has been released a few times in the past and was a big hit, especially in Japan,” says Yamazaki. “It’s even more special now to bring it back with Gramicci as part of their HEMP capsule collection. We’re both dipping into our archives, looking back to take a step forward for the planet.”
Don’t miss your chance to snag a pair of these highly coveted sandals. They are available for purchase at KEEN and Gramicci stores. Trust us, your feet (and the planet) will thank you.
