Madhappy has teamed up with KEEN for a fresh and whimsical take on an archival favorite: the Malibu Mary Jane. Reimagining the original all-terrain silhouette through a youthful and optimistic lens, the collaboration merges outdoor cues with feminine, retro aesthetics.
The collaborative shoe features a multi-layered upper, which juxtaposes a playful two-tone ripstop nylon plaid pattern with refined premium suede overlays. Arriving in two colorways fittingly named “Rose Plaid” and “Grass Plaid,” the former boasts a bright and energetic pink-and-white combination, while the latter arrives in an earthy, picnic-ready green palette.
Beneath the upper, the shoe prioritizes all-day support with a springy, dual-density foam midsole, a contoured arch, and a soft cotton terrycloth lining. Grounding the design is a higher-traction rubber outsole equipped with a multi-directional lug pattern, ensuring reliable grip across unpredictable surfaces while maintaining an effortlessly chic visual profile.
