KEEN

The Origins of KEEN

Founded in 2003 in Portland, Oregon, KEEN was born with the mission of creating products that could inspire people to enjoy the outdoors. Infused with the adventurous spirit of its founders, the brand is committed to designing products that foster connection with nature and promote an active and healthy lifestyle.

KEEN's core values ​​include innovation, sustainability, and respect for the environment. The brand strives to use eco-friendly materials in the manufacturing of its products and supports environmental conservation initiatives worldwide.

In 2009, Keen established its inaugural factory in the United States, complementing its existing facilities in Canada and Thailand to provide a portion of each season's supply.

KEEN’s style

Inspired by functionality, KEEN pioneered a revolutionary concept of hybrid sandals tailored for outdoor adventures. Its first model, the Newport, has reigned as the brand's top-seller for numerous years, defining both the functional prowess and aesthetic excellence of the brand.

This new functionality, which implied a new aesthetic, attracted attentionfrom very different places to its origins, and in recent years models such as the KEEN Uneek have been the basis for collaborations with Hyke, Mita, Hiking Patrol, or Engineered Garments.
