Never not original, for two decades, the KEEN Newport sandal has been following trails instead of trends. Offering limitless originality, timeless functionality and endless comfort, the legendary sandal is still KEEN’s number one best seller across the globe. Built to last and consciously created for minimal impact, this unapologetically comfortable hybrid has been loved and loathed, has divided and united, firmly earning its place as a cultural icon in the outdoor hall of fame.
Back In 2003, KEEN stepped in to the global outdoor market with just one item - the original Newport, a revolutionary sandal, featuring show-stopping looks with hybrid performance and unlike anything the industry had seen before. From the simple question of ‘can a sandal protect your toes’, the Newport sandal set KEEN on a path of design innovation and a pioneering product development ethos that has led it to become the global icon that it is today. Powered by 20 years of fan adventures, KEEN commemorates this celebration of originality with reimagined, limited edition colours for SS23 alongside fan favourite patterns and editions. The Newport’s durable frame and versatile design language allow this collection to be the ideal choice for vagabonds and adventurers, trendsetters and tastemakers, seeking a multi-purpose shoe that provides out-of-the-box comfort and reliable performance and protection, proven to stand the test of time.
Heading up the pack, KEEN proudly showcase three limited edition Newport H2 Monochrome models (£100) in a muted, sophisticated palette of Steel Grey, Safari and Fawn, sure to be a hit in urban environments. Functional and supremely comfortable with a roomy toe box, this hybrid is crafted with a quick-drying adjustable webbed upper and KEEN’s distinctive, rubber toe bumper and EVA midsole for incredible cushioning and protection with every step. A bungee cord closure system gives a secure fit, whilst a high traction rubber outsole with razor siping keeps you grounded on a range of terrains from tarmac to trail. As with all models in the Newport Family, the Monochrome editions are equipped with KEEN’s all-natural Eco Anti-Odor treatment, keeping feet smelling sweet all summer long without the use of harmful chemicals or biocides.
Bold, playful and sure to add some serious feel good vibes into your summer, KEEN present three fabulous new limited-edition tie-dye models in the Newport H2 for men and women. Fjord Blue, Fawn and Magnet editions accompany the classic retro Raya Black & Original Rainbow patterns, for a kaleidoscope of summer styling possibilities. Whichever model you choose you’ll be set for any adventure, with quick drying linings, EVA insole with luxurious arch support for all day comfort and super cushioned EVA midsole. A secure fit lace capture system and non-marking rubber outsole will keep you grounded wherever warm weather wanderings take you.
Other classic colourways for men and women for SS23 include the popular wardrobe staples of Navy, Black, Brindle and Raven, plus no less than nineteen, definitive colour options for Children, from tots sizes up to Youth size UK 5.
