One of the standout features is its excellent storage capacity and easy organization despite its compact size.
Although it has a small 3L capacity, it comes equipped with a total of 10 pockets, allowing you to neatly organize your wallet, smartphone, keys, gadgets, and other small items. This keeps the inside of the bag organized and makes it easy to quickly access what you need.
Another great feature is the wide-opening design unique to the PAC series (accordion gusset structure), which makes it easy to see and access your belongings. Even as a small bag, it’s designed for stress-free everyday use.

Featuring the PAC series’ signature accordion gusset design, the pouch opens wide for excellent visibility and smooth access to your belongings.
Despite its compact size, it is thoughtfully designed for everyday convenience.

A high-performance recovery sandal designed for everything from post-outdoor recovery to everyday casual wear.
Available in colors ranging from classic black to fresh summer-inspired tones.
The price is ¥11,000 (tax included).
Recommended Features
The biggest highlight is its excellent recovery performance that helps reduce stress on your feet.
The sandal features a highly cushioned EVA midsole that absorbs impact while walking, gently supporting tired feet after long walks or exercise.
The footbed is designed to match the natural shape of your foot, providing a natural fit and stable comfort.
Even though it’s a flip-flop style sandal, it still offers a surprisingly secure fit.
Compared to the previous model, the new “RE-Activ Flip II” features a slightly wider fit for a more relaxed and comfortable feel.
The reduced tightness allows it to fit a wider range of foot shapes more comfortably.
The outsole uses grippy rubber material, providing reliable traction on wet surfaces and city streets for safer walking.
The simple and minimal design also makes them easy to incorporate into everyday outfits, not just outdoor scenes. Lightweight and easy to carry, they also work great as travel or camping sub-shoes.
【KEEN】UNEEK 360
Basic Information
Based on KEEN’s popular “UNEEK” model, the UNEEK 360 is a next-generation evolution with a more sneaker-like feel.
It’s a hybrid shoe that combines the openness of a sandal with the stability of a sneaker.
Available in colors such as black and white.
The price is ¥24,200 (tax included).
Recommended Features
The standout feature is its unique cord construction that wraps around the foot 360 degrees. The two-cord structure combined with the knit upper flexibly adapts to your foot movements, providing a secure fit without feeling too tight.
Compared to the original UNEEK, this model has been updated with more sneaker-like stability and comfort.
The improved design makes it easier to walk in and ideal for long hours of walking or everyday city wear.
The upper uses a knit construction made with recycled materials, achieving a comfortable balance of breathability and lightweight performance. Even in hot weather, the shoe stays breathable and comfortable like a sandal.
In addition, the shoe is made using a structure that minimizes the use of adhesives, making it an environmentally conscious and sustainable model. The design also considers easier disassembly and material recycling.
While maintaining UNEEK’s signature unique look, the sneaker-inspired silhouette makes it easy to style not only for outdoor activities but also for everyday urban fashion.

They are truly a pair that’s “easy to wear and easy to carry.”
