KEEN UNVEILS shoes factory outlet ITS �FASTEST, LIGHTEST TRAIL SHOE� THE ZIONIC COLLECTION
KEEN is back with a new flagship model: the Zionic Collection. The shoemaker dubbed it as its �fastest and lightest� trail shoe to date with the series available in two silhouettes: the mid-height hiking boot and a hiking shoe.
The new designs bridge the gap between performance sneakers and actual hiking shoes. They are lined with 100% recycled PET mesh and feature a lightweight foam midsole for excellent responsiveness. Each boasts a full-length nylon plate that minimizes energy loss in each stride and comes in either waterproof or non-waterproof constructions.�
Keeping in mind weight as a factor in running, KEEN removed a few ounces from the Zionic Collection so they don�t weigh you down. The waterproof hiking shoe weighs 12.35 ounces while the Zionic Hiking Boot at 16.93 ounces. They have�KEEN.DRY�waterproof membrane underneath the ripstop mesh upper, which has been treated with PFAS-free water repellence. The non-waterproof version comes in a low-profile vented Speed Hikers that weighs 10.41 oz. per shoe.�
Aside from the weight, the look is also a departure for the brand. The giant rubber toe cap on the Targhee III is visibly missing and the shoelaces are more similar to that of a running shoe than a hiking boot.� They are sportier than the brand�s other hiking options with stylized soles and sleeker uppers. They also come with a contoured fit inside and a removable PU insole designed to keep your heel locked in place when moving.
To keep you grounded and pounding forward, KEEN�s Zionic Collection features lower-profile 4mm multi-directional lugs. Then there�s the durable yet lightweight higher-traction TPU outsole.�
