KEEN Custom is a new program from sport sandal manufacturer KEEN Footwear, allowing shoppers to choose from more than 80 colors (that’s 65 million possible sandal color combinations) to design their very own, very unique Newport H2 sandal.
Ten years ago, KEEN answered the question “Can a sandal protect the toes?” with the original Newport, a strappy sandal with a big toe bumper. The unusual looking footwear caught on with water sport enthusiasts, and forever changed the sport sandal industry. A sandal with a toe cap may no longer be unique, but the KEEN Customs certainly are.
“KEEN revolutionized footwear with the introduction of the original hybrid Newport sandal. Now fans can make our number one style their own,” said Christa DePoe, vice president of global online and retail at KEEN.
Shoppers can customize the men’s and women’s Newport H2 on keenfootwear.com. Each piece of the shoe from outsole to laces can be customized, including the individual webbing straps, bungee laces, stitching, footbed and more.
Once designed, these colorful sandals ship directly from factory to fans in about three weeks. They retail for $130.
DePoe added, “We look forward to seeing the unique looks and great color combinations our fans come up with!”
