Hello, this is Seki, the manager of the outdoor shop FITTWO in Ueno, Tokyo.

Today, I’d like to introduce the 2025 Fall/Winter new model from KEEN — the KS MINO.

When you think of KEEN, models like the woven sandal UNEEK and the classic NEWPORT usually come to mind. However, the new KS MINO takes a fresh approach — it’s a sneaker-style model that stands apart from KEEN’s traditional lineup.

While it maintains the functionality you’d expect from an outdoor brand, its sleek and smart design makes it perfect for everyday urban wear as well.

Stylish Design That Works in the City

The KS MINO features a low-cut sneaker design that’s easy to match with everyday outfits.

A bold “K” logo decorates the side, creating a simple yet distinctive look. The eyelets are positioned inward, giving the shoe a clean and uncluttered appearance.

Premium Velour Upper Material

The upper is made from natural velour leather, which has a longer nap than standard suede. This gives it a soft, refined texture with a premium visual finish.

The velour is supple and comfortable from the first wear, molding naturally to your foot. Inside, breathable and quick-drying mesh lining ensures a fresh feel even during long hours of use.

Enhanced Durability with Mudguard

Between the upper and sole, KEEN has added a mudguard. This not only helps block dirt but also increases abrasion resistance for improved durability in outdoor conditions.

Sneaker-Like Comfort

The KS MINO isn’t just about looks — it’s also packed with KEEN’s signature comfort features.

Contoured Fit That Adapts to Your Foot Shape

The footbed uses KEEN’s unique Contoured Fit design, which follows the natural shape of your foot for an ideal balance of comfort and stability.

Its anatomically shaped arch support helps reduce fatigue and prevents instability, making it comfortable even during long walks.

Lightweight, High-Rebound Midsole

The midsole uses a lightweight, high-rebound cushioning material that absorbs shock and delivers sneaker-like comfort.

The thick, resilient insole is removable and washable, allowing you to keep your shoes clean and fresh over time.

Reliable Grip on Any Surface

The outsole features a unique circular lug pattern that offers multi-directional traction, providing a stable grip whether you’re walking in the city or on light trails.

In field tests with other KEEN models using the same sole, we found it delivers excellent traction and stability both on pavement and on uneven ground.

It also features a non-marking sole, so you can wear it indoors without worrying about scuffing floors.

Available in Men’s and Women’s Sizes

The KS MINO is available in sizes for both men and women.

• Men’s: 25.0–28.0, 29.0, 30.0 cm
• Women’s: 22.5–26.0 cm

Perfect for couples or friends who want to match their footwear.

Conclusion｜KEEN’s New Urban Standard: KS MINO

With a classic yet refined look and KEEN’s signature outdoor performance, the KS MINO bridges the gap between outdoor functionality and everyday style.

Lightweight, sneaker-like comfort makes it ideal for city walks or casual outings during the fall and winter seasons. It’s a fresh take on KEEN’s design philosophy — comfortable, functional, and timeless.
