The KEEN Jasper KM Lite has arrived with an American build that’s both responsibly made and lightweight by design. First introduced in 2008 as the brand’s climbing-inspired outdoor sneaker, the Jasper now has a refreshed look that delivers sleek style without compromising on comfort or quality. Most noticeably, the uppers have been smoothed with discreet stitching while the heel counter is satisfyingly streamlined into the midsole. It’s a subtle shift, but one that quietly ushers the Jasper from trail staple to a pair that’s just as at home in the city as it is off-grid.For men, the Jasper KM comes in three versatile colorways: Canteen/Black; Khaki/Birch; Black/Steel Grey, while for women, colorways include Granite Green/Black; Cameo Rose/Black; Plaza Taupe/Bitch; Brindle/Birch. Furthermore, the women’s model will be joined by a Mary Jane-inspired variant, the Jasper KM Lite MJ. The dynamic lineup provides options that expand how the silhouette can be worn, from day-to-day utility to more styled, expressive looks.As a follow-up to the KEEN Made Classics collection unveiled in April, KEEN Made Originals arrives this May, dialing in on one of the brand’s most beloved silhouettes. With collaborative variants emerging from Engineered Garments, Hiking Patrol, 18 East and Gramicci in recent years, the Jasper has slowly but surely taken up a spot among gorpcore favourites, and it’s only getting better.
