Keen revolutionized the footwear industry with the development of sandals with toe protection. If you like fashion and the outdoors, you will immediately recognize the name Keen.
The brand's famous "UNEEK" will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year. To celebrate this milestone, a three-day event will be held at "THE ICEBERG" in Harajuku from April 19 (Fri.) to 21 (Sun.), and we will introduce some of the details.
. Lined up at the exhibition are upcycled works made from "Unique" sample shoes with two cords and one sole woven together.
. These are created by the creators of NewMake Labo, a fashion community that aims to make recycling-oriented fashion a reality.
A total of 10 pieces are to be placed, with catchy colors and a blend of the author's originality and the "unique" identity that seamlessly connects fashion and the outdoors.
. and even life-size art using "uniques".
This is a joint work by YUJI NAKATA, a stylist and creative director, and mobu, a prop maker and space designer who creates highly original props for spaces such as "SuperZoo" in Hatagaya, which exhibits and sells toys, sundries, fixtures, and other items.
In addition, the venue will be decorated with innovative ideas, such as a tree objet d'art that bears the fruit of the archives of the past 10 years. In addition to the exhibition, there will be participatory workshops and a café for both adults and children to enjoy.
Uniqueness" is the star of this event, which has been sublimated as art. The event is open to all, so if you are in the area, please go visit with your family and friends.
