Gramicci and KEEN Team Up for Shaggy Suede Iterations of the Jasper Zionic Sneaker

As a seasoned outdoor enthusiast with roots deeply embedded in California, I can’t help but feel a profound connection to the Gramicci x KEEN Jasper Zionic collaboration. Having spent countless hours traipsing through rugged terrains, I appreciate the blend of functionality and style these brands have masterfully crafted.

Product Name: Gramicci x KEEN Jasper Zionic

Gramicci and KEEN share many similarities, despite being headquartered in different locations – Japan for Gramicci and Portland for KEEN. However, they both originated in California, and each focuses on rugged outdoor functionality without compromising practicality or comfort. As a testament to their shared roots and passion for the outdoors, they’ve collaborated on a modern twist of the Jasper Zionic sneaker, which takes inspiration from early 2000s outdoor gear and offers a bold, edgy alternative to KEEN’s popular Jasper sneaker.

In two color schemes, “Gothic Olive/Black” and “Sorrel Horse/Black”, the Gramicci x KEEN Jasper Zionic shoe showcases a hairy suede upper enhanced by Gramicci’s distinctive zig-zag stitching design. Additional stylistic elements include a personalized logo on the tongue, intricate insole patterns, and another hint of Gramicci’s zig-zag motif on the heel tab. From a technical perspective, the shoes boast a high-grip rubber sole with 4mm lugs for all-terrain traction, concealed stability shank, and a unique insole foam that offers additional arch support.
