Designed for sailing, loved by kayakers, worn by seemingly 87% of the population of Portland during the summer months, the Keen Newport H2 is a true masterpiece of fusion footwear—combining the best bits of sandals, hiking shoes and maybe even work-boots to create a seriously useful pair of sandals.
Over 30 years after it was first created, it’s still hard to beat as far as do-it-all summer footwear is concerned. Which is why this collaboration with Gramicci (another brand famous for their clever approach to the outdoors), makes so much sense. A classic Keen design meets a whole lot of hemp to make a pair of sandals that’ll get a lot of use.

Head over to Gramicci’s site to grab a pair.
