With this new Hyperport H2, two esteemed outdoor brands meet.
KEEN and Snow Peak have long leaned into a similar ethos: high-performing durability and an emphasis on getting people outside in comfort and style. The KEEN x Snow Peak Hyperport H2, their first collaborative model (available for women, men and kids) reflects that shared ground.
KEEN Hyperport H2: Revisiting (and Revising) the Hybrid Sandal
KEEN introduced the Hyperport in 2024 as a lighter version of the popular Newport. Introduced in 2003, the Newport helped define a new category by blending toe protection with open-air, aqua-friendly comfort. The Hyperport H2 pushes that concept further, moving easily between environments (urban, trail, water) and offering a more sneaker-like setup underfoot.
A thick, injected foam midsole gives the shoe a softer, more cushioned ride than earlier KEEN sandals, while a high-traction outsole (Aquagrip rubber and zonal siping) adds confidence on slick or uneven ground. Though the Hyperport is very lightweight, it is not minimalist, but built for comfort over long, mixed-use days.
Built for Multi-terrain Versatility
The Hyperport H2 is equally at home on a casual hike, a canoe portage or a long day walking through the city. The quick-dry materials and secure bungee lacing system make it easy to transition between all settings and keep up the stoke all day.
KEEN’s signature elements are all here: a roomy toe box that lets your forefoot spread naturally, and the tough rubber toe bumper for unbeatable protection.
KEEN’s Eco Anti-Odour treatment helps manage the inevitable buildup without relying on pesticides, which feels like a practical addition for a sandal that’s meant to be worn hard.
Snow Peak’s Subtle Design Touches
Snow Peak’s influence is subtle, with an all-black adult version and a more playful kids’ model that nods to the brand’s colourful Hozuki lantern. This is a collaboration that doesn’t rely on loud graphics or heavy branding to make its point.
The KEEN x Snow Peak Hyperport H2 works because it doesn’t stray too far from what already works. It refines the hybrid sandal idea with a format and design that feels at ease in pretty much any environment.
In a footwear space crowded with overbuilt or overhyped options, its appeal lies in something simpler: comfort, versatility and sustainability.
