Andrew Rizzo The KEEN we know today isn’t quite the same brand we knew a few years ago. The eco-conscious, Portland-based outdoor label still makes its bread and butter in performance-focused footwear, but recent years have seen several KEEN icons embraced by a more lifestyle-oriented, city-dwelling crowd, none more so than the Jasper and UNEEK.
KEEN made its biggest and most notable lifestyle push earlier this year, fully leaning into the hybrid loafer trend with the UNEEK Loafer WK. Following a black style that sold out in under 48 hours, KEEN is circling back for round two with a “Cordovan” colorway on December 18th.
Like dress shoes of the same name, the “Cordovan” UNEEK Loafer is crafted from premium, polished dark brown leather. The upper borrows from the UNEEK sandal, featuring a hand-stitched and woven forefoot crafted using classic shoemaking techniques. Underfoot, a large curved midsole supports forward propulsion for an easy, comfortable ride, whether that’s moving block to block or heading from meeting to meeting.
The KEEN UNEEK Loafer WK “Cordovan” is a limited release, and each pair is individually numbered. Pairs drop in unisex sizing on December 18th for $200 USD via the KEEN website and select retailers.
