KEEN has joined forces with Henrik Vibskov for a SS26 UNEEK collection, delivering a highly structural update to the brand’s signature woven footwear line. Returning to the intricate corded silhouette, the collaborative capsule focuses strictly on functional design and bold color blocking across multiple specialized models.
At the core of the SS26 delivery is the UNEEK 360, a silhouette defined by its comprehensive, foot-wrapping construction. This specific model is offered in dedicated men’s and women’s sizing, arriving in a two-tone “Brindle/Scarlet Ibis” colorway that deliberately highlights the complexity of the woven upper. By utilizing contrasting cords, the design emphasizes the technical architecture of the shoe, blending natural earth tones with sharp, high-visibility accents.
Complementing the 360 variation is the all-gender UNEEK Leather model. Shifting the visual focus, the LEA introduces two distinct new palettes to the collaborative catalog: a striking “Green Spring” and a softer “Tangerine Cream.” Across both the 360 and Leather silhouettes, the design language remains strictly grounded in KEEN’s utilitarian framework, utilizing the interlocking system to provide an adaptive fit while acting as a tactile canvas for Henrik Vibskov’s eccentric color applications.
Henrik Vibskov said in a statement, “When I got asked by KEEN to do a collab, I instantly thought it could be nice to add a disc-formed circle into the whole grid, to give the shoe a new minimal shape, while still keeping the DNA and playing around with new materials and colours”
“We wanted to explore how far we could push the UNEEK design while staying true to its DNA,” added Rachel Treinen, Product Merchandising Director EMEA. “Henrik brings a unique perspective that challenges expectations and creates something truly different.”
