KEEN, maker of original hybrid footwear, and Space Available, a Bali-based sustainable design studio, have launched their first collaboration: the KEEN UNEEK 360.
KEEN and Space Available share a commitment to sustainability and circular design, creating products that foster a more conscious connection to nature. Blending KEEN’s outdoor performance heritage with Space Available’s upcycled, design-led philosophy, the collaboration bridges city life and the natural world, encouraging everyday engagement with the outdoors, explained a news release.
“At the center of the partnership is the UNEEK 360—KEEN’s iconic two-cord silhouette reengineered with a modular, solvent-free construction. Eliminating traditional adhesives, the design supports KEEN’s detox initiative to remove harmful chemicals from footwear production,” it said.
“Consciously created with recycled materials—including cords made from recycled plastic bottles—the UNEEK 360 is built for durability and designed for end-of-life disassembly, marking a progressive step toward more circular footwear systems.
“Inspired by the ocean and the natural world, the collaboration features a thoughtfully curated color palette and is elevated by Space Available’s signature design elements, including a hand-stitched co-branding logo on the shoe tongue and recycled-material charms.”
A special campaign film was created to capture the spirit of the collaboration. Set against a record store journey through Tokyo, the film explores themes of cultural connection and respect—celebrating the rituals, spaces and communities that shape creative expression. Moving fluidly between city streets and moments of quiet discovery, the film expresses a lifestyle rooted in culture, curiosity and a deeper awareness of one’s surroundings—reflecting the shared values of craftsmanship, authenticity, and conscious living that unite KEEN and Space Available, said the press release.
Key features of the UNEEK 360 include:
· Recycled knit upper: Engineered knit upper contains recycled plastic bottles.
· Modular design: Innovative four-piece construction with removable knit upper can be disassembled at end-of-life.
· Abrasion-resistant foam outsole: Hybrid rubber/foam compound is super lightweight without compromising traction and durability.
· Articulated comfort: Cording moves on multiple axes for a snug, comfortable fit that adapts to your foot.
· Glue-free construction: Held together by cords, not glue, for a durable design that’s lighter on the planet.
· Pesticide-free odor control: Eco Anti-Odor uses natural probiotics that are safe for the environment.
This limited-edition UNEEK 360 Space Available sneaker is available worldwide at $260 CAD (men’s sizing) through KEEN and Space Available’s official retail and online channels.
Space Available is a sustainable design studio founded by Daniel Mitchell, the creator of the London-based brand LN-CC. Established in 2020 in Bali, the studio focuses on upcycling and recycling materials to create environmentally conscious products.
