Shoe Palace had released its third collection honoring the iconic artist Keith Haring, making his work accessible to a broader audience. The Shoe Palace x Keith Haring collection will be available on shoepalace.com and at Shoe Palace retail locations, continuing the tradition started with the first collection in 2022.
Keith Haring, born in 1958 in Pennsylvania, showed an early talent for drawing and a passion for pop culture art. He aimed to make his artwork accessible to everyone, a vision embodied by his innovative New York retail store, Pop Shop, which sold items featuring his designs.
Shoe Palace’s new collection features tees, shirts, and shorts adorned with Haring’s distinctive art, crafted to uphold the artist’s standards and legacy. This exclusive collection ensures Haring’s vibrant and socially impactful artwork reaches new generations.
Keith Haring attended the Ivy School of Professional Art in Pittsburgh but soon left to pursue his artistic endeavors independently. His breakthrough came with a solo exhibition at the Pittsburgh Arts and Crafts Center in 1978. Haring tragically died of AIDS-related complications at 31 in 1990, yet his work continues to be celebrated globally in major museums.
Shoe Palace, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2023, has grown to nearly 200 locations across the U.S. and a successful e-commerce platform. Founded by Agob Mersho, who moved his family from Syria to the U.S. in 1978, Shoe Palace has become a trusted name in the industry, partnering with brands like Nike, Jordan, adidas, and New Balance.
The Keith Haring Collection releases exclusively on shoepalace.com and at Shoe Palace retail locations, keeping Haring’s spirit of accessibility and creativity alive.
