The Tongass is our last largest and mostly in tact rainforest in our country, Jerry Garcia s daughter Trixie tells
Billboard. The Trump administration had relaxed the laws about building roads there. Roads lead to resources, and there are all these people hungry to mine. Keeping it intact is actually a greater benefit to us collectively in the long term, she continues. It’s a huge carbon capture, it’s home to many varieties of salmon, bears, glaciers, everything. As stewards of this planet and with all that we know now, it’s just unconscionable that we allow that to be pillaged the way we have the rest of the planet.
The new collection features three pairs of shoes, each incorporating different pieces of Garcia’s art. The highlight is a line of individually-numbered KEEN Newport Sandals (seen above and available here), which feature the singer’s “Junglescape” print. Only 506 pairs were made, and each feature a different variation of the watercolor-style print, making this a true collector’s piece for footwear fans and Deadheads alike.
A women’s version of the Newport Sandal is available here. Only 496 pairs of the women’s sandal are being manufactured.

The other two silhouettes include the KEEN Yogui sandal, which is a clog-style sandal designed for gardening or camping. The grippy sole makes these durable enough to wear on a light hike as well. The Yogui features Garcia’s “New York at Night” print, which pays homage to the bright lights of the Big Apple.
