KEEN’s Post

We're honored to share that our Hyperport H2 sandal was the recipient of an ISPO Award 2024 - Waterfront 🎉 “This sandal combines enormous versatility with outstanding comfort and very good cushioning. It is completely PFAS-free, underlining KEEN’s commitment to products that are as environmentally friendly as possible.” - ISPO Award jury

Our KEEN Effect Director, Kirsten Blackburn, and Max Romey, our KEEN Impact maker and Chief Watercolor Officer went to D.C. last week! 🎨🤝 Last week KEEN joined The Conservation Alliance - a coalition of over 250 outdoor-inspired brands - to use our business voice to advocate for wild places and outdoor spaces. We met with dozens of congressional offices from both sides of the political aisle, members of the administration, and other decision-makers to talk about specific landscapes from AK to CO and their benefits to people, wildlife, and outdoor recreation.

"...the companies are at opposite geographical poles. Yet value-wise, they couldn’t be more aligned. Sharing the same pillars of community and the outdoors, uniting on the 10-year-old silhouette was a no-brainer." - Sneaker News #UNEEK10

“… an unexpected collaboration from two brands with a shared appreciation for the wondrous natural world—Portland, Oregon footwear brand KEEN and streetwear staple Only NY of, you guessed it, New York City." - Field Mag

“A mainstay of both gorpcore and outdoor culture in the streetwear scene, KEEN has made significant inroads from Japan, where it dominates at events like Fuji Rock festival to high-profile runways in Paris. Similarly, Only NY has embedded itself into the fabric of New York, drawing inspiration from the city’s vibrant culture, the great outdoors as well as the arts.” - HYPEBEAST
