Scene Setting

A late-summer field trip. One lone figure, clipboard in hand, mission uncertain, hikes along a dry forest floor in the Keen Men’s Jasper Zionic in Safari / Sky Captain, feet cushioned by foam, thoughts sharpened by arch support, laces cinched to the toe.

Men’s Jasper Zionic — JAVA/BIRCH

This is the kind of shoe worn by someone who checks topography maps for fun and insists on coffee outside. Blending premium leather with technical ambition, the Jasper Zionic is Keen’s answer to those who hike like they mean it, but would still like their feet to feel good about it. The Java/Birch colorway? Call it utilitarian charm with a polished side of wilderness romance.
