Scene Setting

Morning breaks over a gravel switchback. The KEEN Jasper Zionic in Java / Cream Gold moves quickly—brushed suede catching the light, laces pulled tight. It’s built for the long way up, but looks perfectly at ease at the café afterward.

Product Description

The KEEN Jasper Zionic – Java / Cream Gold carries the performance of a fast and light hiking shoe with the tailored composure of brushed suede. Crag heritage, refined for daily mileage. Agile underfoot. Clean through the collar. A shoe that doesn’t raise its voice yet handles steep terrain without complaint.

Built with KEEN’s Contoured Fit, it follows the natural shape of the foot for a comfortably snug feel. Tongue-to-toe lacing lets you fine-tune the fit with climbing-shoe precision. Underfoot, a resilient foam insole with arch support cushions long days, paired with a stability shank for lightweight structure.

The higher-traction rubber outsole features 4mm multi-directional lugs, ready for loose gravel, damp pavement, and the occasional shortcut through the park. KEEN.PROTECT toe bumper adds insurance up front. The leather upper comes from an LWG-certified tannery, and Eco Anti-Odour technology keeps things fresh the natural way.

This is the hiker that keeps a low profile—until the trail turns technical.
