In this limited-edition release, the iconic adventure sandal—renowned for over 20 years—is reimagined with "a durable hemp upper and Gramicci’s signature zig-zag mountain stitching," reflecting both brands’ commitment to sustainability and archival design. Furthermore, the sandal features a roomy toe box, adjustable bungee lacing for a secure fit, and moisture-wicking hemp webbing for enhanced durability. Designed with versatility in mind, it is water-friendly with washable, quick-dry materials and includes a non-marking rubber outsole alongside the signature rubber toe bumper for protection. Additionally, enhanced grip is provided by "razor-thin tread slits for slip resistance on wet surfaces." As with all KEEN footwear, it remains PFAS-free, pesticide-free, and incorporates [eco-friendly odor control](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/targhee-apex), ultimately blending trail-ready performance with environmentally responsible style.
