Bon Iver x Keep Ramos

Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon is probably the least likely person to see on a Grammy advertisement on the side of a bus, but that is a testament to how big this guy has blown up since the band’s last album.  So it’s not really a surprise that he is popping up in unlikely places.  The mixing of musicians, celebrities, and fashion has never been more prevalent than today.  Fortunately for us, this particular collaboration has been more than just for self promotion, as both the band and the shoe company have in common their love of animals – as a portion of the proceeds will go to to benefit the Best Friends Animal Society!

Here, Bon Iver has designed a Ramos shoe in a salmon upper, herringbone heel, and a black fish bone print across the toe.  Right now you can pre-order these at Keep before July 1st for $75, to be shipped in October.

Also, check out this interview with Keep’s Una Kim at Hypebeast.

    I only wish Bon Iver actually loved animals. He’s an “avid hunter,” probably why there is a fish carcass across the shoes.

    Thanks! That is interesting about Bon Iver being a hunter, but I guess that is one of those gray issues whereby one can claim that they love animals and still hunt for food. At the very least, it is better than if he was buying meat from the supermarket right?

    Yeah, that’s fine, but those shoes are fucking horrible.
