KEEN, maker of original hybrid footwear, and Snow Peak, the Japanese outdoor lifestyle brand known for its refined, high-quality gear, have announced the launch of their first collaboration model: the KEEN HYPERPORT H2.
KEEN and Snow Peak share a common philosophy of sustainable manufacturing and a belief in creating products that inspire people to enjoy time in nature. Brought together by the shared desire to offer more opportunities for people to connect with the outdoors, the two brands have come together for their first collaboration. Designed to move seamlessly from city streets to the campsite, the model bridges everyday life and the natural world, fostering a closer connection to nature.
The collaboration model, HYPERPORT H2, is based on KEEN’s HYPERPORT, featuring a maximal midsole and high-grip outsole. Engineered for versatility, it adapts across a wide range of environments—from trails to urban settings, and from waterside activities to outdoor leisure settings—delivering all-day comfort and high performance.
In 2003, KEEN created the ultimate adventure sandal, the Newport, by combining the support and protection of a hiking shoe with the freedom and comfort of a water sandal. Two decades later, KEEN reimagined its original hybrid sandal with a maximal midsole and high-grip outsole for all-day comfort and performance from street to water to trail. The Hyperport, a 2024 ISPO award winner, is designed for a life that moves between worlds.
The collection includes an all-black adult model and a kids’ model inspired by the colors of Snow Peak’s iconic LED lantern, Hozuki Lantern, named after the traditional Japanese ground cherry plant. Design details include a logo patch featuring the asterisk motif on the upper and a Snow Peak corporate logo pin label at the heel.
A special campaign film has also been created to express the spirit of this collaboration. Through the story of a family camping together, the film portrays the product’s functionality and the warmth of time spent in nature in a simple and serene tone. It reflects the shared values of craftsmanship and a love for the outdoors, evoking the comfort and sense of freedom that comes from stepping away from daily life and immersing oneself in the natural world.
Through this collaboration, KEEN and Snow Peak aim to provide richer nature experiences and to continue supporting more people in discovering and embracing the world of the outdoors.
Key features of the Hyperport include:
- Airy cushioning: Injected foam midsole is extra thick yet lighter for a more cushioned experience.
- Maximized grip: High-grip zones in KEEN Aquagrip rubber for better traction on wet surfaces.
- Roomy toe box: Generous space across the forefoot for toes to spread out.
- KEEN.PROTECT toe protection: The rubber toe bumper that’s been keeping toes safe since 2003.
- Pull-on easy: Stretchy mesh heel and pull tab for an easy on, secure fit.
- Easy-cinch bungee: Cinches up for a just-right fit.
- Water-ready upper: Washable webbing and quick-dry lining are made to get wet.
- Pesticide-free odor control: Eco Anti-Odor fights foot funk with natural probiotics that are safe for human health and the environment.
This limited-edition Hyperport will be available starting March 13, priced at $130 USD for women’s and men’s sizes and $67 USD for kids’ sizes. The collection will be available through KEEN and Snow Peak’s official retail and online channels, with kids’ sizes offered exclusively through KEEN.
