KEEN and Hiking Patrol have partnered once again to unveil the 'Hyperport H2 Sandal,' a lightweight, marine-inspired footwear hybrid designed for both urban wear and coastal exploration. Available in 'Algae Green' and 'Okenia Pink,' the sandal takes visual inspiration from marine ecosystems, echoing the colors and textures found between low and high tide. The result is a product that celebrates the hidden beauty of nature while maintaining functionality for everyday adventures.
In line with KEEN’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, the Hyperport H2 is constructed using PFAS-free materials, emphasizing environmental responsibility. The design recently earned a 2024 ISPO Award and incorporates thoughtful performance features, including "injected foam midsoles that provide all-day comfort, Aquagrip outsoles for reliable traction in wet conditions, and eco anti-odor control for lasting freshness."
According to Wai Tsui, founder of Hiking Patrol, this second collaboration continues their shared focus on outdoor functionality and thoughtful design.
