KEEN and Collina Strada Team Up for a Dreamy Footwear Collab
Bringing a little bit of punk to gorpcore.
Following a runway preview during New York Fashion Week last month, outdoor shoemaker KEEN and it-girl favorite Collina Strada have officially unveiled their Fall 2026 collection. Blending KEEN’s rugged performance DNA with Collina Strada founder Hillary Taymour’s playful, eco-conscious vision, the two-piece capsule reimagines classic utilitarian silhouettes into wearable art pieces.
The limited-edition release reimagines two of KEEN’s signature silhouettes: the Targhee EXP boot and the Jasper Rocks sneaker. Infusing a “punk-feminine” energy into functional footwear, both styles feature vegan, satin-like uppers inspired by mid-1800s Victorian boots, 100% recycled linings and probiotic-based Eco Anti-Odor control.
The Targhee EXP Collina Strada boot is outfitted with a medial side zip for easy wear and a supportive heel-capture system. The boot is highlighted by an oversized, handmade rosette that adds a distinct Collina Strada touch to KEEN’s gorpcore aesthetic.
Meanwhile, the Jasper Rocks Collina Strada sneaker pairs flexible, climbing-inspired translucent rubber outsoles with playful details like custom plaids, florals and a removable handmade flower attached through the laces.
“Our aim was to make a shoe that portrayed part sculpture, part sneaker, and part fantasy,” says Taymour. “It’s not just about walking through the world — it’s about leaving a beautiful, conscious footprint behind.”
The limited-edition KEEN x Collina Strada Fall 2026 collection is available now on the KEEN and Collina Strada websites and select retailers.
