Embracing the less is more movement, KEEN has officially taken their innovative approach to footwear and applied it to the minimalist frontier. With the introduction of the new KEEN CNX collection, KEEN brings their unique style and fresh thinking to lightweight footwear while never losing sight of the traditional KEEN fit and protection. Think of it as minimalist footwear with a KEEN flare.

Whether it’s freedom of movement, or a pair of shoes to keep stowed for when bare isn’t possible, consider the Tunari your getaway from ordinary shoe. Lightweight with a low heel drop and light internal support, the Tunari puts your foot in a more natural position and eliminates the bulky feeling caused by traditional, heavily cushioned hikers or trail running shoes. The result? A durable and versatile minimalist multi-sport shoe ready to help tackle all of your Spring and Summer adventures.
