KEEN and Metalwood Studio Tee Up Golf Footwear Collaboration
KEEN, Inc. (KEEN), maker of original hybrid footwear, and LA-based golf streetwear brand Metalwood Studio have paired up to create the ultimate pre- and post-golf shoes. It’s KEEN’s foray into the golfing world, but it's not the first time golfers have worn KEEN sandals as their après shoe.
“Our partnership with Metalwood came about organically, as the team there had already been wearing KEEN sandals before and after golfing. We love that Metalwood is broadening the scope of golf and making it more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. These are values we share at KEEN.”
The collab collection includes a limited-edition of the Hyperport Clog. The Hyperport Clog is a hyper-light and airy slip-on born from KEEN’s hyper-versatile hybrid sandal that features maximal cushioning and an ultra-grippy sole. The Hyperport Clog in ethically sourced suede, Consciously Created for less impact on the planet.
“Metalwood’s inspiration for the design comes from golf course typography maps as well as reflexology – how the contours of the nervous system relate to our emotions on and off the golf course. The design also features bespoke Metalwood branding.”
This limited-edition Hyperport Clog is available in men’s sizing for £130 / €140 / $160 USD fromwww.keenfootwear.co.uk, www.keenfootwear.com and www.metalwood.studio. The all-gender UNEEK II Convertible is available for $150 USD / €159 at www.keenfootwear.com and www.metalwood.studio.
