Footwear brand KEEN and New York label Collina Strada introduced their new partnership at New York Fashion Week with a preview of two limited-edition Fall 2026 styles. The collaboration reimagines silhouettes from KEEN’s Targhee and Jasper collections, combining the footwear brand’s performance foundation with Collina Strada’s fashion perspective.
FALL WINTER 2026 WOMENSWEAR
Hillary Taymour, founder of Collina Strada, drew inspiration from transformation. She explored how a utilitarian shoe can shift into a femininely fashion-forward object. Botanical embellishments, lace accents, and surreal forms guide the designs while maintaining the comfort and durability associated with KEEN. Taymour described the goal as creating a shoe that feels part sculpture, part sneaker, and part fantasy, while leaving what she calls a conscious footprint.
Taymour applied her history of mindful collections to the Targhee EXP hiking boot and the Jasper Rocks sneaker. She infused KEEN’s rugged performance identity with satin-like uppers, lace, and playful plaids and florals. Both styles carry a vegan upper and a 100 percent recycled lining. KEEN integrates its signature comfort and durability for long-lasting wear and includes natural odor control in each pair.
Nicks Ericsson, KEEN Chief Marketing Officer, emphasized the shared values between the two brands. He described the collaboration as merging KEEN’s consciously created footwear innovation with Collina Strada’s upcycled and responsibly made designs. He also noted how Taymour transformed two core KEEN icons into pieces that feel spirited and grounded.
The Targhee EXP Collina Strada Boot retails for $225 USD. The design features a premium satin-like vegan upper inspired by Victorian boots from the mid-1800s and a 100 percent recycled lining. A heel-capture system secures the foot for stability on varied terrain, and a medial side zip allows easy entry. An oversized rosette adds a dimensional floral detail, and KEEN’s Eco Anti-Odor technology uses natural probiotics that support human health and the environment.
The Jasper Rocks Collina Strada Sneaker retails for $200 USD. It also features a premium satin-like vegan upper inspired by Victorian boots from the mid-1800s and a 100 percent recycled lining. A translucent rubber wrap references climbing footwear while the outsole flexes with the foot and provides added protection. A removable rosette detaches by unlacing through the shoelace. The sneaker also incorporates Eco Anti-Odor technology with natural probiotics.
The limited-edition KEEN x Collina Strada Fall 2026 collection will launch globally in October 2026 in women’s sizing on keenfootwear.com and collinastrada.com, along with select retailers worldwide.
