The KEEN x Highsnobiety Jasper Sneaker in the Black-Gum colorway combines the design elements of a climbing shoe with the versatility of an urban sneaker. The upper is made of leather sourced from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries, which helps reduce chemical use and protect water resources. The rubber outsole provides flexible traction, similar to that of climbing shoes while offering added comfort for urban environments. This sneaker features a Contoured Fit that allows toes to naturally splay, enhancing comfort during extended wear. The flexible rubber outsole wraps around the bottom of the shoe for added protection while maintaining flexibility with each step. KEEN emphasizes sustainable practices by incorporating materials such as webbing made from post-consumer plastic bottles and outsoles created from agricultural waste, reflecting a commitment to reducing environmental impact.
