Portland-based footwear brand KEEN has marked its 20th anniversary by remixing its famous Newport silhouette for Summer 2023. Designed to resonate with urban explorers, the Newport H2 Monochrome collection looks to add a versatile and aesthetically-driven touch to the modern day wardrobe.
Coming in three sophisticatedly muted colourways, including “Steel Grey”, “Safari Fawn” and “Triple Black”, the commemorative collection has been made with durability and minimal environmental impact in mind. Boasting a microfibre footbed which conforms for personalised comfort and a rubber toe for protection during adventures in-and-out of the water, each sandal has been built to last, ensuring that wearers can confidently embark on their daily adventures without compromising on comfort or style.
To bring the release to life, KEEN has partnered with Outsiders Design Studio to create an awe-inspiring shoot with an ethereal nature that embodies the metropolitan allure and adaptability of the Newport hybrid silhouette. Set against the backdrop of France’s Calanques National Park’s salt flats, home to a unique ecosystem teeming with pink flamingos and vibrant algae, the images demonstrate the Newport H2’s versatility and amphibious nature, highlighting its ability to seamlessly transition from city streets to natural landscapes.
