KEEN has unveiled a new collaboration with Kyoto-based Loftman, taking inspiration from the Honbo Garden North Garden at the Tokukuji Temple in the city. Taking on KEEN’s much-loved UNEEK silhouette, the collaboration references the garden’s color palette across its sandal-meets-sneaker upper.

The colorway is a nod to the moss and stone slabs that run in a checkerboard pattern across the northern quarter of the garden. These slaps are also referenced on the shoe’s footbed and an additional set of laces, both of which sport a checkerboard print in a similar color palette.

The Loftman x KEEN UNEEK is available now via the KEEN web store.
