Japanese artist Yu Nagaba—celebrated for his minimalist, whimsical illustrations, most notably his iconic Pokémon Eeveelution TCG promo artwork—has teamed up with outdoor footwear and lifestyle brand KEEN for an all-new capsule collection.

About the KEEN x Yu Nagaba Collaboration

The lineup features sandals, T-shirts, bags, and caps adorned with Nagaba’s signature line-drawn charm, spotlighting the biodiversity of Japan’s Iriomote Island. The standout piece? The SHANTI ARTS sandals, showcasing the island’s wildlife with a glow-in-the-dark rubber outsole, lightweight uppers, and a roomy yet protective toe design for all-day comfort.

The collection also includes three graphic tees: one pairing KEEN’s logo with Nagaba’s Iriomote wildcat illustration, another with embroidered island creatures, and a third depicting a local youth playing the Okinawan shamisen alongside a turtle.

Rounding out the drop are a convertible shoulder bag (expanding from compact to spacious) and a nylon cap with an embroidered wildcat silhouette—all designed with both style and adventure in mind.

Notably, the collaboration supports “Us 4 IRIOMOTE,” a charity initiative preserving Iriomote Island’s ecosystem and culture.
