Next up is the “UNEEK O3” from the “UNEEK” series! This item is designed to be more sneaker-like!
This model enhances the “UNEEK” with added cushioning and lightweight features!
The design retains the woven look of the original “UNEEK,” but with a heel and a thicker sole, making it look more like a sneaker!
The flexibility of the upper with two cords remains the same, but the addition of a heel allows for a more secure fit!
Regarding the sole, while the original “UNEEK” had a slightly stiff and firm feel, this model offers a softer, more cushioned feel. You can feel the difference in softness just by pressing with your fingers!
The outsole does not have the cuts like the original “UNEEK,” instead, it has rubber only in necessary areas, ensuring slip resistance and making it lighter by 40g, making it feel significantly lighter when worn. (The black parts are rubber)

③YOGEEZ『¥9,130 (tax included)』
KEEN’s long-selling clog sandal “YOGUI” has finally been updated, and the new model is here!
The new YOGUI features improved cushioning and customizability, making it even better suited for more people’s feet than before!
It also comes with KEEN’s signature “Toe Guard”, maintaining the iconic YOGUI look!
The standout feature of this new model is the striking part on the instep that represents KEEN’s “K”!
This part is designed to be removable, and the product comes with shoelaces and an instruction sheet for attaching them, allowing you to use it as a lace-up sandal. This makes it easy to adjust the fit!
Besides the method described on the included sheet, you can come up with your own ways to attach it, allowing for personal customization!
⑤⑥WAIMEA TG『¥9,900 (tax included)』 & KONA FLIP TG『¥8,800 (tax included)』
Next, we introduce flip-flops (beach sandals)!
Among the flip-flops, these items stand out for their comfort, excellent foot feel, and luxurious appearance!
Previously, beach sandals were often uncomfortable between the toes and flimsy, just good enough to wear. But after trying KEEN’s flip-flops, my perspective changed!
The “KONA FLIP TG” is the one that has a typical flip-flop shape, while the “WAIMEA TG” includes KEEN’s signature “Toe Guard”!
The “WAIMEA TG” protects your toes with the Toe Guard!
If you’ve known KEEN for a long time, you might remember the names “KONA FLIP” and “WAIMEA.”
Previously released as “KONA FLIP H2” and “WAIMEA H2,” they have been reintroduced under the name “TG”! This “TG” stands for “Tageta,” inspired by Japanese traditional wooden sandals.
While the shape remains the same, the upper material has been upgraded from polyester to natural leather, giving them a more luxurious look!
