Following the success of its Zionic and Zionic NXT hiking shoes, KEEN is expanding its fast & light Zionic collection with an open-air hiker designed for versatility. Zionic ADV is built for whatever adventures are on the horizon after walking out the door, whether navigating trails, streets, or the water’s edge. 

“The original Zionic was born from a trail runner, built as a fast hiker,” says Will Schuh, director of product management at KEEN. “With Zionic ADV, we wanted to help our fans bring that agility to more terrain. One shoe for everywhere. So we combined fast & light performance with open-air hybrid versatility.”

Zionic ADV shares the technical, trail-ready tread of the original Zionic. But with its airy upper and lightweight Katalyze+ foam cushioning, it’s the lightest Zionic yet. Zionic ADV can be worn with or without socks—it’s comfortable either way. The collar is made from compression fit textile that is stretchable enough for easy entry and secure enough for any adventure. Key features of this open-air hybrid hiker include:

●      Durable breathability: Innovative woven mesh upper maximizes breathability while providing superior abrasion resistance.

●      Light speed: Katalyze+ foam midsole provides a softer, more responsive ride with a 30% increase in energy return.

●      Technical tread: Higher-traction rubber outsole has an aggressive, studded lug pattern for better ground contact and fluid heel-to-toe movement.

●      Pull-on ease: Our compression fit textile is stretchable enough for easy entry and secure enough for any adventure with easy-cinch laces.

●      Contoured fit: Follows the contours of the foot for a more secure fit. Foot feels comfortably snug.

●      Pesticide-free odor control: Eco Anti-Odor fights foot funk with natural probiotics that are safe for human health and the environment.

Zionic ADV will be available in men’s and women’s sizing priced at £125 at www.keenfootwear.co.uk www.keenfootwear.co.ukand at select retailers starting in Feb 2026
