The ever-sprawling genre of reality television has made one thing readily apparent; one of America’s favorite pastimes is customizing, modifying and just plain tinkering with anything and everything. Now, thanks to the new KEEN custom program, you’ve got the opportunity to customize America’s favorite sandal.
Unbridled Customization…
Ten years ago, KEEN revolutionized footwear with the introduction of the original hybrid Newport sandal. Now, the brand that changed the rules of the game is at it once again. Courtesy of the new KEEN Custom website, KEEN has unleashed unbridled customization upon their legions of fans offering the opportunity to personalize the iconic sandal that started it all.
Just how detailed is this customization? Each piece of the sandal, from outsole to laces, can be customized — including the individual webbing straps, bungee laces, stitching, footbed and more.
With more than 80 colors to choose from and 65 million possible sandal color combinations, you can create a sandal as vibrant as Punky Brewster’s wardrobe, or as understated but unique as our own blue-hued H2’s.
But don’t just take our word for it, check out some of the custom designs from KEEN fans here.
Once designed, the custom KEEN kicks ship directly from the factory to your doorstep in about two to three weeks… not bad for a custom job eh? Your completely customized Newport H2 sandals arrive ready and willing to withstand the abuse of saltwater, slick rock and abandoned fire trails.
The custom KEEN Newport H2 sandals retail for $130 and are available for both men and women. Admittedly the $130 price tag will take a fairly substantial bite out of your gear cash, but for those looking to create a sandal as unique as their adventures, it’s well worth the price.
Bottom Line…
Classic KEEN in you own customized style. That’s what they call a win-win.
