Today marks the anticipated launch of the KEEN x Études Studio collaboration, a striking reimagination of KEEN’s iconic Newport sandal for Spring-Summer 2025. This partnership bridges the gap between functional outdoor footwear and the avant-garde aesthetic of Parisian fashion house Études Studio, resulting in a design that is both utilitarian and expressive.
KEEN, known for its thoughtful and purpose-driven approach to footwear, brings its expertise in durability and comfort, while Études Studio infuses the sandal with its signature contemporary minimalism. The result? A seamless blend of rugged practicality and artistic refinement, embodying the shared ethos of both brands.
Form and Function
This collaboration extends into an artistic exploration of movement. Partnering with renowned videographer Grégoire Dyer, KEEN and Études Studio have created a visual narrative that captures the choreographic language of the body. The campaign, set against a minimalist backdrop inspired by the white cube and stripped-down domestic interiors, is directed by movement artist Pauline Lavogez. The imagery presents the human body in a suspended state, hovering between control and surrender, mirroring the delicate balance that the Newport sandal strikes between structure and fluidity.
