Behind KNX: More Minimal, Sustainable, Flexible

We've always believed that connecting with outside should be part of everyone's day. 

That's what our new Consciously Created leather sneaker, KNX (as in connection), is all about. KNX brings the benefits of minimal, barefoot-inspired footwear into everyday wear. A 7-day-a-week sneaker that is crafted for more ground feel and less impact on the planet.

Here's how:

- Lightweight sole with flexible grooves allows your foot to move freely

4 mm drop keeps foot in natural position

Seamless stitch & turn construction creates a flexible fit that hugs and moves with your foot while still giving your toes room to spread out.

- The Amazon biome-safe leather is fused to the sole with KEEN.FUSION technology for a longer-lasting bond. No toxic glues needed.

In the video above, Rachel from our European Design Center walks through the Consciously Created construction choices that went into making the KNX sneaker lighter on your feet and the planet. Find your pair here.
