【Keen】 Focus on the Iriomote wildcat pattern! New charity goods tackling "environment"

Keen has released new charity goods for the Iriomote Island project "Us 4 IRIOMOTE." The lineup includes cute T-shirts and sandals featuring Iriomote wildcats. This could also be a good opportunity to think about environmental issues.

While considering environmental issues, a new style of travel is also proposed

Us 4 IRIOMOTE is a project that aims to pass on the rich nature and culture of Iriomote Island in Okinawa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, into tomorrow. The project name embodies the sentiment of each of us "Us" thinking about and acting on what we can do.

Additionally, a new travel style themed on ethical travel is proposed. A portion of the proceeds from charity goods will be donated, with the designs created by artist Yu Nagaba.

Sandals designed with various creatures from Iriomote Island

The "SHANTI ARTS" from Freedom Clog features prints of Iriomote wildcats and other creatures from Iriomote Island on the upper part. The colors have been adjusted for the design to stand out.

The outsole rubber is glow-in-the-dark, shining at night and providing a gentle brightness that won't startle the surroundings in nature.

With a lightweight upper formed in a mold that wraps gently around the foot, and practical features like Eco Anti-odor treatment, which is antimicrobial and odor-resistant, this product excels in usability. It also uses non-marking rubber for the outsole, making it recommended for indoor use as well.
