KEEN brings TYAKASHA’s playful character universe to the Howser III Slide, reworking the relaxed slip-on in a single mismatched “Virids/Mediterranea” colorway. Inspired by TYAKASHA mascots Mr. Green and Oring, the pair splits its palette between a vivid forest green and an icy Mediterranean blue, with each foot taking on a different base color.
Both uppers are finished in a nubby, fleece-like textile that gives the shoe an especially soft and tactile appearance, while warm brown trim frames the collar, toe and lower edge. Bright orange bungee loops add another pop of color, and embroidered character patches – including a green figure on the blue shoe and a black cloud-like motif on the green – reinforce the asymmetrical, cartoon-driven treatment.
Beneath the vibrant uppers, the Howser III retains the silhouette’s comfort, pairing its roomy slip-on shape with an adjustable bungee closure and a substantial rubber outsole for everyday grip. The brown outsole and toe bumper visually ground the brighter uppers, while the plush brown lining continues the cozy material story around the interior.
