Jasper Zionic Safari Giggle Pink

Crag heritage lightens up, brushed suede meets a hit of pink

KEEN built its DNA on the mountain — climbing, rock, terrain that doesn't forgive mistakes. The Jasper Zionic takes that technical culture and brings it back down to the city without ever watering it down. This Safari Giggle Pink colorway flips the script on the range's usual khaki base: a light cream foundation warmed up with pink and navy accents, on a fast hiker that keeps every bit of its technical edge while claiming its spot as the freshest piece in the rotation.

The genuine leather upper, in a Safari cream colorway, runs a thick, matte brushed texture that catches the light differently than a standard smooth leather. The back collar and tongue shift to a deep navy blue, breaking sharply against the light base of the upper — a structuring detail that closes out the build. The laces, in a patterned Giggle Pink, cut through the neutral palette without ever tipping into gimmick territory. The tongue-to-toe lacing, which runs all the way to the front of the foot, locks in the whole upper in one motion. The leather comes from an LWG-certified tannery, for cleaner water impact across the supply chain. Underneath, the black rubber outsole runs 4mm multi-directional lugs, cut for grip more than looks — and yet the contrast against the light upper makes all the visual difference.

The Contoured Fit follows the natural shape of the foot for a snug hold that never compresses. The removable, resilient foam insole, with arch support, absorbs the miles without breaking down over time. The stability shank delivers lightweight stability without weighing the shoe down — key on a pair that comes in at just 272 grams. The higher-traction rubber outsole, with its 4mm multi-directional lugs, holds up on wet pavement just as well as uneven sidewalks. The pesticide-free Eco Anti-Odour treatment keeps odor in check naturally, a real plus for heavy daily rotation.
