Explore Collection

The Women’s Explore collection offered a synthetic, light hiker that built off of the Terradora’s success. The collection included Mid and Low waterproof and non-waterproof options. My role included upper and midsole design.

The Explore allowed Keen to play with colors within their hike line. The style saw domestic and international success, remaining in the Keen Japan line long after it dropped from the North American line.
