\n\tKeen<\/a> just scheduled its first tee time. The footwear brand is breaking into the golf<\/a> shoe market with the help of Los Angeles-based golf streetwear brand\u00a0Metalwood Studio<\/a>, unveiling a collection offering pre- and post-round shoes.<\/p>\n

\n\tLimited-edition iterations of the Hyperport Clog and Uneek II Convertible, both aiming to provide relaxation and balance, can be found at keenfootwear.com and metalwood.studio. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe former shoe option, priced at $160, is ultra-light and airy, influenced by Keen\u2019s hybrid sandal featuring maximal cushioning and a highly grippy sole. Some of the design elements of the Hyperport Clog include an injected foam sole and Keen Aquagrip rubber helping with traction on wet surfaces.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother versatile shoe, the Uneek II Convertible, priced at $150, is an open-air sneaker with an adjustable heel strap, allowing it to be switched from a shoe to a slide. Among its other features are a lightweight cord upper crafted from 100 percent recycled P.E.T. plastic and a bungee system that can be easily cinched to personalize the fit.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoth shoe options are crafted to reduce environmental impact with the use of ethically sourced suede for the Hyperport Clog and waste-minimizing cords for the Uneek II Convertible.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur partnership with Metalwood came about organically, as the team there had already been wearing Keen sandals before and after golfing,\u201d said Masaki Takagi, Keen\u2019s senior global merchandising director, in a statement. \u201cWe love that Metalwood is broadening the scope of golf<\/a> and making it more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. These are values we share at Keen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Metalwood drew inspiration for the design from golf course typography and reflexology: \u201chow the contours of the nervous system relate to our emotions on and off the golf course,\u201d Metalwood founder Cole Young said in a statement. Bespoke Metalwood branding is featured in the design as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tKeen, which announced it would not raise prices in 2025<\/a> due to tariffs, has been expanding its athletic footprint lately. The brand released its\u00a0first trail running shoe<\/a>, a creation called Seek, which was developed over the course of nearly two years, on July 25.<\/p>\n

\n\tKeen has also counted MadHappy as a collaborator this year, releasing a collection<\/a> that reinvented Keen\u2019s Shanti clog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keen just scheduled its first tee time.
