A reinterpretation of an icon

KEEN Introduces: UNEEK Loafer WK

KEEN presents an entirely new silhouette that combines outdoor comfort with a more formal expression.

The new UNEEK Loafer WK builds on the brand’s iconic two-cord sneaker – now transformed into an exclusive loafer crafted from premium leather, with each shoe individually numbered.

Developed from the iconic UNEEK open-air sneaker, the UNEEK Loafer WK retains the signature cord construction and hybrid comfort that KEEN is known for. KEEN’s design team has simplified the “Two-Cord silhouette” and reimagined it through a more formal lens, inspired by minimalist city loafers.

“Many people move seamlessly between work, social settings, and leisure—and need a shoe that can keep up,” says Carlie Satchwell, Director of Product Management at KEEN.
“We’ve taken our well-known UNEEK design and elevated it to a more sophisticated level, without compromising on comfort.”

With its braided leather detailing, the loafer pays an elegant tribute to the original UNEEK cord design, while maintaining a timeless and clean aesthetic—ideal for both city life and relaxed occasions. The new UNEEK Loafer WK will launch in limited quantities.

As with all KEEN footwear, the new UNEEK Loafer WK is consciously crafted without the use of forever chemicals. It is free from PFAS and antimicrobial substances. KEEN has been PFAS-free since 2018 and continues to use its expertise as a responsible shoemaker to benefit both people and the planet—sharing its sustainable innovations to help drive positive change.
