Lightweight and a low profile for the new innovative waterproof models produced by the brand which this year celebrates its 10th birthday

The recent launch of the new KEEN.CNX collection – lightweight with a low-sole profile and available in stores from Spring 2013 – has prompted KEEN to transfer the same innovative philosophy to a selection of waterproof and year-round models presented in the Trailhead and Boulevard categories. Perfect for adventures on city streets or off the beaten track.

Last season’s successful launch of the KEEN.CNX collection was our first cross-category launch since KEEN’s inception. As we head into fall/winter, we have decided to build on the excitement and on the results obtained, bringing another dimension to KEEN.CNX

says KEEN’s Outdoor Business Unit Direct Jeff Dill.

Available across categories for men, women and kids, KEEN.CNX uses the following technologies to achieve the perfect fit, comfort and classic KEEN protection: Low profile PU midsole, lightweight comfort thanks to the simplified construction of the upper that eliminates layers of material for a better fit; midsole in lightweight and patented PU; integrated, contoured arch for natural underfoot support.

The Fall/Winter 2013 models make use of the KEEN.DRY and KEEN.ZORB technologies for all-season, long lasting comfort. KEEN.DRY is a waterproof and breathable membrane that lets vapour out without letting water in. The KEEN.ZORB technology features a full length foam cushioning system that delivers instant comfort.
